We've stayed at this hotel a number of times over the years. It's located just off the interstate and nestled in a quiet dead-end road next to an outlet shopping center. It is also next to a Cracker Barrel and a Chinese Buffet restaurant, which is convenient. If you're interested in the Military Park, it's located just across the interstate from that. However, this hotel is not receiveing the TLC it used to. Our room was not in good repair, the bathroom door wouldn't even close. The shower was not in good shape and the toilet seat was all gritty, as if it were particle board that gotten wet! I understand its hard to stay in budget doing major repairs, but a toilet seat is $10. I can deal with all that though, after all, I'm just there to sleep for a few hours and they always accept my bid on Priceline Name your own price. So, it's still a value. What I'm upset about this trip is the service. We stayed on a Friday night and had the breakfast Saturday morning. It wasn't an extravagent meal, just the basics: cereal, bread, waffle machine, and (microwaveable) biscuit and gravy. The gravy was like milk it was so thin. I seriously thought it was in the process of being made and someone still needed to add the instant gravy powder. The employee was involved in a conversation with the desk clerk and clearly didn't appreciate me interrupting. She came into the breakfast area, stirred the milk and said, "no, that's how it is." I questioned it, and she repeated her conversation ending response and walked away... back to her conversation with the desk clerk. My thought was, If this is the way they are doing things now, I won't be bidding on their hotel in the future. However, we had booked a room going and coming on our trip. We stayed here again 10 days later, on a week night. The staff was much more attentive and friendly and the gravy was thick, like its supposed to be, which only proved the other girl just didn't care to fix the problem. So, now, I'm thinking I just got a bad crew, probably the weekend crew, who is less concerned with how things go. I suppose I will give them another chance when I'm in the area, but they should consider themselves on notice.
