Nice place to lay your head for the night. Was given key card for someone’s room. Good thing they weren’t naked when I opened the door to their surprise. Lmao. Other than that snafu at check in, place was ok. Clean and plenty of parking. We were towing a car trailer so I liked the availability to park near our room.
