Too expensive for what you get
This hotel would be less than $50/night anywhere else, but they take full advantage of being 1 of 2 hotels in the area by jacking up the price. (The other hotel is just as expensive and just as bad.)

It was a typical mom and pop motel that had older furniture and was not fancy at all, but it was clean and they had doughnuts for breakfast.

Stay was ok- clearly owner and family live in the hotel, so almost seems like a home (which can be good or bad). Breakfast was only plastic donuts and coffee so I think a much better job could be done in this area. Room was clean and comfortable.

For the price I expected more up to date, very outdated but was very clean. Staff was friendly, breakfast was a couple doughnuts, cereal and lukewarm coffee. Wouldn’t stay again.
