Great spot for our Spring Training Trip

This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

Lantern airport

Close to the airport. Nice Tiki bar. Floors were dirty in the room. Microwave is so high up it’s hard to use. All in all we would stay there again because of the location and bar. Locals show up to have a drink there. Right next to a busy highway.
