Night staff received complaints about dog barking. The night staff was too aggressive in handling the situation. I’m sorry but dogs bark. She acted as if she was going to drag me out of the breakfast room. I was also a paying customer. I feel like once she saw I was black, she treated me rudely and disgustingly. Don’t start an argument with your guess. Also, don’t put non dog owners with dog owners. They pretty much kicked me out. Lied that the dog was barking all night which she didn’t. Nice hotel, I didn’t enjoy my stay unfortunately.

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?

It was a dated hotel with really friendly staff. There were some flaws such as the air conditioning needs updating and the beds could be a bit more comfortable but the breakfast was really good and it was clean enough for comfort. No ick. No bugs. It was fine for the night We visited the Ocmulgee Mounds while in town.
