We enjoyed one night and will actually be returning in two weeks. Room was acceptable. Clean with a comfortable bed. As expected, the unit was somewhat dated but was just fine for our visit.

Very cute décor, not the most comfortable or fresh, but clean and easy self check in/out system (door has a code which is communicated in advance). Lots of food options short drive away.
