Nice and clean. Everyone was very nice. Donna who was there in the morning tending to breakfast brought out Coffemate creamer when I mentioned of only using that at home, she brought some out for me to use every morning I came for breakfast. No blankets for the beds. Just a thin bed spread and sheet. Bath tub stopper didn't work and tub was slippery. Had to buy a stopper and a bath mat. Other than that, it was nice. We will probably stay again if we pass through.
It doesn't have bugs unlike Econolodge next door. It has a fridge and microwave. It's clean, but housekeeping makes infrequent stops to your room. Marion does not have liquor sales in gas stations, this hotel has a bar built in. Wi-Fi speeds are great (250mb down) but connection was inconsistent, however my hotel neighbor had great speeds and consistency (different Wi-Fi AP).
It's fantastic. Great staff who are very kind and respectful and Good rooms. It's close to the highway and stores
Thank you been there 2 times once in spring and now Fall have had clean room . everything nice For the price I'll book again in the future 5 stars for price room etc.Renee Kimbro
Great customer service.... I checked in late after driving all day. 1st rooms a/c wasn't pushing cold air out. The front desk immediately went up and found us a room with cold air. I was very impressed with how the problem was solved. I originally had a reservation using my choice employee discount, however the room at the hotel next door was awful and I couldn't stay there. The breakfast was good and the hotel was very clean.
A great value for a clean room. Exceptional breakfast for this price point.
The girl at the check in counter was great...she went above her job to help me get checked in. My id was stolen so I had no photo id. Except on my phone. She helped me email it to her so she had a copy on file. She was great.!!! The room was ok... wish the toilet had a lid on it. That was the only bad thing...
No coffee maker in room as described (room 111). Room clean. Bed was comfortable (which definitely counts for a discounted hotel).
