Pretty nice hotel overall. Good breakfast (omelets, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, sausage) and all the other basic things.
One issue was the door on the room. We left the room thinking the door closed all the way behind us due to the powerful hinge they have, but when we returned it in fact had not closed fully. So watch that. I also had issues with getting doors open on our room and the pool room.
The shower head sprayed water everywhere.
The hot tub was warm but not overly hot.

The room seem clean but when I opened one of the beds the sheets looked like they had been used. It had dark specks and hair. I’m pretty sure they did not change the sheets on that bed. Thankfully I didn’t have to use that bed and the other one seemed clean. Please change the bed sheets every time and customer leaves. Breakfast was good!

The young man at the front desk was very good. He made check in easy and when the tornado siren sounded he personally knocked on our door and told us what we needed to do.

Not as nice as it seems
I stayed in this hotel for one night while driving through the area. Our original room had an ac that wasn't working and had a puddle forming right next to it and the room didn't have a phone to reach the front desk. After getting switched to another room we found that the next room had a concerning dip in the bathroom floor giving the impression that there was damage in the floor beneath. There was also a splatter mark on the blinds of some kind of liquid. This room had a phone, but it didn't work. The bed was comfy and the breakfast was good, but this hotel seems to be lacking is general maintenance. When I spoke to the front desk at my departure the attendant offered no solutions, only acknowledgment.
