One night stay!

We chose this hotel due to the closeness to the main highway… A short overnight stay that provided what we need…a good night rest but the beds were too small for what we’re used to Breakfast was good and staff was friendly!

No restaurants nearby. Only the one on the property. My towels had yellow stains on them, which had me very grossed out. I decided to drive 20 minutes to stay at another hotel the following day.
