Nice humble hotel with delicious egg, bacon and waffle breakfast (grits/cereal/). Room and bathroom was small, but quiet, dark and comfortable. Desk and pull-out coffee maker were nice. Luggage rack. Closet. Climate control not central heat/air, nice white noise when I turned it on. Slept well. Quiet refrigerator in the room. Roomy gym.
