The room appears to have been remodeled or updated recently. Everything looks new and clean. The staff is friendly and the free cookies are delicious. The TV is a nice flat screen 50” Samsung. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Good location right off of I 270! Lots of restaurants nearby.

"Comfortable and right by highway."
Overall score4.0/ 5
This hotel fit my location needs. The bed and room were clean and comfortable. However, the bathroom shower and tub were in need of recaulking the old bunching up and loose, it was clean despite some hard water stains. The lobby is very small for the breakfast, not many tables, but it is comfortable. More variety for breakfast than I expected and the grinding coffee machines were my favorite. Decaf is hard to come by in most hotels late at night.
