Not bad for the price
The hotel is basic but adequate for the price. Don't count on a good wifi connection. Will stay there again for my next quick visit to the Okefenokee Swamp. The young man at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and cheerful.

Quiet, clean room. Helpful host. Programmed key needed re-program next morning. One electrical outlet held phone phone charger too loosely to allow charge.
