Nicest place we stayed on our travels

This was an excellent motel. Very good breakfast, comfortable bed, nice clean room. There was a towel sculpture on the bed (like on cruise ships) to welcome us, which was a very nice touch.

Average stay

My stay was alright. There was a Tennessee game so the room prices were quite high. The room had a strange smell but was otherwise clean. The common areas were updated and clean, but overall the property is average. The surrounding area has plenty of fast food and other amenities which was appreciated. I ended up paying around $350 for 1 night here. This is nowhere near a $350 per night hotel, so I was a bit disappointed with the accommodations. I’d only recommend if there aren’t many other options.
