Very clean place, you might want to look at the ceiling fans.

I stayed there 30 years ago. Nothing was updated.
Positive: Good location
Negative: The facility was clean and well-maintained, which we appreciated. However, the outdoor lighting could be improved, as it was difficult to see at night. We also had some difficulty with the locks, which made getting in and out a bit challenging. Additionally, basic bathroom amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were not provided. Overall, the stay was satisfactory, but addressing these issues would make the experience more comfortable and convenient for future guests.
