    The property was amazing. All the amenities were well worth it. It exceeded my expectations. Other than that I was not very pleased with the treatment from the staff. They told me that when I was attempting to check in at 2:30 PM that there were no rooms available that I had to come back. I came back at about 2:55 pm and they stated no rooms were available only to find out that my room was checked in at 8:54 am that morning so that means that had they just checked my name they would’ve been able to kind of go ahead and check me in, but they didn’t even do their due diligence to do so, which caused my entire experience with the staff to be unpleasant.

    This property was absolutely beautiful and the rooms are top notch however when we arrived it was late and we were super tired. As we entered the room it smelled like garbage.. after unloading and putting our pre teens to bed i did some investigating and sure enough under tge sink there was two medium sized bags of garbage. One of them containing 5 to 10 dirty diapers and it was right then we k ew that terrible smell was indeed just that. I spoke to the front desk and he offered to move us but it was just too late for all that. He said that the .anager would probably comp us our room or so.ething however we never heard from them nor were any of the charges dropped. Kinda disappointing but not surprised.. aside from this issue this property is amazing.

    The cleanliness was horrible. We bought food in the lobby. I had to return chocolate milk because it was expired by two weeks. Other food in the freezer were so damp the cardboard was starting to degrade. We had problems with the toilet. They wanted us to come down to the lobby to get a plunger. The tea and sugar in the room had gotten wet previously and was clumped and gross. We will not be staying again.

    We visit this area quite often. The hotel is not far from the hotel where we would normally stay. Check-In was bit of a drag, however they apologized and we were able to leave our belongings with them to go and get lunch. The lady that checked us in had unpacked our things off the trolley into our room once we returned. The area is full of any and everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable. Although they didn’t have breakfast available the rooms have mini kitchens which is always a plus when you’re traveling with family. I would stay here again!

    The entire experience was excellent! The young lady at the front desk on 8/23/25 (around 12:30–1:00 PM) was outstanding. I arrived earlier than expected, and she kindly provided me with an early check-in. She was also very patient and understanding when I called for help with directions after I got a little turned around. Her professionalism and kindness truly made my stay even better. Thank you for the wonderful service!

    Everything was great except I had a lot of mold in my air conditioner unit. You visibly could see it on the outside and in the vent. I did let the front desk know twice but no one came to my room to take care of it. I had turn the air conditioner off the entire time because I did not want to breathe it in. So it was but warm but the hotel was full so I couldn't switch rooms. Otherwise a great stay. Staff was friendly, a nice mini market with reasonable prices, clean, and easy check in and check out! I would stay again but without the mold.

We were also told we would get some kind of compensation such as additional points. Nothing has been said to us since. This is totally unsatisfactory and our next stay in McDonough will be somewhere else.
