"The receptionist was asleep in her chair when I first arrived, but she attended to my needs when I came to the counter. For the price, the hotel was very good. It is pretty basic, but I found the room very clean with a nice bathroom with a good shower. The hallways and stair case could use some cleaning. I would have no problem recommending this for a traveler who wants a clean room, bed and shower, with a safe place to park. The price was excellent, which I appreciated. Also, there were a number of places to eat nearby, including a Cracker Barrel which you could walk to in about four minutes. All in all, I would definitely stay there again."
