Normal room, clean with good running water. Low rating was due to ongoing construction which was not indicated in the hotel description during booking. Noise insulation from road noise was good but not from room upstairs. Breakfast was basic and ok.

Great little spot with fair pricing

It was clean and priced fairly. The rooms are on the smaller side but it was clean and comfortable. Parking is a little tight, if you have a trailer there’s no room for that onsite.
