Clean room but no room servicing which was ok since we stayed only 2 nights but probably wouldn't do w a longer stay. Breakfast was basic but good. Coffee was good. Gym is not serviced. Its basic and has what you need but does not seem to get cleaned. Treadmill had a layer of dust and sticky. Easy check in. Easy check out. Location great. Right off I75. Walking distance to food, mall, and banks.

An older hotel that has been given an overhaul and a new lease on life. Very well done and clean, a nice courtyard with pool and fireplace for chilly nights. We only stayed 1 night but would definitely recommend. Room was clean and staff were kind and efficient.

Room was nice, roomy. Cookies served each night for an hour. Breakfast was sketchy. We arrived an hour before serving ended but they were out of several options. Coffee was horrid; just mildly flavored hot water. We went elsewhere for coffee.
