VerifiedNovember 26, 2019 β’ Stayed at: UCGS01, Loop: UPPER CROSSING GUARD STATION
The location by far is the best and only attribute worth noting. We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the place. Hair all over the beds from animals (dogs), dirt everywhere you looked. Luckily we brought some Clorox wipes which came in very handy.
The interior could use a painting throughout.
There are much better places to stay for the price.
