We arrived around 11:00 pm without a reservation and were greeted with a smile. The room was quiet and comfortable. Free Breakfast was a plus. There is a Starbucks right down the street. Good value and great place to rest while on the road.

The most important thing is the bed after a long drive and it was very comfortable. The free wifi worked well and there were many restaurants close by. The room was fairly clean but the toilet had mold under the rim and the water pressure in the shower was terrible. While showering, the water kept going from very hot to... More

Great breakfast area. Well stocked and maintained even though the breakfast room was packed. Very clean hotel in lobby, around parking lot and exceptional in room. Best find in quite some time. Service was second to none. Also, even with outdoor entrances, the hotel felt very safe.

This is an older property that has been renovated and everything is pretty good for the price and the market area. It has an exercise room, pool and hot breakfast. The hotel is close to everything the area has to offer; restaurants, shopping and service stations. But beware, the price may increase due to work at the local nuclear plant.

On a two week trip around the Southeast, found this to be great overnight stop. Easy check-in, clean room, restful night, and a big jumpstart breakfast.

I stayed here Oct 09, 2011 for one night. I asked for (and received!) the "internet rate" as a walk-in. The clerk was friendly even though it was pretty late..and that's rare these days! I rented a king smoking room. The bed was comfortable although the pillows were small but they always are in hotels so I carry my own.... More

Was lured into spending less than 12 hours here on the way to Florida by their reasonable prices but would pass it by in the future. Our room was not that clean but the worst feature was the bed.
