Our check in was smooth, we arrived super early and was allowed to get our room immediately. This was great since we were on the road for a number of hours. They were pleasant to deal with.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arriving, the parking lot was riddled with pot holes. My boyfriend went to check in while I sat in the car with my daughter who was sleeping. He came out with the key card, &we walked in. Immediately after walking in, there was a very odd stench. We got into our room and the tv and lights were on. There were stains all over the sheets and blankets. There was a thick coat of dust on the tv, dresser, window sill, etc. The little chair in the room was disgusting and covered in dust and stains as well. The towels and wash cloths were discolored and falling apart. The bathroom was disgusting. The floor being absolutely disgusting, the tub was so gross I didn’t even want to sit my daughter in it without washing it first for a bath. There was a broken tub plug, and the shower head was also broken. Will never waste money staying here again.

The room was filthy. Not even sure if it was cleaned. Stains on the wall. Bed linens, and bath linens were stained, threadbare, and appeared used. Walked into the room, checked it out and left. Made a reservation at the Holiday Inn.

Don't judge a book by its cover! The service at Briarwood is courteous and diligent. The outside and surrounding area might be a little run down, but the owners keep the rooms clean and relatively updated. I've stayed in major chains that haven't kept the rooms as nice and charged way more per night. The walls had a fresh coat of paint, wood-laminate floors, larger mini-fridge, microwave, and the bed was comfortable. I would stay here again, especially at these prices!

Overall pretty quiet, clean comfortable room.Of course you get the occasional idiot that cant use an indoor voice, and cannot close a door properly. That is not the property's fault. The only real drawbacks were very poor "continental breakfast", and the fact their ice machine was not working, and hasn't for quite some time, from the looks of things. A big plus is, they are pet friendly

Good place to lay your head

The room was comfortable. The refrigerator froze all of our stuff, so that was a little annoying. The sheets were stained up, but appeared to be clean. The service was friendly and good. The breakfast they offer was sub par at best. For a place to lay your head without spending an ungodly amount it was totally worth it. We will definitely use them again in the future.
