“This spot seems best suited to those prioritizing budget over pristine conditions, perhaps a construction worker needing a functional space. The generously sized handicapped-accessible rooms offer ample space, especially in the bathroom. While some cosmetic issues exist, and you might experience television signal disruptions during rain, it could serve as a practical choice for certain travelers.”
