Like that they are finally updating the rooms , over night staff was rude and not attentive, breakfast was horrible, all pastries were hard and dry , breakfast sausage was hard and old , bacon broke into glass pieces , potatoes were cold and hard , then they had the nerve to charge me for an extra person, just because my sister that didn’t eat had a taste of my daughters biscuits and gravy . Yea I was highly disappointed with the $46 I spent on breakfast.

We keep coming back

We stay here when visiting family. We used to stay at a nearby property until they reduced their amenities and switched to this one. We haven't been disappointed. The property is in good condition with a nice pool. The staff has always been helpful. We'll keep coming back.

Nice stay but need to address some details

We were in town for shopping and visiting friends. Staff was courteous and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Rooms need a little TLC. We left our first room because it wreaked of cigar smoke. We moved out of our second room when the heating unit would not work properly. Room #3 was comfortable and as I said staff was apologetic and helpful, but items like broken window shade, broken towel rack and loose floor tile need to be addressed. We will stay here again.
