Hotel seems to have seen better days - everything a bit worn and tired. Dingey bathroom with dripping tap and chipped tub. Staff seemed bored and indifferent; breakfast poor.

While the property is older, the room had all the modern features as a new hotel,(coffee maker,microwave, fridge, hair dryer etc.) The room was spotless! Beds were comfortable and the location of the room was quiet. The check in was quick and efficient, the clerk lovely and friendly. We did not partake of the breakfast, as we left to early to enjoy it. All in all a perfectly pleasant and budget friendly experience.

Minus one star because pool empty and closed

I chose this place because it was a "local" property, and the photos made it look like a charming Southern inn. Overall, the location was central to everything I needed, and while the rooms were not as I expected (more of a drive-up motel after the main building), it was clean and comfortable. The manager accommodated my needs without my having to ask. The one downside was that the pool was empty and closed when I stayed there. After a day of driving and working, I was really looking forward to a cool, relaxing dip and was completely bummed out. It was mid-May, but it was already getting hot in Georgia, so I figured it would be open. I would consider staying again, but I will call to ensure the pool is open before booking another stay.
