Booked this hotel for one night prior to our cruise. It’s a small hotel. Room was clean and staff were friendly. Close to restaurants and a strip mall. There is a Waffle House next door and a gas station across the street.
It is located close to everything which was very convenient.The staff was very nice.The rooms and the hotel were very clean.The only thing that could use some work is the pool.
We only stayed here as it was a quick drive to the airport and it was convenient, we didn’t spend much time other than sleeping however, the room was very well kept and clean, and the staff was friendly.
Very comfortable beds. Good, hot shower. Breakfast includes protein. Staff friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property is well located, but feels a bit old and there are some things that require maintenance or need to be replaced. Breakfast was simple but fine, which is enough on this category. The floor mat/carpets on the room were wet and the fire alarm started beeping during the night, while we were laying on the bed. We asked for a room change, and we got a better room. Staff was kind and helpful.
The staff were really super nice, the room was okay. There was something wet on the floor with some sort of rubber near it, maybe when they were cleaning it?
