Oh my! Not up to par… room was dirty, check in was a night mare! Dirty floors, mold on ceiling, the only thing good was indeed breakfast ( aside from rotten oranges) & swimming pool. I won’t stay there again! Do not book through Expedia… they had my pd reservation listed under a man name Ronald.. I’m a female named Sheila! Good grief! Waiting 38 mins for a room the only reason I didn’t leave was because they wouldn’t refund my $$! I want to post pictures but you will need to look at my Google review for that!

This hotel is literally right off of the highway (65) so very convenient. Breakfast was good. They even had a pork-free sausage option which was amazing for our family. A few spiders near/under the AC unit (since we had to unplug and plug it). AC does kick on and off throughout the night instead of staying on but we visited during a heat wave too! Overall, I would recommend and stay again.

Breakfast was not good. There were no plates or working pancake maker and food and coffee creamer was running out both days with no refills. There was hardly anything to eat when I went to breakfast an hour prior before it was supposed to end. Just not stocked well.

I liked the conjoining rooms and the size of the rooms. We do wish there was a laundry room for guests. We were in a storm the first night and none of our sweatshirts ever dried out. Also pool could use more chemicals..
