2 old pull out couch beds thrown behind dumpster or something. Seems to have been there for quite some time. It was thrown in the back of the building, but could be easily seen by guests.

Cons: The room had trash in it upon arrival. The mattress was hard as a brick. The pillow was as lumpy as the breakfast grits. The room had a moisture issue and yellow stains on the ceiling. The linens were stained. After getting my littles ready for the pool, we walked downstairs to discover it was green and the stairs were moldy. Pros: The lady at the front desk was phenomenal. She even tried to find us another pool to go to. The manager was awesome when I called to let him know how our stay was going. He comped one of our nights for us. The location was great. The breakfast had a ton of options. There are a TON of complimentary perks like pop corn and cookies. The price was the lowest in the area with a pool.

Yuck!

Booked last minute; arrived at 11:15 pm. Hotel had great ratings. Room 306 STUNK. I thought I could manage for one night, worst night! In the light of day, I believe there was a water leakage issue and what I was smelling was mold.

We were in a bind and had to stay at this hotel for the weekend for graduation. All places in the area hike up the price for those times and it was ridiculous. Comfort Inn was dirty all around. Our room had a musty smell to it, the AC didn't work, and the sheets were stained. Not a great expereince.

Pretty decent stay

The front desk Lady at check in was awesome!! The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed ever! The room itself could've use a little updating,cleaning the ceilings. But also booked to go back in October so it wasn't that bad
