There was remodeling going on so the lobby area was a bit dusty. The room was a little small, but comfortable. The breakfast was better than most. Great coffee!

Construction Zone

I have stayed in this hotel several times in past years and generally have liked its comfort and its convenience for travelers on I-85 and I-65. However, the place was a construction zone when I arrived for my stay this year; there was drilling, hammering and other construction noise in the lobby at the time of my arrival. To go to the buffet breakfast the next morning, which is adjacent to the lobby, you had to evade yellow tape and experience unsure footing at the room entrance. The woman who staffs the breakfast area is very helpful, however, and offered a helping hand to me as I stumbled my way in. On the plus side, the first floor room that I stayed in had been refurbished with all new furnishings including a comfortable new bed. However, there was more noise in the hallway at night from other people than I have experienced in the past. Parking at this relatively small hotel is limited and cramped -- no big parking lot with lots of empty spaces. I also would not feel safe venturing too far from the hotel at night. Although there was a nice restaurant within walking distance last year, that has closed so I had to drive a couple of miles this year to an Olive Garden (suggested by staff) where I had a nice dinner. I have given this hotel a higher rating than my comments would indicate because I'm sure it will be much improved when construction ends. I have stayed here before when it was a good overnight choice and I'm sure it will be again.

Bad customer service

I never got to stay at this hotel. I drove from 4 hours out of town only for the rude clerk to tell me the hotel had given my room to another customer. She claimed they called me 3 times but I never got one call. She said so rude there's nothing else to tell you but we are full for the night your just going to have to go somewhere else. The fact that they gave my room to someone else and acted like she didnt care wasn't really messed up. MY DAUGHTER AND I HAD NO WHERE TO STAY AND IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT. SO WE HAD TO SLEEP IN THE CAR.

Staff was very helpful when there were very loud people next door and they wouldn’t keep their voices down even when warned by the hotel. We were eventually able to move rooms which was very nice. The hotel is being renovated, so there were minor inconveniences, but overall a good stay.

Hotel was fine. It’s in the cut and was safe, but the gas stations nearby at night can be a little sketchy. There’s an armed security guard in the gas station, so it made me wonder about the area, but I didn’t face any issues.

Small and no frills

Pool was closed and it didn’t tell me when I booked. Area a bit sketchy, lots of renovations and the room was very small.
