Olive Tree Inn & Suites
Very polite staff. Clean rooms and beds. The hotel is a bit old, and from the era when smoking rooms were more prominent. But it was clean. We ran the AC to cover over the smell, and the unit didn’t really love being on all night. But other than the faint smell of old smoke it was a nice stay.

There was a chair in the swimming pool for a couple days. I didn't feel like I could swim in the pool.
