It would be nicer if the rooms where updated, not so dull and dated. Doesn't have to be modern, just updated with new fresh beds and more vibrant and fresh looking.

We always love to stay at The Great Southern as it is centrally located making it easy to get to everywhere we need to go. Our only small disappointment is that the showers have extremely low pressure which does not make for an enjoyable shower. Other than that all is good! Merry Christmas to all!
