Our check in was smooth, we arrived super early and was allowed to get our room immediately. This was great since we were on the road for a number of hours. They were pleasant to deal with.

We left after we saw the room we were staying in. Very dirty.. Towels had stains and pillows were yellow. We only were going to stay there due to the Holiday Inn being completely booked.

Overall pretty quiet, clean comfortable room.Of course you get the occasional idiot that cant use an indoor voice, and cannot close a door properly. That is not the property's fault. The only real drawbacks were very poor "continental breakfast", and the fact their ice machine was not working, and hasn't for quite some time, from the looks of things. A big plus is, they are pet friendly

The room was filthy. Not even sure if it was cleaned. Stains on the wall. Bed linens, and bath linens were stained, threadbare, and appeared used. Walked into the room, checked it out and left. Made a reservation at the Holiday Inn.

Don't judge a book by its cover! The service at Briarwood is courteous and diligent. The outside and surrounding area might be a little run down, but the owners keep the rooms clean and relatively updated. I've stayed in major chains that haven't kept the rooms as nice and charged way more per night. The walls had a fresh coat of paint, wood-laminate floors, larger mini-fridge, microwave, and the bed was comfortable. I would stay here again, especially at these prices!

Good place to lay your head
The room was comfortable. The refrigerator froze all of our stuff, so that was a little annoying. The sheets were stained up, but appeared to be clean. The service was friendly and good. The breakfast they offer was sub par at best. For a place to lay your head without spending an ungodly amount it was totally worth it. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Unappreciated
Service was very unfriendly. Knocked on my door 10:30 ,11 , and 11:15 for check out. Breakfast was poor, only waffle or cereal. There is not much els available around town and thats what keeps them in business. Next time i will stay somewhere different if the service is better.
