Great hotel, friendly staff and very clean!
I have stayed at just about all of the hotels right off this exit, and this one is by far the best! Very clean, comfortable beds, good breakfast and is far enough off the interstate that you don't hear every vehicle going down the road on I-65.

Decent
Stopped on our way home from the beach. Front desk staff was super friendly! We appreciated her. Our room overall seemed clean, but smelled of pet urine. I understand it’s a pet friendly hotel. Beds were comfortable and clean, but I felt the carpet needed a major cleaning.

Great place to stop for the night. It was clean, quiet and close to the interstate. We are traveling with our dogs and they gave us a 1st floor room close to the back door and dog walk area. The check in person was excellent! Would definitely recommend!!
