Quiet clean property at a great price close to I-264. Plenty of price friendly restaurants nearby. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Robbie at the front desk for outstanding customer service. Will definitely stay again. Only downside no restaurant or bar on-site. Breakfast was good but rotating items more often would be a plus.
