Second time we’ve stayed at this property within a 6 day period. The first time it was still a Best Western Plus. When we retuned this weekend it had just changed over to a Sonestra property. Both times the rooms were clean, but so require some updates. The floor lamp in our room was damaged and the bulb was hanging on via wires only. It’s a safety hazard so we reported it at checkout. The rooms are a sizable. Both times our rooms had desk & chair & a lounger. The bathroom is a good size. The hot water& shower pressure are great (4th floor) room. Breakfast is typical of a hotel at this level. Eggs, sausages, toast, pastries, cereal. NO GLUTEN FREE items. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Hotel is a short drive to several eateries, Walmart, and shopping.

Property is clean, room was spacious. Included microwave & dorm size refrigerator. Shower had excellent water pressure & was hot. There were some things in the room that showed wear & tear. (The lock was missing from bathroom door.) Staff was friendly. Breakfast was ok, but they do not have any gluten free safe options. A lot of hotels have boiled eggs, but this one doesn’t. Husband said his breakfast was pretty good. We are planning to stay there again on our way back to FL. Lots of dining options nearby (within 10 mi)

The room itself was just ok. Very clear that some remodeling had been done. The bathroom wasnt the cleanest. The place reeked of purple fabuloso. The front desk person was miserable. They also put a $50 hold for incidentals that takes days to come off. This isnt on the listing. I would spend the extra few dollars and stay at one of the other 4 properties that are right there.

The lobby is nice, but the rooms desperately need updating. Carpets were stained and felt dirty, didn’t want to walk barefoot. The shower tile was chipped and stained. The towels and bedding were cheap and scratchy.

I recently stayed this hotel & unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. After the housekeeping staff cleaned my room, there was an overwhelming smell that resembled a wet, dirty dog. It was so strong that I nearly felt sick upon entering. I was surprised to learn that pets are allowed in the hotel, and I believe there should be better measures in place for cleaning pet-friendly rooms, such as using specialized vacuums to mitigate these odors. Additionally, I encountered a problem with the shower. The temperature knob would frequently fall to a dangerously high setting, making it difficult to use safely. I had to hold it in place for my daughter during her bath to prevent any chance of scalding. Overall, I expected a more pleasant stay given the hotel’s reputation. I hope they address these issues to enhance the experience for future guests.

The front desk clerk was very kind. The first room we were out in was dirty. Makeup on the bedding. Bathroom was damaged. The tub was taped together and pouring water. It wouldn't turn off. The second room we were put in smelled horrible and the air condition was not working. The third room we were put in was better.

i booked this hotel while i visited with my boyfriend graduating from basic training in fort moore. the hotel itself is beautiful, but there were several nasty stains on the wall of the bathroom that appear to be feces, as well as the sink leaking and leaving water all over the floor which i will notify them of again when i check out. we did however like the pool and the option to eat breakfast for free. i would come back again, but maybe to a different room.
