Really surprised how nice and clean the place was. The managers are great and will do everything they can to make your stay pleasant. Very quite and relaxing atmosphere. The helpfulness and friendly staff makes it well worth it. The lovely is beautiful. I really love how they went out of their way to a.c. accomidate my almost every need.

Very clean updated and comfortable rooms. The breakfast was a God send for the kids there were cereals, grits, waffles, honey buns and cinnamon rolls, toast jelly, orange juice and coffee. I would stay here again no question.

They need weekly rates and should offer discounts to long term residents. And your still locked out of your room after 11 even though i have been there for over 2 months and i have kept my room immaculately neat, clean and organized.

I went here to grab a few rooms for the people that were leaving Florida in front of the hurricane . I only did it because i saw people that was looking for a place to sleep and get some rest. I got some rooms for people who I didn't know. But, the reward is priceless. The hurricane really caused a lot of damage as well as spin 28 tornadoes. Everything and every other person
