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.

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!
