We had a good experience! Property is in decent shape with some maintenance underway on the 4th floor. Clean rooms and nice staff. For the weekly rate, it was worth the cost, but can’t attest to weekend rates. We would come back again if in the area.

Interstate traffic ran along the side of this property & was heard all night long. The indoor swimming pool was in poor condition with chipped cement, no towels, too cold to be enjoyed. The first floor restroom was filthy & without toilet paper the 2 days we were there. Breakfast dining area had no coffee most of the time. We will not stay here again.

The staff was very nice and we were able to get a roll away bed at no extra cost which was nice. The breakfast was a hot breakfast with biscuit and gravy, sausages, eggs, and of course a waffle maker.
