"This was a great, affordable stop for us since we flew in late at night and headed out early the next morning. The building was clean and well-maintained, and breakfast was good. The pool also looked well-maintained, but unfortunately, it was raining, so we didn’t get a chance to use it. The surrounding area was just okay, with quite a bit of police activity. Overall, it was a good option for a quick overnight stay!"
