Overall pretty quiet, clean comfortable room.Of course you get the occasional idiot that cant use an indoor voice, and cannot close a door properly. That is not the property's fault. The only real drawbacks were very poor "continental breakfast", and the fact their ice machine was not working, and hasn't for quite some time, from the looks of things. A big plus is, they are pet friendly

The room was filthy. Not even sure if it was cleaned. Stains on the wall. Bed linens, and bath linens were stained, threadbare, and appeared used. Walked into the room, checked it out and left. Made a reservation at the Holiday Inn.

Don't judge a book by its cover! The service at Briarwood is courteous and diligent. The outside and surrounding area might be a little run down, but the owners keep the rooms clean and relatively updated. I've stayed in major chains that haven't kept the rooms as nice and charged way more per night. The walls had a fresh coat of paint, wood-laminate floors, larger mini-fridge, microwave, and the bed was comfortable. I would stay here again, especially at these prices!

This was not a good place to stay and would not go back there again!! Beds were lumpy, the linens were stained, and there was no breakfast as advertised. One day, I buzzed them to the front windows. It took a while for them to get there. I asked about the breakfast, and she said it was over. I said the sign on the wall says 6am to 10 am daily. It was like 8:30 or so. She went to the kitchen and turned on the waffle machine, threw stuff on the counter and left. Another guy came in looking for coffee, and there was none. They live on the property, have a young boy who is constantly crying and whining, and rides his bike up and down the hallway. They had already charged my stay to my c.c or I would have left and went somewhere else. There was a young man that stood at the front counter for over an hour waiting for help to get into his room. He left to go get him some breakfast at the local mc donalds, which is where we ended up eating. He rang their buzzer probably 50 times and they would not come to the counter! Just a horrible place!!!
