Nice location and I will stay again.
Pros:

I travel for work to the area and usually stay here. It’s clean and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and the work area is nice.

Cons:

The breakfast is always the same. And the scrambled eggs are way too crumbly. But, still better than no breakfast at all 😊

Overall, this is a very good place to stay.
Pros:

It is a very nice hotel. We stayed in a room with a jetted tub that worked and an extra room with a sofa bed. Breakfast was decent and staff were very nice. We stayed here as it one of the few hotels available within driving distance of Turnip Rock which was 22 minutes away. There is a working pool, jacuzzi, gym and breakfast in the morning. Walmart is next door. We loved visiting the Gathering Place which is an affordable restaurant with good food.

Cons:

It was very pricy in July. The breakfast options could include labels whether they contain dairy or not and have oat milk or almond milk options.

I will not stay again.
Pros:

when I booked the room with this company I was expecting a discount. When I got to the hotel they would not provide the discount be cause I booked the room from Bookings

Cons:

The staff not speaking clear english. No bars of soap in the room just those cheap 70's pump body wash dispensers that is cheap cheap cheap. Just a hotel on the edge of a second world decline.

It was decent, the location was central & I liked that there was a hot tub & breakfast. (See pics).
Pros:

Super friendly staff, huge room & nice bathroom. I liked how late the pool & hot tub were open!

Cons:

The pool and hot tub were dirty; floating bugs, lots of hair, and tobacco patch left on the floor by the hot tub. When I woke up and saw my pillow I was grossed out it had like mold or something on it right where my face & mouth were all night
