Secluded hotel with great property for pets. We took our dog with us and were so impressed with the grounds and the room to walk around. The landscaping was meticulously maintained. The buffet breakfast with omelet and waffle station was excellent, and thry had every other breakfast option available as well. The room was clean, if a little run down, and the bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

As described, it was a good stay. What I have to say is that it was the best breakfast I have eaten at why USA hotel. They had a person making fresh omelettes 100 points for that. Amazing adission. I needed extra towels, and after I called housekeeping, 2 mins later I had warm clean towels. 5+

From the minute, I checked in there were issues, including someone suspiciously working behind the counter on the credit card machine. (I’m still disputing a double charge for my three day stay!) one of the vanity lights continually flickered, & the carpeting, tile grout and door jams/everything was in desperate need of a deep cleaning or renovation. It’s the first hotel I’ve ever stayed at where a Scammer called in directly to my room trying to get my personal information and saying they were the front desk. There were workers lurking in the hallways and on cell phones as you walked down corridors and the same front desk guy working on the credit card machine suspiciously working with two other men in one of the rooms. I’m not sure what exactly was going on there, but it was all very suspicious. I’ve also never had to dispute a double charge on a hotel room until now. I even mentioned the pending charge on my credit card when I checked out and was basically dismissed and told that the charge would fall off. Well, it didn’t and my bill is due and is charging me twice. I will probably never stay at a Best Western again.

The property and amenities were nice, however the pool was only open one day out of the 3 we were there. Our sink was stopped up and our room did not get cleaned nor were we given clean towels. The highlight of the stay for me was the made to order omelets for breakfast.

What a surprise this hotel was. We normally stay at the Hamptons off of I-75 but at $175 a night forced us to look elsewhere and luckily this popped up. Cheaper and better, and one of the better breakfasts included if your into that. This hotel adds about 10-15 minutes to our drive but is totally worth it.
