It was an overnight stay, but the service was nice and the hotel was quiet. It is a little older and some things in the room were either missing, hanging off, or slightly dirty. The bed wasn’t the best, but again, it was a one night stay. There was breakfast and hot coffee in the lobby. Also, they have a pool. For what it was and the cost, it’s okay

There is a musty smell. Cob webs in the lamps by the bed. Not all outlets work. I use medical equipment at night. The unit would not stay on but about 1-1 1/2 hrs at a time. I had to get up and try to find another outlet to use the equipment. I got no sleep because of this. Tried to make coffee in our room and the same thing happened. Started making coffee using their coffee machine they provide but it quit midway through. The room would not cool down because the air conditioning unit would not stay on long enough. It kicked on and off all night but never cooled the room.

We just needed a clean, comfortable place to sleep on our 13 hour trip. This was perfect! Room was clean. Very cool AC. Breakfast was okay. Typical hotel breakfast, but it did the trick to get us started. Easy location right off the highway. Only issue was check in…desk employee had trouble finding our reservation but he was very patient and kept looking and found it. Didn’t take long so this is not a complaint…just FYI…booked through Expedia. Just keep all information with confirmations. Great stay. Would recommend!

Filthy

Staff was friendly, but the room was FILTHY and wasn’t cleaned before or between our stay. After my husband showered, he had to clean his feet because the tile was disgusting. The pool was also super cloudy, so we didn’t even bother. The door handle was broken like it was broken into. While it was cheap and we weren’t expecting perfection, we were hoping it was at least CLEAN.

We stopped here on our way to Destin FL, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and had everything you need for a quick stay. It is a "motel" style place. But was able the park right in front of our room on the first floor. Would recommend for the price!

Loved the Breakfast!

The warm breakfast of sausage patties, scrambled eggs biscuits and gravy was a treat! Waffles, baked goods and yogurt, rounded out the offerings. I loved that there were shampoo, conditioner and lotion dispensers in the bathroom. I appreciated that there was no Styrofoam in the dining area. Very green! I’d recommend having recycle bins in the guest rooms. The mattress was very comfortable, and the property was quiet all helpful for a good night sleep!

False advertisement!!

Absolutely horrible customer service!! Booked this hotel after a 7 hour trip only because it advertised a hot tub in the room that we paid extra for compared to a regular room! Go to check in and we’re told that there are no hot tubs in any of the rooms! The manager nor the owner was answering the phone for the guy at the front desk. I contacted hotels.com customer service and was told the hotel is unwilling to do anything because they had a no refund policy for any reason! Terrible experience as the only reason we chose this location is because of the hot tub they didn’t have!
