Never again.
Pros:

The breakfast was below average. The beds were uncomfortable. We had a handicap?????? room with a shower chair that only fit in half way of the shower so therefore water in the floor. The room smelled musty as soon as we walked in. We had a reservation made for our trip on the way home, needless to say we cancelled it.

Cons:

Everything!

Pleased with the staff dissatisfied with the quality of the hotel and the cleanliness
Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were a nice size.

Cons:

Ac wasn’t working in the hall ways thankfully it was working in the rooms. The hotel rooms were fine but the moment you walked the hallways there was a strong dirty smell. There was carpet beetles on our bed and crickets in the room with the pool.

This was an excellent stay (once we found it.)
Pros:

Very nice bed, great shower (handicap room), Excellent breakfast! One of the best we've had.

Cons:

Very difficult to find the hotel. Once off the Interstate, go through the roundabout and turn quickly left at the light. The hotel did not seem to have a very visible sign/marquee. I had to stop at another hotel for directions. Go past the Popeyes restaurant to find it. The hotel itself was separate from other buildings. It somehow did not feel secure.
