Loved it was right across from the fairgrounds. Staff was short-handed, so was making it hard on the rest. Check-in took awhile, but otherwise the stay was pleasant.

Great for the price

Good stay. Breakfast wasn't all that (biscuits, gravy, waffles etc). Room was on the smaller side but great for one night. Comfy bed, clean bathroom. Downside toilet wouldn't flush in the am (slow flow) and elevator smelled like pee. Overall I'd stay again.

Great room, great price

We stayed here two nights in May, 2009. The room, pool and breakfast were on a par with more expensive properties. We were pleasantly surprised and will stay here again.

Great Place, Great Price

We stayed here on our way down to Florida, with our 4 younger kids. A really nice place, great people, clean. The pool was nice and we were the only ones using it for most of the time. It had the nice new linens, not the old bed spreads. I really enjoyed it and would definitely stay there again. Don't let the fairgrounds thing throw you off. It was a great place to stay at a great price!!
