Stayed here to get away from tornado weather, out of our mobile home, over our area in Ringgold, GA. It was a nice place and in walking distance to Ruby Tuesday. They have a tornado plan in place for guests and everything and the hotel was even rated for a tornado from what I was told. Great, clean, safe and cozy place to stay during bad weather or anytime.

Ok

Elevator was not working. Didn’t know until we got there. Room was clean. Biggest issue was the lukewarm shower, when turned all the way to “hot”. Total with taxes was $171. I expect a hot shower for that.
