"I can't speak highly enough about this hotel, the 2 gentleman who worked the desk (sorry I didn't get their name), the peace and quiet, and the location! I moved my son into Tech this weekend, and this hotel was the perfect distance from the college, restaurants, sams, Walmart, omg everything you can think of that you would need. Thank you so much to the head of housekeeping (short, thin lady), and the front desk clerk (one of the gentlemen I mentioned earlier) for letting me check out late. I needed to come back and change after church and I didn't get done with church until 1230. I was so grateful for that bit of kindness shown. Please acknowledge all that were mentioned......preferably monetary. They kept the hotel running and should be appreciated! #spreadingtheword"
