Best Western Riverside Inn
Nice stay, clean room, not noisy and breakfast was good. Had a bathroom door that couldn't close and bathtub drain backed up during showers in the morning..both reported to front desk and they were apologetic. We would stay again.

avid hotel Macon North by IHG
The room was decent. Went down for breakfast at 7:30 and there was no food left! Ended up having to leave without eating breakfast. Kind of ridiculous. I thought that was part of the cost. Feel like I should get a refund of some sort. Breakfast is advertised until 9:30
