Clean, basic, affordable mom and pop hotel. Has a pool. The older gentleman in god front was a good Ole boy, easily in his 80"s, friendly and remembers everybody that's stayed in the past. Definitely will stay here again.

Happy to say the room and staff was way better than expected! Usually with such resonable pricing for a hotel on a Saturday -Sunday (5/31/25 -6/1/25) its sketchy The Young woman at the front desk was super sweet! We drove a truck hauling a pontoon boat and was able to park easily with a full view of it from our window. Parking lot is very well lit. Room was very clean with small fridge and microwave. The room was perfect for our last minute trip to the near by lake. We didnt use the pool but checked it out and it was very clean.
