It was a decent place to stay at. The Jacuzzi was the best part because it had disco lights on top which made even better. I would definitely love to come back.

Home Run Inn pizza 109th western sausage, cheese, mushrooms with white sauce not red. It tastes so very good. I got a large pizza just for me. I was thirty minutes early on Sunday they didn't open until 11am. I was there at 10:30 am and waited until they opened. I'm faithful didn't want anyone's pizza but theirs. This is the best pizza ever 10 stars... It was worth the wait
