Only good thing about this property is the Tesla super charger across the street. I stayed at townplace sister property down the road and it was cheaper and much better. They would barely stock and food on the breakfast buffet.

The hotel is a hidden gem. Although there was road work during our stay, we really liked there is a Cracker Barrel across the street you can walk to. The hotel was clean and the staff was very accommodating.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The staff was friendly and always willing to help, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The only small issue was the breakfast. It wasn’t bad, but I would suggest offering a bit more variety. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Room condition was average at best. Towels were worn out and needed replacing. This property was obviously a conversion from another brand. Small elevator and the doors were old looking. Breakfast staff was very nice and helpful as was the front desk people.

The room was nice, overall okay. We were given a room at the very end of the first floor (probably because it was a dog friendly room), but the Wi-Fi did not like working in that location. The staff was very kind and helpful, the room was semi updated. The bedding and pillows could’ve been better, but they were good. You could tell it was well cleaned, except for the ceilings and walls in the bathroom. Since they were tall, there was mold on the ceiling. And since there was dark wallpaper on the walls, you could only kinda tell it was dirty. Air conditioning and heater worked great for the room, and shower pressure was decent.
