What a great place to end up at after a long, long day of driving. Since they do remote check-in, I called in while enroute to get my room number and door entry code, and the lady I chatted with was wonderful and friendly. I arrived late, and her directions, even telling me what parking spots would be open, was spot on. Room was clean, well kept and looked recently renovated. I slept great. It was pouring rain when I arrived so the roof overhang was a godsend when moving my gear into my room, keeping everything dry. Price was great, I would stay there again for sure, the next time I am in the area.
