Breakfast was gross. No elevator. Loud hallways. No shampoo or conditioner. It was one step up from staying in a car.

Check in was ok put a request in to be on first floor. I dont know if they read them or what was too tired to fight about it. The bed was very uncomfortable hard as a rock. The entrance doors aint secure like other hotels. Parking lot could use some help in hence cleaning and up keep. Over all the hotel as a whole could be up dated. Dogs in rooms barking all night. The breakfast was mediocre at best just had sausages and hard biscuits and gravy. No other hot food options.

Spacious room. Comfortable beds. Needed housekeeping to supply a stopper for the bathtub. For some reason, the door key/cards needed to be renewed more than once over the course of five days. Fortunately the manager was always at the desk to take care of the problem. All in all, it was a good place to stay.

Room was fine, plenty of towels. The AC was set correctly but it didn’t come on all night. Around 8:30am it finally kicked on. Bed was average but not amazing. Breakfast had waffles, biscuits and gravy, and sausage patties, plus other cold stuff.
