For a reasonably priced, interstate hotel, this was great. Rooms were clean. Staff was so nice. Breakfast was simple, very good, plentiful, and well staffed--normal pastries, juices, and cereals eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, waffles, grits, fruit, etc. The property was in good shape. TY for a great experience.

Review

The only problem we had was it seemed like the tub was going to fall through the floor. The tub floor was very soft and had a crack in it when we checked in. Of course it was not discovered until shower time. Other than that it was an excellent stay and we will definitely stay again.
