Rozanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, mostly quiet, mostly safe

Clean, adequate, & mostly safe for overnight stay. There are 3-4, 2-story buildings, each containing about 12 rooms. You enter the building (door is NOT locked) to reach a hall: your room (which IS locked) is off this hall. Front desk clerk was nice. We left before breakfast was available.
