We were skeptical at first, being this is not a huge brand name hotel we are used to, but much cleaner than some of them for sure! I will tell you that the people in the area dont smile when you smile, but we were greeted by a gemtleman with a genuine smile who was kind, funny, and efficiently got us booked in. I was impressed how clean the lobby and room acrually were. The beds and pillows were super confmy, the room smelled clean, the water is nice and hot and the fridge kept my drinks very cold. The outdoor pool was well kept and relaxing. All of this for such a reasonable rate We will def come back to stay next time we are in town.

The hotel was nice only reason I gave a one star on the property conditions was because of the roaches we kept seeing and we had water coming through the floor from the a/c

Was booked in a smoking room - desk said they were full - maybe they were, maybe they weren’t no stopper for bathtub. Thin walls. Not the hotel’s fault but the Mexican food across the parking lot was mid at best

3stars. Room was adequate. Pillows were decent sized. Fine place to just sleep for the night. Breakfast was extremely limited. No protein whatsoever. Bread products, cereal & fruits. Coffee, juice. That’s it. 3 tables to sit at in a huge lobby with a ton of hotel rooms. People were standing at the breakfast counter eating because of the limited seating. Pool was open but we didn’t use it. It’s about 15 min from mammoth caves.

Overall it was a good stay. Pool was great. In room 169, there was a dead cockroach and the toilet doesn’t flush unless you continue to hold down the handle. Even then, it’s slow to go down if it does. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast is cereal, toast, bagels, and yogurt. To drink is coffee, orange juice and apple juice. There is Cracker Barrel and McDonalds across the street.
