The Snoozzz Inn
"Location was OK, but will be nicer when restaurant is open and new fence up. Hot water in shower did not last long enough for a good hot shower; towels had stains although they smelled clean. Toiletries were nice and plentiful. Need to put directions for the room coffee machine.!"

Parking was a breeze, never had much use for the air conditioning. Our bathroom was bigger than expected. ..."
