This charmingly ghetto garden retreat is nestled in the picturesque hollows of the gorgeous Elkton industrial area. Visitors enjoy the beautifully antiquated pavement of the scenic Pulaski highway with it's bounty of commercial attractions. Highly recommended for anyone who desires sanctuary from the elements!

Never had any problems while staying there. Low prices for nice accommodations. Basically an extended stay motel. Since they cleaned the place up there has been no problems and the office is now strict and doesn't put up with nonsense, they kick problem people out quick so if u plan on staying to cause problems etc I would think again,its not like it used to be. Decent families live here now.
