Wonderful stay! Friendly staff and clean clean clean! Breakfast was a bonus. I took the general managers business card so I could give her 5 stars. Shelley Bays Burroughs gets a job well done managing this!! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a great breakfast in the lobby. The only issue I had with the hotel was the price. I think it was a little too pricey for the area.

Our room was very nice. The breakfast buffet was real good. They offered several different items.

This location was ideal for an early morning appointment. It was only a few miles away from the location, and there were a few restaurants that were in the area also. The staff were personable, especially Mr Jim and his son. Scott was nice too. The breakfast was good! Mr Jim keeps it stocked as possible and I like that he asked, “what kind of eggs do I like?”

The rooms along the back look out over a hillside with trees and vegetation. Peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was good (really like the mini omelettes with cheese). Whole building is remodeled so everything is up to date. Several restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed our stay of 2 nights.

Very Nice
Everything was outstanding - Only drawback was view from window - Only thing we could see was the back of the front breezeway roof

This property was misleading in their ad and reported they offered a continental breakfast in their listing. This was NOT true. This property doesnt even offer coffee or any food. The rooms were so filthy with mold and mildew and stained furniture, dirty shower curtain and dirty microwave, looked like dried blood on the ceiling. To make matters worse, the fire alarm went off at 7am, ear piercing alarm with flashing lights, after only a few hours of sleep. If the hotel staff knew the room was faulty, it shouldn't have been rented out. This place is a scam and should be inspected by the health department.
