EV charging just outside the city

We picked this primarily with EV charging in mind, and weren't disappointed either. Comfy beds, nice meals. Friendly staff, clean. Its 3 miles south of the city but the city parking is good and the traffics not bad.

Old, well worn and with hidden costs like paid parking even though the hotel is well out of the city with its own large parking lot. Cheap but not cheap enough to stay again.
