The property was very nice. We were traveling from another city and came by the property 1hour forty-five minutes early and asked for early check-in. We were advised it would be $50 per room to check in early. I am 78 years old and have traveled extensively during my life. Never, not once, was I quoted an early check-in charge. We did not pay the charge but elected to find something to do after a 10 hour drive. I was very unhappy over this experience. Because of this policy, I would not tay there again.

What a delightful surprise! They've turned an older chain motel into the most adorable bourbon themed inn! The artwork is lovely, the room clean and cute, bed comfy. The bourbon bar is fun. Great mexican food and other restaurants walking distance. The indoor pickleball and cornhole is a fun idea. Highly recommend. Only neg is no elevator so ask for ground level if stairs are an issue.

Great staff. VERY CLEAN. Only complaints…I got a suite and they are only on the second floor. I wouldn’t normally care, except there is no elevator and I didn’t know, so I wasn’t prepared to haul everything up the stairs. I would have packed differently if I knew.

When I arrive the receptionist wanted me to pay for another night said I only paid for 1 I told her I paid for both nights in advance. Then she wanted my card I used I gave it to her she said it wasn’t right but it was she a different person card on my file. I can not believe this place has NO ELEVATOR!!! So what is the handicap suppose to do if they request to not be on the 1st floor? My microwave didn’t work the guy told me to come down and used theirs I refused! He brought up an extension cord! Ridiculous! Then the rooms are so thin you hear everything that’s going outside your room! HORRIBLE HOTEL!!! Do Not Go Here!!
