Was recommended by owners at the I-76 Antique Mall and was VERY pleased. Room had great ligh blocking window treatments, lots of pillows, was very clean and quiet. The ONLY thing that disturbed me about the room was that the A/C fan was kinda noisy even on low. I did not use the pool but it looked like it needed to be vacuumed. The continental breakfast was awesome.

A great choice for travelers coming off I-80. Very convenient, yet far enough off that highway sounds are muted. Also, just steps to a good Mexican restaurant. Good beds, clean bathroom. Excellent overall.

Quick trip with the grandkids

Very comfortable room. Spacious. Great breakfast. The cinnamon rolls are the best!! Friendly staff. The pool is a little small, but the water temperature and room temperature was perfect! We atayed here while visiting some attractions in Canton. Everything that we had planned was about 15 miles away. Lots of construction on the roads, but easy enough to get places. We had trouble with one of the rooms being unreasonably loud at an unreasonable hour. Staff was quick to try to remedy the situation. Everyone we came in contact with was very pleasant.

Because it was 5 stars and the price was a bit higher than others in the area we chose this hotel. We were disappointed. We specifically went here thinking we would get a better experience. Usually we have quick stops so we don’t really care about atmosphere or amenities as long as it’s clean. This was over rated and over priced. We had a couple of room troubles that were made better because of good staff but the place itself does not rate 5 stars
