The dog comes and greets you although its a little shy actually Snacks are good too
robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay when you want to hit the road early. Check out is at 10 am, a full hour earlier than most places. In the morning I got a knock on my door. “Checkout is at 10 am. It is now 9:48.” So in case you don’t look at your watch or the clock, you will still be on the road by 10 am. Like finding an extra hour in my day!
Sheryl, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The location was close next to the lake. The bed was bad and on a metal platform so it made weird noises whenever you moved. The room was small and bathroom was even smaller. The worst part was the SPIDERS! There was such a huge gap under the window air conditioner that anything could have come in! Soo many wolf spiders that we left before sunrise. Couldn’t leave any faster! Will not go back.
