Great location off the highway, extremely convenient location to stop for the night. Basic room and amenities, but clean and comfy with a decent breakfast for under $100 - It’s the second time I’ve stayed here and both stops were good. James, at check-in, could not have been nicer - he seemed authenticly friendly too. Only downside is the closest gas station is a few miles down a side road but that’s an FYI - certainly not the hotel’s fault.

I went down in the morning after breakfast was finished just to get coffee. The breakfast person was nice enough to offer and go back to get my daughter and I breakfast items. I will def go back to this place hopefully in the summer so that I can enjoy the pool which looks great.

This was our second stay at this hotel. We stayed for 3 nights on each visit! We were very comfortable in the room. It was very clean. We had some special requests and all of them were attended. The staff was great, always willing to help. The only thing to improve is the included breakfast.

This is a basic hotel with the necessary amenities if you are not planning to spend a lot of time at your hotel. We were there for parents weekend at nearby university. The room was attractive and very clean. I saw some reviews that noted otherwise, but our room was VERY clean. The price was reasonable. I also saw a review that said there were only sheer curtains. Not so. There are solid room darkening curtains off to the side which can be fully closed. The hotel was very busy that weekend, but our room was quiet. Breakfast included. My only disappointment was that the buffet style scrambled eggs seemed to be made from powdered eggs, but there was plenty of other choices, including nice fresh fruit salad and a waffle machine. Nice, new, large flat screen TV. The remote didn't work, but I am sure that would have been fixed if I had mentioned it.

Whelp. This hotel was not up to the usual Marriott standards. When I arrived to check in, I gave my name to the desk clerk, and he said "Oh. You checked in online, right? Here." And hands me my key card packet. That's it. No "enjoy your stay" or recognition of my Marriott status or description of the hotel and amenities. Okayyyyyy. So, on to the rickety elevator that many other reviews mentioned. (Needless to say, I took the stairs the rest of my visit.) As for the room itself, a little dated, but it did have a fridge, which is nice, and seemed clean enough. (Though, my shampoo and conditioner bottles were half empty, so I'm going to hope the rest of the room cleaning was more thorough.) Fast forward to midnight, when I'm trying to sleep, and I could hear every....single.....word of the conversation in the room next to mine, because the walls were so thin. (Thanks, bro, sure I'll have another beer.) Free breakfast the next morning was pretty unimpressive, with watery powdered eggs. Checking out, the clerk asked how my stay was, and I said not the best. "Oh. Here you go." Hands me my receipt. Wow. The customer service here is overwhelming!! A hard pass on this hotel next time I'm in town.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us BuenaGirl. I want to apologize for the service you received while staying with us. It's no excuse but the Associate who checked you in and checked you out is new and still under training. I do thank you for letting us know, as I will use your comments as training tool. Again my apologies, I do hope you see this as an exception rather than a rule. We hope to see you again whenever travels brings you back in our area.
