beachgurl Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 quick update on quality in person...This is off of 20 at exit 200. Tons of construction on 20- all through Augusta. Easy to see and drive to. Doesn't look like much from the freeway.Parking is plentiful and front lobby area is very nice and stylish. Pool is very clear and pleasant. Laundry facilties are high efficiency front loaders. Front desk service is better than many. Guest Market in lobby with soft drinks, snacks and some frozen. No vending on floors. Ice machines on 2 floors. Full size fridge and micro in room with prep area. Rooms are fully updated and frankly have a look considerably above most 2 and many 2.5 star properties. There is a seating area across from the kitchen prep area with sofa bed/ corner sectional with large coffee table. Work desk area for two- two complete desks/ chairs. Bed is upgraded pillow top style with very nice bedding. Plenty of subdued lamps. Pleasant, updated decor. Nice size closet, cabinets and even the tub/tile/flooring in bath are redone. No yucky grout here. Very clean. Comp. breakfast in lobby. Looks like this will be the property I will try to get whenever visiting in Augusta.As a price comparison...not only is this a great value, but the Motel 6 in this area has a daily $45 rate and I've seen the halls and inside the rooms...just say no.
AaronJB Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Glad you are pleased with your stay - thanks for the update/details. :)
