You get what you pay for. This is a bare bones lodging experience. If you're just looking for a safe and comfortable place to sleep overnight, without any frills whatsoever (not even a tiny coffee maker), then this is the place for you.

I suppose it could have been worse. They appear to be doing and offering the bare minimum. Pool was also closed, not that I would have gotten in it based on the level of upkeep on the rest of the property.
