Consider clean-up of the parking lot!!! A shattered door needs immediate attention!!! Ensuring that entry points are secure would enhance safety for guests. Improve housekeeping consistency for better guest comfort!!!

Comfortable and Convenient Stay with Great Service!
I enjoyed a seamless stay thanks to the friendly staff and comfy queen room. The complimentary breakfast options were delightful, especially the fresh fruit. Be sure to check out nearby eateries for local flavors. Make room requests in advance for the best experience.

disappointed stay, but good location
The location was convenient for quick access to major routes, making it easy for us to explore the area. The queen room we stayed in had a decent size, offering enough space for our luggage. The bedding felt clean, which was a relief after a long drive. Plus, we appreciated the proximity to good dining options, similar to those mentioned in other reviews.
However, overall it didn’t meet my expectations, as several amenities were lacking.

Had a decent stay with a comfy bed and updated room, but the musty smell in the hallways was a bit off-putting. Overall, not bad!

Perfect for Solo Travelers
The hotel had been remodeled from I stayed before! Having free breakfast was nice and it was better than some smaller hotels breakfasts. I remember enjoying the clean and quiet room after a long day, it really did wonders-like waking up fresh for another full day of work.
It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable for what I got.

I stayed in a Queen Room Non-Smoking for one night and was quite disappointed with the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the facility. The lobby seemed recently updated, but the room had a noticeable unpleasant odor and the bathroom was quite cramped, reflecting a lack of maintenance. It’s a shame because the location was convenient and the staff were friendly enough.

The location is a gem—just a hop from the interstate and close to some down-home eats like Castaways Bar & Grill. Our queen room was a real winner, comfy and cozy, making it perfect for crashing after a day of exploring.
But let’s keep it real, the humidity was no joke, leaving everything feeling damp. And after dark, the vibe turned a bit sketchy around the hotel, but we managed to have fun nonetheless.
