Good
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : We checked-in early and front-desk woman was very pleasant and helpful. Very good First Impression. Place looked fresh and inviting. Everything nearly perfect for this 'level of lodging.' Later that same evening I stopped by and let the woman at front desk I would be giving the place a very good rating. Would I stay there again? Absolutely: Yes. And would recommend (with qualifications under "What didn't you like?").
  : Was told at Check-In that breakfast was from 6a to 9a. Went to breakfast at 8a (not 8:10, or 8:15 or 8:25). 8am. First thing I noticed was the breakfast/food tables were very clean (almost like, "not in service"). Looked around for biscuits and gravy. No biscuits and gravy, bowl was scrapped nearly clean. Breakfast room attendant was close by, and I asked for more Biscuits and Gravy. "There isn't any more." That was disappointing! And, it was 8am. NOT 8:45/8:50, etc. The other breakfast choices were good and adequate. However, driving in the southeast US I have found that Biscuits and Gravy are on most breakfast choices. And so advised Attendant (think supervisor might have been leaning in entrance to prep area) disappointment. And that it would changing my rating of the place. Also, plenty of noise of washing utensils etc. Like, Breakfast was nearly over. That single incident changed my attitude about this lodging. That being said, I began seeing issues (like the soiled toilet bowel near the Reception Desk was STILL soiled as it was the previous afternoon (certainly had not been cleaned/or checked). I remain curious as to how 'no more biscuits and gravy at 8am changed my view of that lodging so much.....
