"It was a convenient and cheap stop in our road trip. It is in a convenient location near the highway and has a few restaurants options at walking distance. We enjoyed our stay overall but it could have been better with a few improvements. The carpet in the room wasn't the cleanest, the shower was very small, and the breakfast buffet was missing savoury options."
