Room was clean but musty smelling. Staff was nice, breakfast was good. I need to hire the person who took the pictures for this room. If they can make those rooms look that pretty they will make my goofy family portrait look amazing!

Hotel is a bit dated, but it's clean and convenient. The A/C in my room was rattly so that was sort of annoying at night. Breakfast was good. I love the 24 hour complimentary coffee, tea, juice, and water. The pool was super cold but it was clean. The pool furniture is in sad shape though.

Super friendly people that work here. Convenient location and with Cracker Barrel right in front, that was awesome. Breakfast is top notch. Nothing cheap, lots of options and hot. Everything tasted great. Room 202, needs the toilet behind it cleaned badly.
