The staff were very friendly and courteous, the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We were right across from the pool but it wasn't noisy at all. The breakfast was good, but food ran out quickly. We would stay here again.

The hotel is nice, updated & clean. The indoor pool was a nice plus. They had a lot of nice breakfast options, cheese omelette, biscuits & gravy, sausage, pancakes. Check in / out were fast & easy. There is only a gas station that you can walk to, no restaurants or any place to buy beer. That was the only down side. The hotel itself was very nice & a good deal

I was very disappointed that when I arrived to the hotel to check in, the room was not ready. After a long drive this is the least you want to hear, "Your room is not ready". If they give you a time for check in, the rooms should be ready.

The room has leaks in the ceiling. Every time you walked into the room, there is mildew smell. We were assigned handicap room even though we are not handicapped. The handicap chair in the bathroom could not be lift out during shower. It was one of our worst stay.
