Our stay was very good for the pricing and the location.
Pros:

The room met our needs for a weekend away from home during a fumigation. The room was clean, and we basically had everything we needed for a brief stay. Our lodging experience was very good.

Cons:

The refrigerator freezer section was thick with ice and would have been better if it had been defrosted. The refrigerator and microwave were not balanced adequately and moved irregularly when trying to open the refrigerator door.
