“Ideal for vacationing families, the accommodations include spacious rooms for four. I noted some trade-offs, with spotless interiors balanced by the bathroom's location outside the room itself; however, exclusive access is assured. A roadside spot limits parking-a potential snag-but the room service satisfied me.”
