Zee gave a lovely Southern welcome and provided an exceptional breakfast
Pros:

Very friendly welcome and good orientation advice from the manager when we checked in . Breakfast on the first 2 days was average- fairly limited selection and the food area was dirty - surfaces need wiping etc. on the third morning it was totally different- much better range of food - service area was very clean and we were given a lovely Southern welcome from Zee who was serving breakfast. She was friendly to all guests , cleared tables and was very hard working. She is a really good credit to the hotel and I hope she receives recognition for her hard work and work ethic

The breakfast options were better than I expected. Along with the usual cereal and yogurt, there were some hot foods like eggs and turkey sausage and scalloped potatoes.

The staff were especially nice and friendly.

The bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

No complaints.

DO NOT STAY!
Pros:

The ONLY reason this property has a high rating is due to the unprofessional behavior of the breakfast attendant standing over folks in the breakfast area with the QR code to give her a good review on TripAdvisor and not leaving them alone until they either do or slip away from her. This property is severely run down and not safe. Photo attached is the lock mechanism that was "replaced" on almost all doors of my group's stay and the room doors do not shut properly. Lobby security is non existent with non guests coming in and out for water.

Pros:

I stayed in this hotel as part of a 60+ person organization. There are of lot of great comments that can be made about the stay. The bathroom utilities were satisfactory, with good water pressure and provided soaps. The room felt secure and there was no sketchy activity inside or outside the hotel, as far as I observed. The continental breakfast was delightful, especially the omelettes. This location feels a little less "top tier" than more expensive stays, but the atmosphere still fits the vibe of comfortable lodging.

Ok hotel, beware of breakfast solicitor
Pros:

Hotel was ok. It was definitely older but pretty clean. There were lots of lady bugs on the walls in the room though. The breakfast food was decent but there was this woman working the breakfast area named Zee who actually scolded us for leaving a condiment bottle on the table. I also witnessed her slam down all of the lids on the food buffet after an older gentleman left them up. She yelled at a group of young girls for leaving crumbs on a table. And she went around the whole room passing out sheets of paper with a QR code on it and asking people to give her a good review on this site!! Which is why this average hotel has so many reviews…I also saw her on the lobby computer printing out all of the reviews,
