10/10 Excellent
"I use this place a lot when I travel to go on fishing trips. Not a fancy type place but a good safe friendly place to stay for a few days. Staff has always been friendly and helpful, especially Ms. Ray over the breakfast. She does her best to keep everything full even when extremely busy. Ms.Ray always helps start my days off in an excellent mood when I'm greeted with her amazing smile and up beat attitude."
