“For a spontaneous getaway, this place has a nostalgic charm that's surprisingly appealing. The rooms, particularly those with separate living areas, offer a comfortable and clean space, although some may find the décor a bit dated. Its location, just a short drive from downtown, makes it a practical choice for exploring the area.”
