Disliked: Staff & service
Property is old but had some renovations. Bed was hard, not easy to sleep on. Check in was terrible. Staff was inexperienced, had to call someone for help, wanted to take a photo or leave my credit card coz he doesn’t know how to process. The worst is charging $20/nite for my little dog while the advertisement says clearly $20. This is false advertisement. I told them that but it was too late at nite to argue & I am so tired from my long drive.

Checking in.

HOTEL could not find my reservation until they looked up my Credit card number. They were full and almost turned me away at 10 pm with no room. Luckily the staff tried the credit card number and that pulled up the registration. Everything turned out great. and We have no hard feelings over this. Just hope my experience can help sharpen the system to better help other travelers.

Disliked: Amenities
The AC worked wonders and kept the room nice and cool. The staff was very good, super nice, and extremely helpful. The room and hotel in general was very clean, but the building itself is not in great shape. The continental breakfast was disappointing even by cheap hotel standards. The Biscuits and gravy were good, but they served it everyday which was kind of a bummer, and the waffle iron left the waffles under cooked, so the options diminished each morning. The room also had some issues which created some minor inconvenience, and the pool was closed for cleaning for half of our stay, which was not great.

More like a motel

The price was absolutely not reflective of the property I wouldn't spend more than $80 Sadly the halls smelled like cigarettes and pot. The pool looks nothing like the photos, the in room TV is like dorm small and the bathroom was pretty dirty.
