Came here last 5 plus years and always booked two rooms with elderly mom on the way to Florida. Our tv went out, worker came to the room, offered to move us, we can’t when my mom is in the other room, she was sound asleep at 930. Nope, I already booked at Best western next year cause nobody called me to make this right! I should get a kick back for being great customers!

Comfy Stop Close to 65

Comfy and convenient to 65. Behind a Cracker Barrel, gas station, and plenty of food options. We were 2 adults and a small dog just looking for somewhere quiet and safe to break up a long road trip. It is a very simple and older room with a big bathroom and a good-sized fridge. Staff was friendly.

This is definitely a motel level experience. The lobby smelled strongly of natural gas. The rooms had comfortable beds with clean linens, but there were some dead bugs and flies in the room. There was a water leak and peeling paint on the ceiling by the door. The bathroom shower was a bit dirty and the rod was falling apart. The pool area was clean, but feels a bit exposed to the parking lot area. There were a few people hanging around outside of their rooms at night which felt uncomfortable walking past from the pool to the room. The breakfast was OK waffle maker was a plus, biscuits and gravy felt old. Overall an OK stop for the night but a bit expensive for the quality.

Assigned room 103. Upon inspection, discovered an unopened condom in the bed along with evidence that the bed linens had not been changed (dirt, hairs). A box of condoms was found in the bedside table drawer. Contacted the front desk. Initially the attendant removed the bedding but, after a 15-minute delay, the attendant offered us a different, equivalent room. The new room (107) was satisfactory.

Basic overnight stay for last night of family vacation. Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was not well-stocked so went to the IHOP down the road. Hotel was right off I-65 in well populated area with lots of dining options nearby. Staff was very friendly. It was more than fine for a one night stopover.
