The stay of a lifetime

Our hotel stay was perfect. The friendliness and helpfulness started with our check in. We needed extra pillows and were handed some right away. The room smelled clean, no insects and the bed was super comfortable. The stay was quiet and there were nice chairs outside the rooms to relax in. The property itself was very clean and kept up. The hot tub and pool were well maintained. Checkout was bittersweet as we didnt want to leave but it was very professional. Definitely dont hesitate to book your next stay here!

4/10 Fair

Was okay. Needs more service

Room was clean bathroom are super small. Not alot of mirrors. Refrigerator door wouldnt stay shut without propping something infront of it. Did not tidy room or change out towels daily. Take out your own trash. Never stayed anywhere that did not come in daily. Air-conditioning was cold. Pool and bbq area was beautiful.

Great for the price....but...

For the price, the room was great for a quick stay. I would have given it a 5star but there were some guest who were being rowdy and making alot of noise till 2am and i was surprised management did not ask them to stop after 10pm or so.
Dave, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay for the price. Bed was super comfy but we did go purchase a comforter from dollar general bc the ones they have are pretty old and not great but the sheets were very clean and we slept great. Mary at the front desk was so sweet and gave amazing customer service. The rooms could use a deep clean but overall I would stay here again for the price and hospitality.

Jonathan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great for the price. Everything was clean and eye appealing. Plenty of space for 4 people to sleep in room. A/C kept room nice and cold. I didn’t like that I couldn’t get a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning, and the shower drain smelt like rotten eggs, but otherwise a great place to stay

8/10 Very good

An older, family-owned property that's been fixed up. Small, tight bathroom but clean. Bed was clean and comfortable. TV had lots of channels including nearly all the sports channels (ESPN family, SEC, ACC, etc.) A good value.
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everyone here was so lovely. They are family owned and run, but it doesn’t feel like a camera is on you 24/7. Check in was nice and easy and even let us come a few hours early since a room was ready for us. Will be back!!
Shyla, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always a wonderful time staying here. This is our go to spot every trip. The staff is so kind and polite. We never have any problems. You can lounge right outside your door and meet your neighbors. They got a park for kids with grills outside too. 10/10 recommend.
