6/10

The hotel was clean. It looks like some renovation had been made and others still either in progress or needed to be made. The staff was very friendly. Mattresses in the 2 rooms we had weren't great. Breakfast had eggs, sausage biscuits and gravy. You could make waffles or toast. There were a few cold cereal options.

Room was clean and quiet. Wished we would have had a few more towels and thicker, but we did just fine. I would definitely stay there again. I was disappointed that the clerk couldn't give me an update on my points. Just said, check your computer

Absolutely loved our stay here! The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spotless, with clean surfaces and everything well-dusted. The location is super convenient—just minutes away from Walmart, Target, fast food options, and the highway. The kids had a blast in the pool, which was well-maintained and clean. I would definitely stay here again!
