Baymont by Wyndham Marion

Baymont by Wyndham Marion

10/10 Excellent
"Two story, access from the inside. Great location. Close to Cracker Barrel, a couple of convenience stores/gas stations and a laundry mat, Great parking, A/C worked great. Nothing missing, broken or not working. Lots of hot water. I arrived a day before my 2-day reservation and wanted to stay an extra day. They were able to accommodate my request. They said I had to come back to the desk the next day and check out before the check out time and check back in. I thought that was odd, but no where close to a deal breaker. I ended up staying yet another night - after my 2-day reservation. Quiet nights, comfortable bed, within walking distance to food. I'd stay there again."
