“While experiences seem inconsistent-some rooms are dated, others surprisingly modern-the staff's friendliness and the good coffee are definite pluses; proximity to gas and restaurants adds convenience. It seems a gamble, though, as some reported concerns, but others found it satisfactory for a quick stop. Choose cautiously.”
