The stay was good. But when you book a room, make sure you call. My buddy and I got to the hotel and the room was booked for a smoking room and the had a tough time switching it to a non-smoking room.

The hotel was nice and quiet. Everyone was nice and helpful. The only thing I had an issue with was not being informed that I had to request housekeeping.

The property was right off the exit which was nice. $75 credit hold for incidentals was questionable as I had already paid for the room. Floor had not been vacuumed as there were crumbs all over the floor. Hair on the walls of the shower. Had requested late check out and put not ready yet sign on the door and housekeeping kept beating on the door even after I kept saying I had late check out. I thought the room was overpriced for the size.

The breakfast was disappointing. They ran out of sausage gravy one day and didn't make it on another day. I had to ask for coffee and cream, as both of those were out.

I’m not sure why I had to present my credit card for “incidentals.” I didn’t see anything that would have resulted in an additional charge. Also, couldn’t understand most of what the check-in person said.

The room was clean. The staff were very nice and helpful. The only issue was the slow draining bathroom sink. I did report it twice but it wasn’t resolved before the end of our 4 night stay. Inspite of this I’d still say we had a positive experience
