“This spot makes a smart overnight stop, given its easy access to I-75 and nearby services. Remodeled rooms offer surprisingly fresh interiors-a welcome contrast to what you might expect from the outside. I especially appreciate the thoughtful touch of good quality toilet paper; it's a small detail that speaks volumes.”
