Come on now, it's an old Petro. So yes, the showers could be cleaner but for how old it it, they are decent. Plenty of parking. Still has the IronSkillet. Movie area. This place is solid

The barbershop is something serious. Had a great conversation about music and how it has changed, and received the tightest shadow fade in Carnesville, Georgia. Atlanta here I come, somebody call my momma.
