Our stay was very good. I want to say I wish every desk person was as friendly as Nancy and every breakfast person was as nice as this one. I didn't catch her name. We have now stayed in 3 this trip so far and these folks are the best the last one in Alabama the breakfast woman was grumpy and shut the door to play on her cell phone and morning desk clerk was asleep with her head on the desk when we came down.

Call before booking to make certain amenities are.
The pool wasclosed without notice. The reservation was non refundable. The clerk asked me if it was going to be a problem. I replied yes. The outdoor pool was the reason we chose to stay here. I was also asked many questions that I am not used to being asked. Why were we here, do we have kids. A $100 fee was held on my card that may not be released for 5 days and she called to make sure the room was up to my standards. She knew we were disappointed about the pool.

Really more of a motel with outside steps to second floor. Rooms have been upgraded and are clean. AC struggled all night to cool the room. Staff was very nice and the price was quite reasonable.

The dinner and breakfast options saved me money. And the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and my room was clean. The only thing I would fix is the smell that came from the AC when turned on. Maybe the filters need to change or maybe some freshener might be more welcoming when you first enter the room. But, overall, I would stay here again.

Reasonable price, pet friendly and friendly staff
We stayed in a pet friendly room. It was a nice size room with a standard bathroom, good water pressure. The beds were very comfortable. The only negative with room itself was the carpet. It seemed a little sticky which I believe is due to how it is being cleaned which is leaving soap residue behind. The room smelled clean and all other surfaces were clean. Also was not thrilled with the complementary breakfast. The selection was a bit sparse and the coffee was a little bitter. But all in all the staff was helpful and friendly and the price reasonable and being pet friendly I would still recommend this hotel.

The appearance of the hotel was nice. It was clean didn’t smell like home food which I’ve been to plenty and smelling like food was not very welcoming. The customer service was very professional.
