8/10 Good
"I graded this on a curve because I had to find it at the last minute. I was originally supposed to stay at another place, but the other place didn't have a record of my reservation and had no vacancies. I'd been driving for hours. I was frustrated, tired, and hungry. All I wanted was a shower and a bed. And I found that here. It's not fancy. It's old and shows the wear and tear. I wouldn't trust the pool. But it was clean and the staff were friendly. If all you want is a place to crash, this place works just fine."
