Pros +
- Bed was comfortable the air-conditioner worked hot breakfast
- Great staff, great location. Nice breakfast and comfortable beds
- Exceeded our expectations, breakfast was above standard hotel breakfasts with fresh bakery items and not prepackaged
Cons -
- 1st room had mold or mildew on the lower part of the curtains which was directly above the A/C
- While it was great to have a bath fan, the bath fan was hardwired into the bathroom light and one switch turned on/off both, so bring a night light if you don?t want to wake up partner in the middle of the night if you use the bathroom.
- Little tricky to find entrance

Better than any hotel within 50 miles either direction north or south as far as value and cleanliness... except this trip the price had increased $30+ since our last stay in 10/23 (we stay at this hotel ~4 or more times per year).
Much too expensive for the room, bed, pillow and shower quality.
It's right off I-35. The entrance is at the the old Ford dealership. Road says dead end. Keep going. There's a Dollar General. Subway. McDonalds and a good Mexican restaurant. And a Pizza Ranch. Casey's, Diary Queen and a Antique Mall.
Kids banging on the door. Room 200 is right off the elevator so they got away fast. I knew who they were. Told the parent that it scared me to death. Saw the embarassment so left it at that.
Room was clean and quiet. Continental breakfast was good. Location was convenient.
Clean and comfortable
The key maker was broken so no room keys for anyone the entire weekend. Had to be let into our rooms every time we left. Very inconvenient
Old run down, equipment needs replaced..Hair in tub bathroom sink, sheets stained.. carpet needs cleaned...
The staff was friendly and accommodating.
The week we were there, there were clumps of mud going up the stairs and the lobby rugs were always dirty. We found a soda bottle of some liquid (not soda) under the bed. Our room was never cleaned or made up.
Clean. Friendly staff. Clean
The super 8 across the street was a bit of an eyesore
Asked for the third floor. Arrived at 3 pm. Has laundry. By midnight the parking lot was full. It was so quiet.
It was kinda humid in our room. Otherwise everything was good.
Very friendly staff and were very very accommodating to my requests. And breakfast and coffee was very good
The cleanliest of it and the helpful staff. It was just great The beds were very comfortable.
Location, clean, nice rooms, fair price
Everything was fine.
Clean and quiet. Beds in great shape. Check in was very quick, since the hotel paperwork was already printed out. I just had to show my ID, sign the form and grab my room cards. The staff was very well prepared.
Close to the interstate but the noise didn''t bother us. Clean and comfortable. Worth for your money
Well appointed room. Comfy beds.
Low water pressure in tub/shower.
Everything was super crisp clean, the mattress very comfortable and nicely decorated.
Everything was great!
Bed and pillows were very comfortable, pool and hot tub were very clean and warm, staff was the best !!
Air conditioning had a short or something wrong but it had cooled down at night and was able to open windows. Shower head could of been more powerful,(that's just my liking)
Very nice staff. Clean comfortable room. Peaceful stay.
