Best Western Plus Rose City Conference Center Inn
The king bed room was large and clean. Comfortable bed. Staff was very nice, we needed more covers for bed since the night we stayed the temperature had dropped to low 30s they were very nice to bring up blankets. Breakfast was plentiful and good.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Thomasville by IHG
Friendly staff and clean room. Breakfast was very good- eggs, sausage, biscuit, cereal and pancakes were some of what was offered. Location is great- near to several dining options including Longhorn and What-a-burger. Publix is also nearby. I would definitely stay here again.

We stay here a couple times a year when we are in town visiting grandchildren. It is nothing fancy at all, but we only sleep there and it's clean and affordable.
