The staff was exemplary and so helpful. We will return just for the southern hospitality, but also the room was spacious and updated nicely. The bed was so comfortable, and there were no restrictions on the television channels. It was a great stay!

It's obviously an older style motel, that has been updated very well, especially the bathrooms. The rooms seemed quiet, the beds were comfortable and overall the complex is clean and well kept. Breakfast was good, not great, but better than most motels. We would stay again.

Check in was lengthy. Computers were running slowly, hotels.com booked my stay for 4 nights instead of the one on my confirmation, poor clerk was frustrated but very nice. Overall condition of the hotel was very good.

One night stay before hitting Nashville. Rooms are done nicely but lacking some general maintenance. Easy parking and there was good Mexican food right there.
