Older facility, sandwiched between two other older facilities. Served the purpose for an overnight stay. It was clean, no frills, reasonable price if you just need a bed and a shower.

Do not go here! It looks like it’s deserted and run down to the point we wouldn’t even get out of the car. The pool looked liked it was closed up and deserted.i did not feel comfortable staying here and they refused to refund me. There wasn’t even an office on the property! Do not waste your money!!
