Great stay!

Good service.

The gentleman working when I booked called me to see if I had any special needs. He worked great with me to satisfy. I could of had a nicer room upstairs, but I am handicapped and can't climb stairs. He got me a room downstairs which was rough looking, but I told him it's fine. We only needed a place to lay down.

Great price but dated

The staff was very accommodating. They helped us out when some in our party arrived early. VERY pleasant at the front desk! The hotel is somewhat dated. Really could use a renovation. Old doors and worn fixtures look dirty, but it was clean. There was an old, stagnant smell in the room. Oddly, the clock in the room is set to run 30 minutes fast. Housekeeping was coming through the door at 9:30 when check out is at 10:00. I wondered if that was intentional. We felt safe and the price was right for us at the time.

Needs help

The room was clean, but very much in need of care. There were cracks in the wall, vanity mirror was shattered, toilet tank top was cracked through, and the water would not shut off in the tub. Son went down to the ice machine to get ice and there was a homeless person camped out in there. The front desk called the police to remove them but by then we were done.

Me and my friend booked a room to stay here for rock the south, we checked in late thursday night/friday morning after the concert. we originally booked to stay until saturday but after the weather turned out to be super rainy we decided to check out friday morning and just go home after friday nights concert. i went down to the lobby after packing up that morning and let them know i was checking out, they informed me i couldnt get my second night refunded even though i literally only spent 9 hours total in this room. so i spent 300$ for one night in a at best 2 star hotel, the room we stayed in was so hot when we got in there in took hours to cool down, the bathroom wasnt all that clean either.
