Evacuation & Kind Property Owners
We had a mandatory evacuation from Savannah Georgia because of Hurricane Matthew. I booked these rooms ( I booked 2 rooms as we had my Mother in Law and Brother in Law with us as well), before the order was issued. We got to the hotel tired and worried. The front desk staff was very kind and accommodating. They allowed dogs for a small fee of $12, this was very important to us as our dog is a member of our family. They got our rooms ready for us earlier than check in, so we could rest. Every day breakfast was ready and food was available between 6 am - 9 am. Orange juice, cereals (hot and cold), waffles (make your own), danishes, and pastries. The staff was very accommodating as the evacuation ended up being longer than expected. They stopped by the room every day to see if we needed fresh towels or if we wanted housekeeping. The hotel is an older property but you can tell renovations have been made, and are still in the process of upgrading features. Our room was clean, beds were comfy, and the air conditioning worked very well. Hopefully we will not ever have the need to evacuate again, but if we did I would book this hotel again.

I was in town just for the night. I checked in and was greeted by a friendly gentleman. Room was clean and quiet. I will stay again if I am ever in town there.

DIsgusting
We reserved this hotel as a stoping point from driving on our way to Florida. After 16 hours of driving/ riding in a car I just wanted a clean room to get some sleep. As soon As we pulled up I knew it wasn't going to be good. The neighborhood made me feel very unsafe. When we checked in the lobby was locked and we had to check in through a walk up window with bullet proof glass. The room was disgusting. The bathroom smelled and the toilet had urine and hair on it. The hand towels had blood on them. The bedding was stained. This place was the worst place I have EVER been to. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Thank you Expedia for getting a great price - hotel 800 number wanted twice your price. Hotel is old and room was smelly. The staff was great and provided a roll away bed for $10 very quickly!!!!

A pleasant stop
This is not a place you would write home about but was clean, comfortable and economical. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were just looking for a good rest and got that. Well worth the cost.

Just an overnighter...
Just a place to sleep on the way home from FL. Room was clean, not an abundance of towels and such but adequate. Easy in and back on I-75. No bread for toast at breakfast, everything else but no bread. Good place to eat in the shopping center just across the interstate. Mexican food and plenty of it.

could be better
We reserved a king room but got 2 double beds. Our room clearly was a dog friendly one & not as thoroughly cleaned or updated as expected. The lobby was nice & the staff friendly. Location was convenient for a stopover.

Deplorable conditions
This was by far THE worst stay at any hotel I've ever been. Filthy ! Pool was like a cess pool ! No hair dryer. No outlets. Holes in the walls. Exhaust fan in bathroom uncovered & not working. Metal strip on bottom of front door unattached so any critter could come in. Walls were literally falling apart with patchwork that appeared to be done by a 4yr. old. Not even coffee in the lobby. Was told to wait & he would make some.(At 8:25 AM !) Desk clerk VERY unfriendly when we arrived & later as well. Actually took pictures of most of these issues. Seriously this property needs to be condemned! I certainly would expect compensation. It's really sad that Hotels.com represents this place. I was really embarrassed for my wife & even my dog!

I was surprised at how good this motel was it was very quite i have to say i have been traveling on the road for three days now and this motel was actually the only place where i felt safe and at home and actually had some sleep we stayed here for two nights my wife woke up early the next morning and went to go eat breakfast and she liked it i couldn't wake up. The rooms are well maintained and the maid that gave us service the next day was very kind and did a good job

Do Not Stay Here
This hotel was dirty, mustly, the bathroom floor was sticky and smelled like urine. There was something brown smeared on the shower walls. The handle to the soap dish was broken off. There were 0 emeties. What hotel does not even have a clock or hair dyer. No shampoo either. You did get a small cake of cracked soap. There was a roach in my bed. The room was musty. My in-laws in a room down the hall fared no better. I would recommed looking for a hotel a few more exits up. We saw other hotels that would no doubt be of better quality. It is worth the few miles and few dollars.

Thank you for taking the time to review us, but unfortunately we believe you left this feedback for the wrong hotel, because we are a exterior property with no hallways. We have clean and comfortable rooms that are newly renovated next time you are in this area give us the chance to serve your lodging needs. Thank you
