“The interior offers a surprisingly pleasant contrast to the exterior's retro aesthetic, with remodeled bathrooms and a practical midsize fridge as welcome features; plus, it is quite close to FSU and the Capitol. For budget-conscious travellers, this option balances location with essential comforts, in my opinion. A worthwhile consideration for a brief stay in town.”
