“Renovated rooms offer a quiet, comfortable retreat, surprisingly well-equipped with kitchenettes and fluffy cotton towels, especially notable given the straightforward roadside inn feel and accessible pricing. The property's extensive, fenced dog area and welcoming attitude towards pets, alongside a helpful manager keen to accommodate needs, make it a place I'd consider returning to.”
