Checkin was easy. Room was clean. Mattress was too soft for my liking. Water pressure was strong and water got hot. The towels were large and fluffy. It was advertised online that breakfast was included, but there was nothing but coffee, apple juice and muffins. A sign said they were transitioning from standard breakfast to light breakfast due to unforseen circumstances. The clerk who helped us at check in was friendly and helpful.

We’ve stayed here several times and like the location. They were having to upgrade electrical so we’re without power for several hours. Did help us get access to an empty room though so we could get ready for a big event.

Kevin and his staff were awesome room was great. AC was cold and quiet breakfast biscuits, and gravy all morning long get you started for your day. Bank Across The Street food to the north food to the south easy access. It’s a small town, but if you’re all about it, you will enjoy it.!!!

We checked in very late and appreciated that they had an easy and convenient late check in procedure. I enjoyed the coffee and continental breakfast each morning. The only negatives were the power going out several times and the door was pretty squeaky, I was trying to sneak out in the mornings while my sister was still sleeping and it woke her up each time. All in all was a great stay and will stay there again in the future.

Decent place to stay. Not the most luxurious but bed was ok, room and bathroom were clean. That’s all I was hoping for. Didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast as me and the wife slept. Too tired. I’d stay again.

Just icky. Bed was comfy enough, but carpet felt nasty, dust in the corners, hairs in the shower, and dirty cracked caulking all over the bathroom. Thankful I was only there one night, and that the bed felt clean and comfy. Breakfast was also very sparse. Cereal, oatmeal packets, honey buns, dry biscuits with suspicious looking gravy and some fruit.
