I'm not sure why all the bad reviews. I stayed for 3 nights. The rooms are a bit outdated but was very clean. There were no extra critters in my room. Never even noticed signs of bugs of any kind. Internet worked great. Was very quiet. Owners lived on property and were very nice people. Check in was less than 5 minutes.

Was visiting family and wanted a place to stay for a night. I bit pricey and rooms are a bit outdated. I paid $84 for one night but other than. Real quiet, clean rooms and near plenty of restaurants but their Wi-Fi signal was bad. Kept going in and out during the time I was there.
