I never checked into the hotel. The hotel agency cancelled my reservation and I was moved closer to my destination in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

"Functional"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The room met our needs for a place to stay. It had a musty odor, but appeared clean. Beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small and somewhat cramped. It was a good location for being able to walk around downtown.
