Clean, quiet, reasonable
Pros:

I needed a clean and quiet place to spend the night that was reasonably priced. This place is perfect.

Cons:

I read complaints about not having a pool, furniture needing an update. The people who wrote those reviews need to spend an extra $100+ and go to Bemidji to stay at a five star resort.
