Beware! The positive reviews on Expedia are not accurate and are quite misleading. The hotel is dated and dirty. Our room had a horrible smell that was so strong we were unable to sleep. The sheets on one of the beds were stained. The sink did not drain when water was turned on. The shower was moldy. Carpet was stained and threadbare in parts. We tried to call front desk about something only to discover that the phone is a decorative prop and did not actually connect to a phone line! Staff was very pleasant but we relied on reviews in choosing this hotel and feel completely misled about this property.

Older property but very clean and nice staff. The only issue we had was the staff expecting tips to make waffles at the “self serve” waffle station during breakfast.

The hotel was very well kept. Our King room was large and very clean. The hotel was about a 20 min car ride with Auburn game traffic. The hotel was a very good for the price. I would definitely book this hotel when checking out a Auburn game.

Shortly after checking in and entering our room, a small cockroach scurried across the bottom of the frame around the bathroom mirror. The room also had a faint urine smell on one side of the bed with the nightstand askew like an attempt to clean the smell was made. The power went out randomly around 330am and stayed off for about a half hour. The breakfast consisted of premade frozen then microwaved egg patties and other equally as gross looking frozen foods. All accompanied by a very loud and boisterous “waitress” fishing for tips and trying to “help” where help wasn’t needed. If we wanted a loud breakfast with a waitress we’d go to a restaurant. Not what you’re hoping to experience waking up first thing after a terrible night of sleep when you just want to have your coffee in quiet. The checkout staff didn’t even bother asking how the stay was upon check out or I would have informed them of the above listed issues then. Overall, I would not recommend. I’ll pay the extra $20 next time and stay at the La Quinta or Holiday Inn.

When we arrived to the hotel, the front desk employee was very friendly and helpful, and as we asked for a vending machine to get bottled water, he offered us bottled water. The problems started when we enter our bedroom. It was musty and immediately I developed allergies. We tried turning on the TV and it wouldn't work. We tried the internet, and it wasn't working. We went to the front office, and the new employee told us that internet had just gone down and he called their IT person and would be fixed within an hour (it was around 9:30 pm). He came to our bedroom to check the TV, and he was unable to make it work. He said there was nothing he could do because there were no more tv's available as they were full, and that this was a new tv (unfortunately, it was not, you could see the dust caked in the back of the tv). He took my husband's ipad for about 45 minutes to try to get internet on it. In the mean time, I went to use the bathroom, and there was hair (from shaving) in the bathtub and all over the floor behind the door. Needless to say, I went to the front office, again, to tell him the bathroom was dirty, and to collect our ipad, which he was unable to provide internet for. He filmed the hair and apologized and said he was going to let the manager know. The next morning, when we went to breakfast, the first bite to my egg, it had a hair on it. Not a good experience. Never heard from a manager.
