Ok place if you if don't have anywhere else to go, but it is rather dark and dingy for a hotel.
Pros:

Location was good, easy to find and not far off the highway.

Cons:

When I first saw the place I thought it was closed due to the condition of the outside. The rooms were a little better than the outside but not what I was used to at that price.

Pros:

Location and the in room coffee pot.

Cons:

It was sketchy as heck. I was hoping leatherface didn't show up in the middle of the night. Lawn hadn't been cut in weeks from the looks of it.

This is a wonderful place to stay for business or leisure. I’ll definitely return.
Pros:

The room was clean and close to everything I needed. And the bed was incredibly comfortable to sleep in. And the air conditioner worked amazing. There’s so many good things that I can’t list them all. The most important was how friendly staff and management are.

Cons:

I can’t think of a single thing I didn’t like.

Cons:

One way in and out. And late at night we were locked in. Black mold was in our room near the window and carpet was wet in places near the outside wall. No sprinkler system in the rooms.

Would stay again next time we are that way. Very kind owners
Pros:

It was a nice and clean place to stay. Good value, room was clean, king mattress was comfortable. We slept ok but needed wifi to sleep well.
Owner was super nice and friendly. Mary is her name.

Cons:

A few things stood out to us. Place is a little outdated but nothing that needs immediate attention. Curtains let in to much light even at night. The toilet paper roll holder was broken or off the wall but the pieces were on the back of the toilet.
The WiFi stopped working at around 11pm and didn’t start working till 6am which was inconvenient for my husband and I as we listen to music while we sleep.

Was ok
Cons:

Looked abandoned. Outside doors need much work. Looks like people are living in the lobby. Had to pay extra for my dogs. She was afraid my dogs would wreck her carpet. My dogs were the least of this establishments problem. No one cleaned for all the time we were there. Always had to go and get fresh towels. Stay was ok.
