Great place to stay for the price. Bed was super comfy but we did go purchase a comforter from dollar general bc the ones they have are pretty old and not great but the sheets were very clean and we slept great. Mary at the front desk was so sweet and gave amazing customer service. The rooms could use a deep clean but overall I would stay here again for the price and hospitality.

The room was great for the price. Everything was clean and eye appealing. Plenty of space for 4 people to sleep in room. A/C kept room nice and cold. I didn’t like that I couldn’t get a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning, and the shower drain smelt like rotten eggs, but otherwise a great place to stay

An older, family-owned property that's been fixed up. Small, tight bathroom but clean. Bed was clean and comfortable. TV had lots of channels including nearly all the sports channels (ESPN family, SEC, ACC, etc.) A good value.

Everyone here was so lovely. They are family owned and run, but it doesn’t feel like a camera is on you 24/7. Check in was nice and easy and even let us come a few hours early since a room was ready for us. Will be back!!

The layout of the property is wonderful. Very easy parking and a super nice green open space in the middle. Along with a very enjoyable pool and jacuzzi. Well maintained property, near a bird sanctuary, also. Many birds flying overhead. It adds to the ambiance The room space is a little cramped, but in good shape. And a superb air conditioning unit, which is well appreciated. The staff is friendly and responsive.
