The hotel offers amazingly spacious rooms with all-new appliances at home, including a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 3 32-inch TVs, and a dining area. However, the rooms couldn't be closed off completely from the bathroom and vanity area.

The rooms were like a dream come true, with all new appliances that made me feel right at home. They were incredibly spacious, and I loved having a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and even 3 32-inch TVs to enjoy. The only downside was that the rooms couldn't be completely closed off from the bathroom and vanity area.

It was great that they went the extra mile to accommodate our preference for the floor we wanted to stay on.

The location of the hotel was clean and conveniently situated just off US Highway 43 within the town, with a good selection of restaurants nearby. However, there was a slight issue with a bad smell and dead bugs around the pool, and the hot tub was out of order. Despite these minor drawbacks, the hotel's proximity to the town and its amenities made it a decent stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, with separate sitting, working, and sleeping areas, although I had to deal with a slight smell initially that I managed to freshen up. The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff offering various helpful services. The location, although clean and updated, felt a bit confining, but it was convenient being off US Highway 43 with access to restaurants in Florence, Alabama. The dining options were varied and satisfying. Additional perks like the evening buffet were a nice touch. However, the pool area had a few issues like a malfunctioning hot tub and some dead bugs around, which was a bit off-putting.
