Sunset Inn
Nice and clean room. Very comfortable. Nice king size bed, would’ve been excellent if it wasn’t creaking when I tossed n turned on the bed. Restroom was newly upgraded. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I would recommend this place.

I have stayed here once before and didnt have the same experience. I'm going to share the negatives then positives of this room. I felt i got an 'Expedia' room. Or one that had not been checked in a while. There was a water bottle behind the bedside table, dirty towels thrown in the closet I'm sure ...
