Check in was lengthy. Computers were running slowly, hotels.com booked my stay for 4 nights instead of the one on my confirmation, poor clerk was frustrated but very nice. Overall condition of the hotel was very good.

On the way to Nashville
One night stay before hitting Nashville. Rooms are done nicely but lacking some general maintenance. Easy parking and there was good Mexican food right there.

The staff was exemplary and so helpful. We will return just for the southern hospitality, but also the room was spacious and updated nicely. The bed was so comfortable, and there were no restrictions on the television channels. It was a great stay!

Room was clean and enjoyed the free breakfast. Liked that it's pet friendly even though there's really no grass for them to go potty on around the property.

Nice stay
Room was large. Very clean. Bed was a bit firm for me, otherwise a great room. Ate at the Mexican Restaurant across the lot. Food was great.
