Is this by chance the Candeo Hotel? If so, I've stayed there for a night last year, and the hotel itself is certainly respectable. You will be a stone's throw away from about 20 or 30 love motels, and even a couple of places that will provide loving for you (not counting the prostitutes that will make a play for you), but if you avoid the backroads you won't have to deal with them.
