Pleasant Stay during Renovation
The hotel was in the middle of renovation so the fumes were not that great. But there was overall comfort with a Waffle House in walking distance.

This was a shopping trip and this hotel served its purpose. The complimentary breakfast served it's purpose. Free parking for our rental was also a plus.
Malieka, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only issue we had was that the room was not cleaned and I had to ask for toilet paper everyday
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not horrible
For the price, it wasn't that bad. It does take a minute or two for the water to get good and hot for a shower, and the outlet next to the coffee maker was already taken up by the lamp and the TV and clearly needed to be replaced. They were undergoing renovations during my stay, so that might get addressed. Otherwise, it made my stay good without destroying my bank account.
