There’s probably better options close by

We stayed one night on the way back from a family party. The hotel staff was nice. The room was okay, lots of visible wear and tear and not the best. The pool was green and gross, definitely would not plan to go in. Breakfast cost extra and was very limited selection, not worth the price for some boxed scrambled eggs. That being said, it was fairly cheap for one night. I wouldn’t go back though.
