The hallway and hotel lobby had an odor. Also, went to get breakfast 5 minutes before they closed and we were told they were closing in 5 minutes and they didn’t have anything. Why have a closing time if you close prior to the closing time?

Room was clean and comfortable, just a little old and no stairs. Front desk was very nice. Breakfast was decent. I think our neighbors were smoking pot in their room so we had to deal with that smell. I contacted the front desk and she said she would investigate. The smell did get better after that so I don’t know if it was because she confronted them or my husband putting the towel under the door.

The rooms were clean and nice. Our hallway did have an odd smell but I think it was because the AC might not have been working in the hall. Our room however was just great, a great breakfast with eggs, sausage, potatoes, rolls, cereal etc, very nice. We didn’t have the time to explore the area so not sure what was around…

Don’t Waste Your Money

They had finished mopping it right before we got there…five hours after check in time. And even though they had clearly mopped, there was mystery hair in the tub and on the bathroom floor. The blankets are so starchy, the water here turned my sons’ skin red even though it was lukewarm at best, paper thin walls, smells like sweat or cigarettes or both in the hallway. Worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Never again. Receptionist was really sweet.

It was a great location and close to the places we wanted to see on our trip like The Allman Brothers Band’s Big House Museum and Capricorn Studios. It was safe and quiet and the hot breakfast of link sausages, gravy, scrambled eggs, cereal, toast, yogurt and fruit were a good variety that I don’t often see at the “free breakfast” hotels.
