10/10 Exceptional

Very impressive
I remember this hotel from 40 yrs ago! They did a great upgrade to make it charming and more up to date. I love the tile walls in the bath tub, the "wipe your paws" rugs at the pet friendly rooms and the little pillow with a dog on it. It made us feel welcomed and not feeling like we were given the worst room because we had a pet. The outdoor sitting areas were quaint and inviting. Only 2 negatives were the sirens (being close to a fire station I think) and the continental breakfast was behind the service desk.

8/10 Very Good

Very clean and neat, friendly service. Very good motel to stay in, very good experience. I was very disappointed at the breakfast. I was expecting a real breakfast and I had to choose if I wanted a bagel or a bagel, if I didn’t like bagels then I could have bagels with bagels or go get BREAKFAST at the Waffle House. If you want a good hotel without breakfast this is a good one but if you want a motel with breakfast, you’re going to be very disappointed.

Miserable weekend
The hotel entrance was difficult to get in and out of. The room was hot and stuffy. The air conditioner difficult work properly and the beds were very uncomfortable.

A home away from Home!
Edwina at the front desk made my stay so wonderful. She was so helpful and just very, very kind. She even offered to pray with me since I was in town to see a relative in the hospital. I highly recommend this lovely, homey hotel.
