“For travelers seeking no-frills lodging, this roadside option presents clean, simple rooms equipped with essentials like refrigerators and coffee makers. While lacking extensive amenities-ice and vending require front desk assistance-the location provides ample parking and convenient access to the highway. I believe it's a practical choice for budget-conscious travelers needing a comfortable overnight stay.”
