Convenient location near amenities and restaurants. Guests appreciate comfortable beds, plush pillows, and cleanliness. Staff provide excellent, friendly service, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Is a bit of a drive from Augusta where I was working this month. Distance wise it doesn't seem like it's that far away, but the speed limits are all around 40 mpg. Anyway I got to the hotel and pulled up to the front. There was a small gathering of people smoking out front, just happened to be employees lol. I went inside to check in and it took awhile before someone came around the corner and said hello. It of course was one of the smokers from out front. She checked me in fairly quickly. I looked at the room number on the key sleeve and it said 102. Not happy as I don't like to stay on the first floor. She said "sorry that's all we got". Interesting because my room featured two queen beds and I would've figured it would be more valuable for them to put me in a room with one bed. What was also interesting was there were maybe a half dozen cars in the parking lot, so the hotel was not completely booked when I checked in, but I digress. Room was at the end of the hallway next to the outside door (not safe). Also had a large blower in the hallway trying to dry out the carpet. Smelled horrific. Got set up in my room. Did have plenty of lighting, no tv remote so I had to go fetch that :(. I say fetch it because the front desk refused to answer the phone, guessing they were out for a smoke. The bathroom was cramped and tiny. The shower leaked all over the floor, I about slipped and fell down on multiple occasions as the towel I put down did not soak up all the water. One morning I awoke to find that someone had propped open the outside door with a floor mat overnight. Again not safe. Did not give me peace of mind staying there. When I went to work for the day I hauled all of my valuables out of the room and hid them in the car. Not ideal to say the least. I think I will ask my company to put me in a home rental the next time I stay in the area.

Upset wouldn’t allow late check out.
