It was mentioned that Coffee and Tea was available; but, it was not there. It was mentioned that Microwave oven was available and it was not. The bed sheets and pillow covers were dirty. The wooden flooring in the bathroom was moving up and down. The property was not clean.

It was a last minute booking because I missed my flight but I’d stay here again. Room was clean and pretty clearly been renovated recently with minor details that need to be buttoned up. TV was new, Fridge had a layer of frost in it and was clean and cold.

The room was very nice. The water was very hot. The bed was very comfortable and the parking lot was extremely well lit. The location is only 10 minutes from the HOV lane on I-75. We were heading north and so this allowed us to get through Atlanta early in the morning with very little traffic. The only setback is that there are no amenities - no hair dryer, no microwave, no fridge, no coffee machine and no breakfast. However you could grab a coffee from the thermos. We would definitely go back because of the location, friendly and helpful staff, and a nice comfortable room. The cost was also quite reasonable.

Very professional, very clean. Breakfast was included and had hot and cold food options. Eggs, omelets, bacon or sausages depending on the day. Lots of close ammenities. Pool hours were sunrise to sunset so fluctuated depending who was working so sometimes 9pm close sometimes 930 or 10pm. So that was hard to plan. But would book again. 30 minutes to parks on back roads with no traffic.

Booking via the Expedia app was quick. Traveling to the location was easy. Check-in with Sam was a breeze. Parking just outside the room (#111) was well-lit and ample. The room was basic with only necessities. There was a very strong chemical smell in the room that was tolerable for the one night. The door wasn’t tightly fit and light came in. Other occupants made noise getting in and out of vehicles, talking/yelling as they passed the room, and going up the stairs. There were sirens, engine revs, bird songs, etc. all night long. My dog heard and barked at every sound. At some point everything but the birds got quiet and then it was time for us to leave. We checked out early to head back to Louisiana before the Memorial Day holiday travelers. Before driving off I took a photo of a red bird on the railing.

This room was definitely not what I expected this time when I booked it compared to my room from December. 1. The sheets were more than stained. 2. No thin blanket between sheet and bedspread. 3. Bathroom rug was dingy and discolored. 4. Paint drippings in and around shower. 5. Television was damaged/cracked on the bottom right corner. -volume and channel change affected by damage/crack 6. No garbage/trash can in room. 7. Security lock is broken from door 8. Visible damage from outside of the door. Looks like someone had previously broke in.

For a 2 Star motel, the place was clean and had a fridge and a microwave in the room. Bathroom was super clean and the front desk staff was courteous. Unlike some reviews, I didn't see any bugs or roaches in the room. They would possibly do well by sweeping on the steps but again, for a 2-star facility, it was a good stay.

People talking in front of my room at 2:30 in the a.m. this lasted for 30-45 min. Sounded like a drug buy conversation! Sketchy area, I would not bring my family……this was a solo business trip. Clean room / bedding, but the room was not made up or the towels replaced ever, I was there for 4-nights. You are getting what you pay for!

The area is decent and there was not a lot of foot traffic. Although the outside looked plain the rooms were very nice. You could tell that they had been upgraded recently. I would stay there again. The only thing I didn't like was the random cats that use the bathroom on the stairs.

The hotel itself was fine, but upon arrival they gave me keys to a room already occupied by a man. As a single woman traveling, this could have been very unsafe. Then, on the second night, my key card stopped working so I had to haul all of my bwlongings down stairs to chat with front desk again. Also, there was no one at the front desk during my checkout 5:30am, so I had to leave the key and a note, hoping they would check me out.

The area around the hotel is very sketchy: for example, the Waffle House across the street even locks its doors at night. The hotel itself is run down. No housekeeping, not even clean towels, for a four night stay. Long term tenants having parties in the parking lot at night. Do yourself a favor and stay away.
