Would stay again.
Friendly and helpful at the front desk. Good and plentiful breakfast with an attentive breakfast person. Our room was clean for the most part, it had a smoked in smell and there was an interesting brown mark on the bed spread. It was quiet and the pool seemed to be a hit with kids.

The staff was exemplary and so helpful. We will return just for the southern hospitality, but also the room was spacious and updated nicely. The bed was so comfortable, and there were no restrictions on the television channels. It was a great stay!
