We had a good stay in Locust Grove. Our check-in was a bit slow because I needed to call the hotel in order to track down the front desk clerk. Using the bell on the counter was ineffective. Other than that, the check-in was quick and painless.
The room was good, clean, comfortable and had a working AC unit. The beds were comfortable and outside noise was absent since the hotel was a block or so from the nearest large road. The shower was good with nice pressure and head height.
The hotel provided towels for the pool right at the entrance for convenience. The pool was somewhat small and exposed to the elements so it was a bit warm. Considering the temperature was well into the 90s, the water being warm wasn't a surprise. Still, it was wet and cooler than the air temp.
Breakfast was indicated to start at 6:30am but was hot, fresh, and available at 6:00am We were thankful for this because we wanted to get an early start on our motorcycles before the day's heat set in. We enjoyed the breakfast with the standard scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, breads, fruit options, etc.
An added bonus was the snacks and drinks sold at the front desk. They offered 15.9 oz cokes/pop/sodas, candy bars, chips, that kind of thing and everything was only 1$ each. Fantastic. They also didn't charge for a standard sized water.
The hotel felt safe and we weren't concerned about leaving our bikes unattended overnight in the parking lot.
We'd stay there again.
