The hotel room was clean. The staff was friendly and super helpful. The breakfast was standard. We are organic food, alternative milk kind of eaters, so we understand that our preference is hard to accommodate. The pool and gym was older and they connected into people's rooms, which was different. They had games in the lobby and a fire pit which was nice. I think for the 80$ a night price, its a fare deal.

Decor was cute and room was fairly clean. However the amenities and certain items such as the toilet are old and need replacing. The tv was small and needs upgrading. The channels kept losing signal all night. The breakfast... was really sad! Hands down ghe worst fake eggs I've ever had and my bar for fake eggs is very low.

Jen was very sweet to us and our dog. He loved her because she gave him treats. The room was big and comfortable. It was very quiet but in the middle of everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

Rooms are always clean, the staff is friendly and always remember us when we come to stay. The hot tub was great, we don’t usually take time to use it but we had the time and it was a clean area. Breakfast is great also. I will say, I wish they had more options like breakfast potatoes or sausage or bacon but I really can’t complain because the sausage gravy and biscuits are delish and so are the eggs!

We stay here frequently when we’re in town. Parking is easy and front desk staff is consistently excellent. Special thank you to Jen at the front desk. We stayed in room 315, on the opposite side of the section where the pool is, and it was extremely quiet. The bathroom looked like it could use a little TLC, but the room was quiet and warm and dark when we needed to sleep. In room, coffee was surprisingly good. Nice to have a breakfast as an option. We will be back!
