The staff is so sweet and helpful! This is our second time staying here, anytime we plan to go through Tennessee, this is our place! So pet friendly, we just love that there’s a full trail/area around the hotel for pet owners to bring their animals and get their energy out! You can tell how much everyone is enjoying their stay when we got there! There were families enjoying the pool in the rain and everyone was super happy! Stay here if you need a comfortable, affordable, pet safe & friendly place!

ALL Excellent, but the biggestTREASURE was Miss Glenda, in charge of breakfast buffet, always smiling, and so attentive to all of our needs as she kept the breakfast items refurbished. I remember this establishment as having been in Cookeville when I was a faculty member at TTU over 50 years ago. There are reasons that it has survived when various other businesses have folded. Of note, numerous appealing dining options within walking distance.

Great place to stay for the night!
We stopped here for 1 night to and from a trip to Arkansas. Hotel is older but in great condition. Room was clean, bed comfortable, nothing walking around with more than 2 legs. Breakfast was basic but really good, and the staff were wonderful. There is also a Mexican restaurant on the property, and they were delicious. Would definitely stay here again!

Very nice. Room was clean, staff was pleasant. I would certainly recommend. Normally we never pay attention to hotel breakfast, but because of all the notable mentions in other reviews of gluten free options and how wonderful the breakfast was, we decided to check it out. Yes there were a couple of GF cereals, yogurt and fruit. Not sure if the eggs looking product and sausage were but even if they were since they were touching the toast that could be a problem for most people with gluten issues. All the food labels said they contained bioengineered ingredients so we didn’t end up having anything after all but it did look probably a degree better than the typical generic hotel breakfast option. Enjoy I guess!
