Pleasant surprise

We were a little skeptical when we booked this hotel because the price was very reasonable but because of the good reviews we took a chance. We were pleasantly surprised. The rooms had an entrance from inside the hotel. The person checking us in was very pleasant. We asked for a 1st floor room because they do not have elevators and they were very accommodating. The room was as nice as some we have paid a lot more for. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was more than we expected. They had scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffles, yogurt, fruit, and packaged muffins. The dining area was very nice and besides tables had some booths. We will definitely stay here again when we are passing through Macon!

Nice.

The heater was a little busy on our trip. It was 30 degrees outside. The room was a bit chilly. So heat was up to 80. Was a comfortable 72 in the room. Lol. Room has been updated a little. No usb charging ports. So make sure to bring an adapter. Breakfast room was kept clean. After making your waffles, they also had strawberry topping or apple toppings or blueberry toppings. Staff is very friendly.
