We are traveling from Arizona to Alaska and starting a YouTube channel about our journey. It is hard to find a place to stop and take the time to clean out our camper and enjoy the trip without people accusing us of trying to squat on their property. This place provided just what we were looking for

False advertisement

Yo checkin was goid, staff was nuce. When i got in the room, it smelled like cigarette smike and the towels looked like some used them to clean the engine of their car. The tub was really dirty, soap scum everywhere and rust. The shower curtain was dirty, it needed to be thrown away. The tv was huge and the bed was ok. Will never stay here again.
