The room smells damp, it's unbearable. I had to buy an air freshener.

Although clean, the property could use some updates.
One lady working the first desk the 2nd night we stayed was super rude and tried to kick us out of the pool several times, where as the first night we stayed out til midnight and nobody said anything to us. Other than that the stay was great!
The hotel was in a convenient location for us for a 1 night stay on a long road trip. We did not spend much time at the hotel but it was fine for our needs.
Do not use this property. The room smelled heavily of wet dog and mold. The carpet had stains, the supposedly white sheets looked like they were not washed (had dirt marks bed and on the pillow cases). There were holes in the bedding and the towels. The towels felt grimy. The room needed painting. The bathroom tile was moldy. The walkway leading to the property was littered with trash from an overflowing trash bin. The place was disgusting. The only good thing that was okay was the front desk clerk who moved us to another room without any issue because the first room smelled so bad.
Great location near everything! Rooms were good and spacious. Towels were nice and fluffy. They supply towels for the pool which some of the time were not available. The front desk was kind and helpful. Free breakfast was you got what you paid for and not my cup of tea but I'm sure others would enjoy it.
Room was ok the water pressure was horrible. Pool was not clean the first night but they did clean later. I did have to wipe down the counter it was sticky.

Hotel is located on the side of a hill. Not a lot of walking options for dinner.
Poorly staffed front desk; guests have to wait for a long time for staff to show up to check in or check out. Breakfast is joke - by 8am food is gone, and poor staff member is put in an odd position of having to explain to guests why there is no food - sounds like it is a common issue at this property due to how the owner has it managed. Putting "breakfast included" in room description is a deception to the customer. Ceilings in many areas had stains, chipping paint, and holes around light fixtures (this did not look safe as electrical wires were exposed in some cases). This property was an example of owner/manager not knowing how to run a hotel. Would not stay there again and would not recommend it.

Good. Not great.
Not a bad place for one night. I wouldn't stay there for any longer than that, but it was ok for an evening.

Heck I’m was fine. Back entry to stairs is very dirty. Bathroom and bed was fine. Breakfast was ok along with the coffee. One night to lay our head before seeing Ruby Falls and Rock City which were very nice. Would probably spend more next time than stay here.
