We came down for the MLB speedway classic game at Bristol and needed a place to stay close by. This rental checked the boxes we were looking for. I’d call it a great value for what we got. Remote location that was quiet and ideal for getting some rest after a long day on the road and another long day at the ballpark. The unit was clean and the bathroom/shower house was immaculate.
