Raeann, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a wonderful room, breakfast was absolutely great, the beds were comfortable. The pillows were pretty good, the employees were the only issue and they were still really sweet but their English was a challenge so asking for another wet/ laundry bag to put the wet swimsuits in. They kept offering us tissue boxes

John, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Adequate place to stay for a quick weekend or trip

Really needs a general update (paint, new carpet). Breakfast was typical budget hot breakfast. There is no elevator and the hallways are quite long. Room was comfy, but we were on the highway side and it could get loud once in awhile. On the bright side there was easy access to anywhere we needed to go in town.
Joel, 2-night trip

Older building, but no maintenance issues. Very friendly staff.

I was comfortable enough to get a goodnight sleep,and the room location with parking was very convenient
Willie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value

Room was very clean. We got an updated room with hard service floors. You will probably need to ask for more towels and there’s no hooks in the bathroom. Put the temperature in cleanliness of the room was great! Front of the building looks a little beat up. Being right off the interstate, I understand. But for the price, the quality and stay was great!
Beth Ann, 2-night trip

Smooth Check-In, Amazing A/C

Check in was fast and smooth. We stayed two nights. The room was clean. We were hot from the steamy weather outside but the A/C cooled the room so well that we had to turn it off. Breakfast was a nice (biscuits and gravy).
James, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel did not have an elevator. It was clean but could use some updating. The breakfast was only sub par. At one time, 4 members of the cleaning staff were having a heated discussion in the hallway which was not very professional.
