"Check was quick and easy. Staff was very friendly. Marta the breakfast attendant was sweet and kept the food well stocked. We felt safe in the hotel and parking lot but near by were some hotels that driving by was a little sketchy.
This is right off of 75s with Cracker Barrel, Starbucks, Huddle House and a gas station within walking distance if you wanted to do so. "
