They kept the property very clean. The motel was very clean and comfortable. The only thing that was not so good is their breakfast. It tasted like fake food. They could improve on that. It is not very good at all. Please improve the food.

Nothing fancy but very nice. The hotel was pretty well sold out and we never heard any noise. Rooms seemed to be very quiet. I did have trouble with the shower with the water staying consistent but my husband did not. Would have preferred a king size bed. Breakfast was nice to have real eggs and meat, biscuits and gravy. We will definitely stay here again.

The property was nice and well kept. The front desk personnel could have been more welcoming and friendly. I did not feel a welcoming spirit when we checked in. The amenities mentioned a buffet breakfast. Far from buffet. Gravy & biscuits, eggs (not real) and sausage. A smal variety of pastries and toast, yogurt, fruit.
