Good value for the price. The staff were all very friendly and check in/out was easy. It was about a 15 min ride from lake Lanier which was perfect for us. They have a small pool that you can relax at but it oversees the parking lot so don’t expect privacy. They also have a small fitness center with weights, treadmill, etc. The room was spacious and clean, and the continental breakfast was decent. They also have a free parking lot.
