Splendid Stay
My friends and I stayed only a few hours as a quick stop during the night while road tripping. The room was clean, and everything was neat; however, the one drawback was the A/C circulation throughout the room: it was not the greatest and was a very warm night. However, everything else overshadowed that small detail. It is a great place to bunk for the night!
