Stayed here to get away from tornado weather, out of our mobile home, over our area in Ringgold, GA. It was a nice place and in walking distance to Ruby Tuesday. They have a tornado plan in place for guests and everything and the hotel was even rated for a tornado from what I was told. Great, clean, safe and cozy place to stay during bad weather or anytime.
