“First and foremost the staff here is wonderful!! From the front desk, to the housekeepers, to the maintenance gentleman and the dining staff and cook (fresh made omelets are delicious)...I cannot say enough about all of them. That alone will have me recommending this location to anyone. The ONLY thing this hotel could use is a refresh of the rooms (more comfortable beds) and maybe a little updating in the lobby. Great first experience in Macon for me!”
