I have stayed at the hotel many times and out of all of the hotels in the area this one is just as nice as any Comfort Inn. The staff always remembers my name when I come in. Also are very respectful all the time. Sam, kriss, and Tonya are my three favorite employees. I can promise you I would stay there every single time, even if it wasn’t close to where I work because the level of care received there. They go above and beyond to make sure your happy and the rooms are always clean they provide Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, Make up wipes, in case you forgot yours at home. Not to mention they also have a Hardee’s, Waffle House, Laundromat, and two different convenience stores within walking distance of the hotel! Also several bars, with gaming slot machines for anyone trying to wind down from a long week at work. They are dog friendly and it’s absolutely a family friendly environment. They also provide biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, waffles and other options for breakfast in the mornings made fresh. Also lots of grassy areas for our fur babies to roam around on a leash of course!! One more thing they have jacuzzi rooms too! They are pretty nice for anyone who wants to maybe have a romantic night with the Mr. Or Mrs.

I’m gonna try to make this short but my husband and I use to stay here often for the jacuzzi tub all the time a few years ago. Then, it was definitely dated(the rooms) so we stopped coming. Fast forward to 3/22/25….. the rooms have definitely been updated and the staff is just as helpful and amazing as always. However I had an issue with my booking and the hotel owner/manager(we’re unsure about his actual role in the hotel) had already had two options for us to fix it: he was so patient and kind and stayed late to make sure we were taken care of. But the overall stay was great…. Our room is nice and comfortable and we were also gifted a gift from the manager/owner for our troubles. Definitely recommend this location it looks sketchy outside but they have so many cameras and the police presence is enough to make you feel safe. We will definitely be booking again. It’s definitely a family hotel!!
