Housekeeping staff was unprofessional. Called my room and asked to borrow $4 for cigarettes. Then asked me if I was going anywhere. The taxes brought by price up a lot. Was 18% for state then 5% for something else. The rooms over all were alright. Clean just old.

In its heyday it was a beautiful motel. It has not been maintain because it is now off the beaten path because of interstates being built and rerouting of traffic. Some receptacles didn't work, the light switch was about worn out and difficult to turn off and on, etc. What was funny was they didn't even have a computer to pick up the Expedia reservation. We were able to get a queen bed room even though Expedia said non were available and that we were getting the last room. Yea! Right!

This hotel is listed as pet friendly and it is not. Because we were evacuating from Hurricane Florence, the let us keep our three small dogs there for $10.00 a pet per day. My total was $150.00 for my dogs for 5 days. I am thankful they let us stay.

NOT pet friendly
This place is not pet friendly even though your website says it is. We were hurricane evacuees and after traveling many hours you dont want this hassle. The hotel said they told you to remove the pet friendly option from the search engine. Beware of the $100 FINE . The hotel is a no frills hotel which is fine. Taxes in Georgia are pretty high LOL which is not thier fault just giving a heads up to everyone.

Will stay again.
Decided to stay at this motel while in town for work. Great place to stay. Rooms aren't in the best condition but mine was very clean. Front desk was very nice and helpful. Every day when I got back to my room after work it was very well cleaned. Will defenitely stay again.
