Rooms were clean and comfortable. Location is private and close to highway. Only downside were the towels could use replacing, as they felt very rough.

It was clean, smelled great, the people that checked me in were so nice. I love that you know what to expect with red roofs, and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This place was ever so slightly off the beaten path but I think that's what made it a bit nicer to stay at. Small and quiet but the rooms were spacious and well kept. Extremely clean compared to most of the hotels we stay at. The room even had a nice smell to it as you walked in and it was a pet room! The staff/owners R.V. and his wife were very friendly and accommodating, even with us checking in during the middle of the night with no reservation. We will definitely be back if we're ever headed this way again. God bless!

It was very basic but also very clean! Was not worried about bringing home any biologic buddies that can sometimes be found in hotel rooms. Every other hotel in the area wanted over 200 dollars. This was very affordable. Bed was extremely comfortable!
