This is a good place to stay. The staff is helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. There are several eating places nearby, including a Waffle House across the street. My only criticism is that the kitchen needs more dinnerware and utensils.

Bathroom shower curtain was torn and dirty. Window curtains were stained. Bedding did not fit the mattress. Coffee pot had burnt or black mold on the bottom making it unusable. Floors were sticky and not clean. Overall, we needed a place to stay so it was sufficient. I would not recommend unless everything else is booked and you have to get a place to stay.

If was a safe place to stay for the night. When we opened the refrigerator we saw there was food left in it. The walls and furniture look like they haven’t been cleaned in a while. The tub is not in good condition.
