Don’t Waste Your Money

They had finished mopping it right before we got there…five hours after check in time. And even though they had clearly mopped, there was mystery hair in the tub and on the bathroom floor. The blankets are so starchy, the water here turned my sons’ skin red even though it was lukewarm at best, paper thin walls, smells like sweat or cigarettes or both in the hallway. Worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Never again. Receptionist was really sweet.

It was a great location and close to the places we wanted to see on our trip like The Allman Brothers Band’s Big House Museum and Capricorn Studios. It was safe and quiet and the hot breakfast of link sausages, gravy, scrambled eggs, cereal, toast, yogurt and fruit were a good variety that I don’t often see at the “free breakfast” hotels.

It smelled of cigarettes, and it was noisy due to all the motorcycles having a party in the back. They did leave by 10 pm. The breakfast was good, and the room was clean and tidy...I left tips for the room cleaners and the breakfast staff.

This budget hotel is subpar even for a budget hotel. It was poorly kept. Our room had such an eye and nose burning smell of cleaning products it felt like a health hazard, and our eyes burned the whole next day. It was dingy with very low ceilings. The walls were thin, and the TV was really old (no Netflix ect). The staff was friendly, but We won’t be back.

I would stay here again.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable, not to hard and not to soft. It was quiet. The breakfast was adequate & service was good and friendly. The hotel is being renovated & we were on the side that is not finished yet so we had no vending machine on our side. I didn’t like that the closest way to breakfast from building E was across the courtyard into the next building. I suggest they don’t put senior citizens that far from the lobby.

Felt dirty, poor service.

We had to wait for someone to come to the front desk for probably 10 minutes, there were 7 people in the lobby waiting. No apology when they arrived to the desk that they had us waiting. The room was not clean, there was hair in the bathroom & the floor felt unclean. The whole hotel felt sketchy/dirty. The breakfast was very lacking. Will not stay here again.
