“For a budget stay, Discovery Inn provides essential comforts near local dining; updated flooring and comfortable beds stand out. While some find the property a bit dated or noisy, the friendly staff and hot water are consistently appreciated, in my opinion. It's a practical choice if proximity to medical facilities is key.”
