The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and very well maintained. The bed was okay and the pillows were flat. The pool wasn’t clean but for a business trip it was an exceptional place. The town is very quiet and doesn’t offer very much.

Yourcon your own.

First of all, there's nothing wrong with the hotel but the hospitality was wanting!!! My wife and I both have problems sleeping because the pillows were not comfortable. Like other hotelsci went downstairs and asked for a few more. The ladie attending the desks said "We never had anyone ask for xtra pillows"! I said, "First time for everything!" She contacted the manager and they said they didn't have extra pillows. So i drove to the DG down the street and purchased some. Second night i went downstairs and asked for a few towels and washcloths. She said I'd have to bring her my other used towels!! I informed her I've never had a hotel do this either usually just leave them for maid service. She walked with me down the hall to the open laundry room throw them on the pile. I took back 2 towels. I felt like some kinda criminal. Vowed not too come back here again. The correct answer was....treat me like a guest. Ps: Marion, Al. Has few places to eat. You can count olem on your one hand and have digits left over.

Over All a great stay. I would recommend

Check-in was great and very easy, as was check-out. My only issues were that my drain in the tub/shower did not drain properly and that there was some mold and pealing paint at the bottom of the wall near the tub.
