Great experience at an awesome price

This was a very nice hotel and glad we found it! The staff was awesome especially Kristen at the front desk. She was very helpful and kind which you don't find much anymore these days. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast was complimentary and very good and different options to fill you up. The price of this hotel was perfect as the quality of the hotel all around was 110% well worth it. This is a family ran hotel which makes it even better. We will definitely be staying here again when we come this way. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay!

Overall the stay was fine. The shower was fantastic. The room was a little dirty in the corners but the beds and bathroom were clean. The breakfast wasn’t good compared to others but for the price it was fine. Staff were really nice, area appeared safe, and things were quiet. I would be willing to stay again. It wasn’t the best I’ve stayed in but sure wasn’t the worst!

Easy check in and check out. I did not have breakfast so have no review for that. Clean, comfortable, quiet. The mattress and pillows were OK. Nice fridge, microwave, and great little coffee maker/good coffee! Mostly upgraded and remodeled. Good value for price and location.

Awful humidity

The room was sooooo humid, the bed felt wet and the room had a weird smell (could have been mildew). There was a dehumidifier in the hallway but it was full and no one had emptied it but it wouldn’t have solved the humidity problem anyway.

Clean comfortable room. Pillows were good. Tried breakfast one morning. Not many choices and the hot food needed to be refilled but I didn’t see anyone taking care of it. Quiet. Felt safe. I’d stay again.

I was hoping for biscuits and gravy for breakfast but they didn’t serve any. I Like that they had lactose free milk.
