Sparta can do better.

The facility was a dump. The worst place we stayed at during our 10 day travel. Big area to let the dog run but nothing else positive.

Don't judge a book by its cover! The service at Briarwood is courteous and diligent. The outside and surrounding area might be a little run down, but the owners keep the rooms clean and relatively updated. I've stayed in major chains that haven't kept the rooms as nice and charged way more per night. The walls had a fresh coat of paint, wood-laminate floors, larger mini-fridge, microwave, and the bed was comfortable. I would stay here again, especially at these prices!
