Excellent experience. Clean hotel, great location. Ask for a Riverview room. Eddi-Lee was fantastic when I realized I needed to print work materials for my seminar the following day.
Definitely recommend!

The company is very dirty they re use soap that others customers have used. They do not change sheets on the bed if the sheets are not stain then the workers do not change sheets if they realize the sheets does not need changing. This need to be acknowledged by the manager Tammy.

Staff members were friendly and courteous. Restaurant had good food. Rooms were dingy, uncomfortable and poorly lit. Location was not as convenient as we were led to believe. It was at least 10 miles off I-65. The facility needs a remodel. We had lots of difficulty finding out room and we're more than happy to get back on the road early the next morning. Don't plan to lodge there again.
