It was an overall wonderful experience and the staff was so friendly.
Pros:

It was clean and close to a lot of amenities.

Cons:

They were very strict about their white towels and sheets. Which I get some people treat hotels poorly, but having to be so mindful of getting anything on the towels/sheets made me feel like I was walking on eggshells with my kid doing the same!

Pros:

After a long, hot day on the 127 yardsales, they were ready for us. AC was on good and cold. Small bar in the same building. Cold beer and good food.
