overall convenient. Have stayed there in the past, and will continue to Etsy there due to room sizes
Pros:

Room was good size and clean. Location was excellent for my purpose.

Cons:

A Chair in the lobby had a torn seat cover exposing the entire length of the side of the cushion. Not only tacky, but shows lack of detail by manager.

Terrible
Pros:

Routed thru Booking.com; not motel. Asked for early arrival time for 2 rooms. One was not ready until 4:30. Asked for 2 suites $550 total and they were not suites. No breakfast included. Windows and pool filthy. Would never recommend!

Cold shower.

The experience was not worth what I paid. I was very disappointed and will not recommend it.
Pros:

Location right off of I-75 was very convenient. The room configuration (suite) was very good.

Cons:

The facility needs a complete facelift, it is old and dated. The furniture was badly chipped and and looked like it belonged at a flea market. The sofa bed was obviously torn and needed to be replaced. The kitchen had no cup, forks, small plates. Your competitors all supply these small items. Unfortunately, after complaining we were shown other rooms that were as bad. I was embarrassed in bringing my wife there.
