This is a dated property, but clean. As a matter of fact, when we arrived, they were cleaning the carpets. We stayed in a Pet room - no odours. Breakfast was standard fare. Close to a mall for food

The woman at the front desk was very nice. The room product is pretty nice. The mattress was awful. The room was fairly noisy. The free breakfast was about what you’d expect. It was fairly noisy with the rooms next-door. The location is quite convenient from the interstate.

Our stay was very good. I want to say I wish every desk person was as friendly as Nancy and every breakfast person was as nice as this one. I didn't catch her name. We have now stayed in 3 this trip so far and these folks are the best the last one in Alabama the breakfast woman was grumpy and shut the door to play on her cell phone and morning desk clerk was asleep with her head on the desk when we came down.

Call before booking to make certain amenities are.
The pool wasclosed without notice. The reservation was non refundable. The clerk asked me if it was going to be a problem. I replied yes. The outdoor pool was the reason we chose to stay here. I was also asked many questions that I am not used to being asked. Why were we here, do we have kids. A $100 fee was held on my card that may not be released for 5 days and she called to make sure the room was up to my standards. She knew we were disappointed about the pool.

Really more of a motel with outside steps to second floor. Rooms have been upgraded and are clean. AC struggled all night to cool the room. Staff was very nice and the price was quite reasonable.
