Decent for a place to stay over the weekend, but could use a little improvement in some places.
Pros:

Check-in and check-out was quick. Bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked pretty well.

Cons:

Free breakfast was a bit disappointing. I thought there'd be a bit more variety, but there was only waffles, bread for toasting, butter, and coffee. Not even any water, juice, or milk.

I don't really understand the point of there being a coffee machine in my room when there isn't any complementary coffee to go with it.

The top door latch/lock was missing a screw. It held and worked fairly okay, but was very wobbly.

Floors didn't seem like they were mopped. Before I got into bed, I noticed that the bottoms of my socks were very dirty after walking around the room.

Griffin Flea Bag Motel
Pros:

The staff had excellent customer service and was helpful. The location was amazing and centrally located to Walmart restaurants and other attractions.This was my first time in Georgia and I went there for my family reunion. My oxygen dependent aunt was very afraid to go sleep or get out of the car

Cons:

It was a motel full of homeless and people with questionable criminal backgrounds. The room was disgusting and dirty with dead bugs were on the dirty sheets mold cobb webs, roaches, and a dead rat underneath the bed. I was itching and the next day I had bite marks throughout my body. I want a refund and I reported this to the local health department
