My family and I enjoyed our stay here. We only needed a bed and shower. This place was perfect for just what we needed. There was a grab and go station in the morning. Just not great coffee, juice, yogurt and some muffins. But I wasn't there to have breakfast we went to Old Hamlin for that. Such great food! The bed was super comfortable the shower was hot the toilet flushed. The pool was there and open with spa. We didn't use it but it looked nice. Mia checked us in, she was super friendly and helpful. The will experience was an A .

Cleanliness was excellent and that is most important to me. Key cards were a problem. Had to keep swiping to get it to work. Bedding was good and comfy except for pillows, they need replacing.

Decent place. Repeat stay. Could use some updating, especially the carpet- otherwise a decent place to spend the night.

Mayby things will be better next time?
We stayed one night this time. We were in the area a few nights again this trip like we were in 2021. This time we were not as impressed. In 2021 the place needed some updates and this has taken place but this time we were in room 155. The rate was the same, we were surprised about this. However, I guess they had not used the room in sometime. The room was dusty. The jetted tub would not come on without messing with the button for 5-10 minutes. The TV seemed to be going out. The picture was blurry, and the colors were off. Of course, no one was at the front desk to address the concerns at check out. I just dropped the key and left.
