I was very upset that there was no late check in. They wouldn’t let me cancel this booking within 5 minutes of booking when I called about late arrivals on the weekend not being available. We had to rush to get here on time driving from GA. Room appearance was ok. My blanket on the bed smelled like it wasn’t washed. One pillow per person. No coffee cups. I won’t be staying there again. The only good thing was the person that checked us in was a sweetheart.
Don’t let the exterior fool you. The remodeled rooms are better than some higher priced hotels. It was clean and quiet. Staff is super friendly. Ideal location, right off of I75 with gas stations and restaurants within walking distance. Good toilet paper, not the super thin kind that most places use.
Cons:
Bed — If you have neck & lower back issues the plushness of the pillows and mattress may leave you achey. If you love sleeping on clouds then the bed and pillows are ideal for you.
Bathroom— I wish the delta shower head had adjustable pressure settings. The pressure is good but because of my aches & pain I prefer a little more pressure than what is put out. Also, there is no place to set your shower stuff on so you end up with your body wash and other items on the shower floor. So I recommend traveling with a shower caddy.
