"The room is basic and clean. We only needed it for one night, so as a place to sleep it was fine. The best parts were the front desk staff. One helped us with getting a spot to charge our electric car on the fly, even though we hadn't reserved a spot. The other, when our plans had changed and we couldn't stay for the breakfast we'd paid for, packed two very lovely breakfast bags for us to take with us on the road. Budget hotel with luxury hotel staff."
