The staff was exemplary and so helpful. We will return just for the southern hospitality, but also the room was spacious and updated nicely. The bed was so comfortable, and there were no restrictions on the television channels. It was a great stay!

It's obviously an older style motel, that has been updated very well, especially the bathrooms. The rooms seemed quiet, the beds were comfortable and overall the complex is clean and well kept. Breakfast was good, not great, but better than most motels. We would stay again.
