Staff was amazing and very kind. But the property otherwise was not exceptional. Breakfast was lacking (no waffles, no pancakes, only sausage for meats?) accessibility is an issue- why is the soap locked up to the wall? It’s too far for wheelchair users to reach from across the bathroom sink. Most hotels have free soaps- it makes this hotel look cheap along with being hard for any wheelchair users or short people/children to reach. No microwave in the rooms or in the breakfast area. There are better hotels in fort payne for cheaper that do have these accommodations- and pools that are open year round. Heck, for around the same price you could rent a cabin with a full kitchen.

Minimal but enough!!

Nice room to stay in, very clean from the lobby to the room. Staff was super nice. Coffee 24 hr in the lobby and a small space for items to purchase. It is a minimalist type of hotel, so you have to change your mindset, but I love it. Perfect for short stay.

This is a pretty nice hotel. It is overall very clean and modern. Our shower could have used a better cleaning. Other than that we had a very comfortable stay. The included breakfast is great. Coffee (good coffee!) is available 24 hours. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. Far by one of the nicest stays on our vacation so far.
