While the unit and facilities were excellent, the close proximity to the main road meant continuous heavy truck noise throughout the night.

Stayed 2 nights in a King room and everything was presented as advertised. Exceptionally clean and well maintained, nice room amenities. Hassle free check in and out. Easy walking distance to main street and traffic noise was minimal even being on the main hwy side. I would recommend 👌.
