The young lady who checked me in was fabulous and had a great sense of humor. Very clean building overall and breakfast was ok. Didn’t like staff coming to ask what time I was checking out

Check in was easy, the staff was helpful and courteous, the room was quiet and breakfast was better than at most hotels.
However, the bathtub had quite a few dark hairs in it (my hair is white, so they weren't mine) and there weren't any tissues.
We enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfy, staff was friendly and it was extremely pet friendly. Smoke free but lots of marijuana smoking going on as we constantly smelled it on our floor and seeping into room. Not the hotels fault-just inconsiderate people. Breakfast was really good.
Everything was great the area is very nice and comfortable close to the interstate, food,gas station, etc this is a must stop good 💯 to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
W had a great stay. We especially liked the fact that they allowed dogs. The staff was fantastic! Only real issue was that the pillows and beds didn't seem fresh.

Decent Stay - Over priced.
We had to find a hotel last minute when we got tired driving home from the beach. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good. However the pillows were TERRIBLE on the beds, and are flat as a rock. The beds are hard, and we did not sleep well. Someone started smoking in their room somewhere around us the next morning and we hurried out so we didn't smell the smoke.
From the moment of our check-in, met at the counter by a real person though it was late in the evening, until we left the hotel, all staff and conditions were impressive.
