Room was nice ans very basic. The hotel was situated right off of 75 south, very convenient to get to. The 3rd shift front desk person needed to not look incovienced or disturbed wheb asked a question. She needs to get that nasty look off her face and stay off of Facebook while she waits on guests

Dale

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall the stay was not bad. Breakfast was good. There was a musty, moldy smell in the hallways and in our room. There were moisture absorbing boxes in the hallways and in the closet of our room, so they are aware of a moisture problem. I have allergies to molds and it gave me problems. I should have checked out after the first night, but we stayed for two. When we came back two days later, we stayed at another hotel.
