I stayed here about 9 days as i was getting settled into my home. I had no bed bug issues & i also had no roaches etc. The staff was very sweet and made my stay amazing. I highly reccomend them if you need peace and quiet. Only noise i heard was the train and that wasnt even bad at all to be honest. Also the place is nice and i was there for a week and still picked up my trash and all. There is no need to leave things dirty. Clean up after yourself, that is to the people that seemed mad they had to pickup after their kids in the previous reviews. Thanks guys for a good stay.
This a bare bones room. You get what you pay for. It provided a bed behind a locked door. Everything was clean and in working order. I live by trains so I was able to sleep through it after about the 3rd one. This is a good place when you need a room. We needed it and were glad it was there.
very pretty newly renovated, clean spacious rooms. friendly staff we enjoyed our stay here at reasonable price, would highly recommend this place to my friends and family.
It's OK for a cheap motel. Fair prices. The owner and his wife are nice people. Loud at night between the road and the train tracks though.
She has been the most helpful hotel owner I've ever come across. Super nice, very inviting and the rooms are actually better than expected. It's a little far out of town for me but I would still highly recommend for the price, it can't be beat non the less.
Love this place friendly peaceful environment for a very good price. very friendly staff kind people will highly recommend this place to friends. stayed here during the storm and they really took care of us
