Краткий обзор: A textbook road-warrior haven that nails the basics but forces you to navigate an awkward service road to get in.
Подтверждено @chitowntina: I stayed here for work and was blown away by the desk setup—it's literally a private office. The room is huge and feels brand new. Perfect spot if you need to be productive on the road without spending a fortune.

Советы инсайдеров
- ✨
The 'saltwater' pool is a rare find for this price point—much easier on the skin than chlorine.
- ✨
Ask for a 'quiet side' room at check-in; the staff knows exactly which ones dampen the I-85 noise best.
- ✨
There is a 'toiletries on the wall' dispenser system, so you won't get tiny travel bottles to take home.
