My husband and I loved the pool and hot tub! We really liked the breakfast options. The omelet bar was really neat, wish they had more options to add on the omelet. He did kind of burn our omelets, but we still ate them. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but the room is spacious. We were able to do our laundry there as well. $4 for washer and dryer.

Secluded hotel with great property for pets. We took our dog with us and were so impressed with the grounds and the room to walk around. The landscaping was meticulously maintained. The buffet breakfast with omelet and waffle station was excellent, and thry had every other breakfast option available as well. The room was clean, if a little run down, and the bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

What a surprise this hotel was. We normally stay at the Hamptons off of I-75 but at $175 a night forced us to look elsewhere and luckily this popped up. Cheaper and better, and one of the better breakfasts included if your into that. This hotel adds about 10-15 minutes to our drive but is totally worth it.
