The stay at your motel was very nice. There is one issue that I believe needs attention. Handycapped accessibility needs attention. I had an accessible room # 121. The room was hard to get a wheelchair in and turn it around. In the hallway strip of wood dividing the hallways from the main entry are so bit that wheelchair has problems going accross. You have a nice pool however it is not accessible from handycapped i dividuals starting tfrom the doors that allow you to go outside have a good 3 inch drop. Going outside is one thing, attempting to come back inside is impossible without assistance. Lastly the beautiful wooden patio is impossible to access.

The hallways and stairways didn’t have air conditioning and it was very hot and humid. The outside temperature was in the 90s. It was uncomfortable walking from the parking lot to the room in the extreme heat. The consolation was that the AC in the room worked great.

Beware! The positive reviews on Expedia are not accurate and are quite misleading. The hotel is dated and dirty. Our room had a horrible smell that was so strong we were unable to sleep. The sheets on one of the beds were stained. The sink did not drain when water was turned on. The shower was moldy. Carpet was stained and threadbare in parts. We tried to call front desk about something only to discover that the phone is a decorative prop and did not actually connect to a phone line! Staff was very pleasant but we relied on reviews in choosing this hotel and feel completely misled about this property.

Very old and humid. Our room had mold and mildew in the bathroom with hair on the floor. Air conditioner rattled.The staff was friendly and did offer us to change rooms and we did due to mildew in the shower. I would have liked a discount or refund however booking through Expedia did not allow for this. Our rooms were very expensive as we were in town for Auburn game. The second room still had significant mold on vents. The foyer was clean and smelled nice. We did not eat breakfast so I can not speak to it but looked good.

did not have an elevator, beds that you will roll to the middle of during the night. torn and broken window treatments, the bathroom was a rundown residential feel, like a crack house. humidity in the rooms so bad you will sweat, freeze and be hot all at the same as you try and sleep. and if you go during football game weekends, you will pay premium and honestly i would have rather had my family of four stay in our car the two nights we had to endure. no stars

The bed and pillows are not the most comfortable. You may want to bring your own pillow. The doors are higher up so you can hear everything going on in rooms and going on in the hallway. If people are doing things in the room when you walk by you will hear every single detail. The walls are also thin between rooms. If you sleep with the tv on it will be easier to sleep.

I realize check-in time is 3pm, but we arrived at 2:30pm. It took the front desk 3 different step away times to figure out that that our room was not ready because the beds were not made yet. Then we returned at 3:15pm given a room with NO toilet tissue, a broken lift switch cover in the bathroom with an exposed wire, and a broken refrigerator. Had to complain enough that they switched our room. Overall not a great experience!

It seems to be a little older property, but it was clean and kept up. When I walked into my room, it had a fairly strong flower-like fragrance, but after I turned on the air conditioner and circulated the air, it went away. The room and bathroom were clean and everything worked as expected. The staff was helpful and considerate. The breakfast wasn't anything fancy, but it was hot and ready the one morning I partook. It's convenient to shopping and food and close to the interstate. I wouldn't hesitate to say here again.

The price was better than most that had a good rating. The room was clean with a comfortable bed for me (not so much for my wife who likes softer beds). The bathroom had a wonky faucet with a pick hot/cold handle in the shower, and it was unusually high up. Not the most convenient location if you exit the interstate, esp b/c our app took us on an odd route. Even so, I'd definitely stay again, The guy at the desk was super-nice and even took time to enter my Best Western loyalty number, which many hotels won't do if you book through Expedia or another such site.

The breakfast was my biggest issue. The eggs were not warm, the biscuits were rubbery. Our room was nice, it did smell of older people but not overwhelming just whenever you first went in. No fault of the property we did have some folks outside our door at 330am arguing rather loudly for quiet a few mins. It is an older property but was maintained well, location was good, area safe feeling, the bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly enough.

Shortly after checking in and entering our room, a small cockroach scurried across the bottom of the frame around the bathroom mirror. The room also had a faint urine smell on one side of the bed with the nightstand askew like an attempt to clean the smell was made. The power went out randomly around 330am and stayed off for about a half hour. The breakfast consisted of premade frozen then microwaved egg patties and other equally as gross looking frozen foods. All accompanied by a very loud and boisterous “waitress” fishing for tips and trying to “help” where help wasn’t needed. If we wanted a loud breakfast with a waitress we’d go to a restaurant. Not what you’re hoping to experience waking up first thing after a terrible night of sleep when you just want to have your coffee in quiet. The checkout staff didn’t even bother asking how the stay was upon check out or I would have informed them of the above listed issues then. Overall, I would not recommend. I’ll pay the extra $20 next time and stay at the La Quinta or Holiday Inn.
