Room smelled, carpet was soggy and way too expensive for what was offered. Close location to Georgia Southern University. Staff were kind and very friendly. Would have been an acceptable stay at around half the price.

Compared to other hotels in the area the price was fair.
We rolled in around 1045pm and Shay and Samya could not have been more welcoming, especially for a night crew.
The breakfast at Emma’s was solid and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The highlight of this stay was the wonderful breakfast and service from Varie. I don’t usually leave reviews; however, I felt like I definitely had to say something about the delicious breakfast that was served this morning. From the creamy grits and crunchy bacon to the fluffy biscuits and gravy; everything was amazing! Thank you Varie and your team for making me feel at home. I will be definitely be back! 😊

We rented conference room and it was dirty and musty when we arrived. Tables and chairs were filthy dirty and it seemed like no effort was made to prepare the room for our party
