I don't know what everybody else is talking about, but the hotel is nice, the beds were comfortable. I enjoyed my stay. They were doing some construction but you could barely hear it. I heard the kids in the pool over the construction. Overall nice hotel, will be coming back!

The hotel was great, Clean and the staff was friendly! The free breakfast was amazing! And the kids loved the pool! There’s a dollar general close to it which was perfect for the little things we forgot to pack and there was a cool Robert Wadlow Statue close to the hotel as well. Overall it was a 10/10 for us

My only complaint is with the breakfast. One morning they had French fries for breakfast. They had gray two mornings but only had biscuits with it one day. Breakfast could certainly use some improvement.

A Great Place to Hole Up

A little dated and gaudy but clean and nice. Staff are cool and friendly. The Mexican restaurant on location is good too. I got the house margarita which had a heavy pour and a chicken quesadilla.

Hotel review

Our stay was good. Room was clean and comfortable. Toilet seat was very loose. Bathroom a bit dirty, dirt in corners. A channel guide for the TV would have been handy to have. Tables in the breakfast area all seem to be wiggly. Breakfast items were a bit subpar.
