Travel tips
Being just off Interstate 85 makes the hotel easy to reach by car, and its proximity to Tiger Town shopping (under a mile) is handy for errands or a quick meal.

What guests say
Guests frequently praise the daily hot breakfast, calling out the coffee, orange juice, and overall breakfast quality as a highlight, along with fresh coffee available at check-in. Staff service is another recurring positive theme, with specific mentions of quick, friendly check-in and a helpful staff member named Teresa.
