The hotel was nice only reason I gave a one star on the property conditions was because of the roaches we kept seeing and we had water coming through the floor from the a/c

Staff was quiet but friendly . Room was clean and smelled good and perfect by the wonderful pool. The pool was a highlight for sure . Only small complaint was little mold in bathroom behind the door and the bathroom door did not shut , the door was bigger than the frame so you just had to hold it shut while using the facilities . Was hopeful for waffles for the kids but it was just cereal and bagels. But it did the job

Was booked in a smoking room - desk said they were full - maybe they were, maybe they weren’t no stopper for bathtub. Thin walls. Not the hotel’s fault but the Mexican food across the parking lot was mid at best

Overall it was a good stay. Pool was great. In room 169, there was a dead cockroach and the toilet doesn’t flush unless you continue to hold down the handle. Even then, it’s slow to go down if it does. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast is cereal, toast, bagels, and yogurt. To drink is coffee, orange juice and apple juice. There is Cracker Barrel and McDonalds across the street.

Check in was quick and easy. The hotel was located within a few minutes of several restaurants and gas stations. Also not far from many attractions. The room was clean and very spacious, And the bed was very comfortable as well.

Joseph

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room we had appeared to be in rather poor shape. Was the cheapest room we selected for an overnight travel stay, but did not know till we checked in that is was a smoking room. We checked in fairly late at night, and was supposedly a last room so accepted it. The room smelled heavy of smoking but initially appeared pretty clean and tidy. The shower wall was cracked. The tissue box only had (x1) kleenex tissue left in it. The bed was super comfortable. Found out in the morning that the textured ceiling had A LOT of blackness to it very much like black mold. Maybe that was from smoking or vaping, but the white walls were very clean. The bed sheets had multiple cigarette burns and maybe a wax stain. The rest of the facility, grounds and staff was great. Maybe we got the worst room at this hotel location. I feel that room should not have been rented out and we should have moved on to another hotel.

If you need a place to shower and lay your head after a fun day of caving you will be pleasantly surprised. You can't beat the price.

Was great except the room we were staying in had a gap on sides and bottom of door thus allowing bugs to get in. Other than cosmetic issues told it needed remodeling. Pool was amazing on the outdoor patio. Beds were very comfy n cozy. Walkable to the Mexican restaurant for food. Customer service was amazing and the light breakfast was good.

They deactivate your key cards around 9 am. The vending machines steal your money and the hot water works sometimes. I wouldn't stay here again if given the choice. The rooms were clean, but the bed was springy and the doors didn't shut securely.

Website description fairly accurate. Units had been "freshened up" post tornado activity in the area. Was a bit concerned with the method. We had what I would consider not so safe electrical work done in the unit I was in with romex exposed in the room. I felt the work was not up to code but no danger so we stayed. The room was clean and fresh.
