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.

We left after we saw the room we were staying in. Very dirty.. Towels had stains and pillows were yellow. We only were going to stay there due to the Holiday Inn being completely booked.

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.

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

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!

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.

Unappreciated

Service was very unfriendly. Knocked on my door 10:30 ,11 , and 11:15 for check out. Breakfast was poor, only waffle or cereal. There is not much els available around town and thats what keeps them in business. Next time i will stay somewhere different if the service is better.

UNDOUBTEDLY THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD OF A HOTEL/MOTEL ROOM IN MY LIFE. 1) Upon entering the room, saw there was splattered diarrhea on the toilet seat. Turned down sheets, two dead bugs. Pillows reeked of rancid oil -smelled like they hadn't been washed in months. Blanket stiff and did not smell of laundry soap. I did not sleep at all. Kept all my clothes on and wrapped my head in my knitted scarf so that I wouldn't have to touch the pillows. Slept on top of sheets. In a.m. no one was at the desk (was about 6:00 a.m.). I stood there for 15 min. with sensor dinging to let them know someone was in the lobby. No one ever answered. My phone would not work there- I had to walk next door to fast-food place to use a phone. I request a full refund. Who do I submit my request to? Room # was 115. Night of stay was Friday Nov 29, 2019. SJM

This was not a good place to stay and would not go back there again!! Beds were lumpy, the linens were stained, and there was no breakfast as advertised. One day, I buzzed them to the front windows. It took a while for them to get there. I asked about the breakfast, and she said it was over. I said the sign on the wall says 6am to 10 am daily. It was like 8:30 or so. She went to the kitchen and turned on the waffle machine, threw stuff on the counter and left. Another guy came in looking for coffee, and there was none. They live on the property, have a young boy who is constantly crying and whining, and rides his bike up and down the hallway. They had already charged my stay to my c.c or I would have left and went somewhere else. There was a young man that stood at the front counter for over an hour waiting for help to get into his room. He left to go get him some breakfast at the local mc donalds, which is where we ended up eating. He rang their buzzer probably 50 times and they would not come to the counter! Just a horrible place!!!
