Nice place to stay…staff was very friendly & accommodating. It was the first time we saw a deer wandering around outside the window of our room. We recommend staying here in Popeye’s home town.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (582 reviews)
The rooms were spacious with black.out curtains. Beds and pillows were comfy. The only thing I can complain about was the breakfast. I expected a little more, but it wasn't awful. I thought it would include biscuits and gravy. Very minor issue. I would definitely stay there again.
