Hotel is showing its age. Bathroom definitely needs some upkeep. Sink drain was especially slow, lots of patched grout work, but the biggest complaint was the lack of water pressure in the shower. Rinsing my hair took forever to make sure all the shampoo was out. Beds were comfortable. TV channel selection good. Location to other amenities was fantastic and couldn’t be better! Staff was friendly and breakfast was nothing special but hot and included. I do wish they’d bring back daily, or every other day housekeeping services. When you stay three nights your trash cans fill up and you need fresh towels.

The entire hotel is very clean. Staff at front desk is very cordial. Beds and pillows were very comfy and clean. Bathroom had dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and hand soap. Breakfast had eggs, sausage, waffles, fruit, yogurt, cinnamon rolls, omelets. Very nice selection. Easy to find off of I65. Walmart right by hotel as well as other shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
