Good

Poorly staffed front desk; guests have to wait for a long time for staff to show up to check in or check out. Breakfast is joke - by 8am food is gone, and poor staff member is put in an odd position of having to explain to guests why there is no food - sounds like it is a common issue at this property due to how the owner has it managed. Putting "breakfast included" in room description is a deception to the customer. Ceilings in many areas had stains, chipping paint, and holes around light fixtures (this did not look safe as electrical wires were exposed in some cases). This property was an example of owner/manager not knowing how to run a hotel. Would not stay there again and would not recommend it.

Good. Not great.
Not a bad place for one night. I wouldn't stay there for any longer than that, but it was ok for an evening.

Heck I’m was fine. Back entry to stairs is very dirty. Bathroom and bed was fine. Breakfast was ok along with the coffee. One night to lay our head before seeing Ruby Falls and Rock City which were very nice. Would probably spend more next time than stay here.
We stayed here for one night and it was ok. We have some complaints. The air conditioning didn't get cold enough making it uncomfortable to sleep. Our fitted sheet had some kind of damage near the foot area which was rough and crunchy so we slept on top of the top sheet to avoid touching that. The tile by the shower was barely hanging on to the wall due to water damage. Wouldn't take much to fix it and have a better appearance. Breakfast offered eggs and pork sausage which had been microwaved, make your own waffles, yogurt, muffins, biscuits, cereal, juice, and apples. Not the best hotel breakfast but not the worst we've ever seen either. Location was convenient right off the highway. Sufficient but not top of my list to visit again.
Hotel was great! Nice and quiet and within range of various food options. Close to a walmart as well so would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Breakfast was a bust. No food or coffee available at 8 am. Very surprised by this. Nothing was being restocked. Room was clean needs some cosmetic updates. Check in was excellent check out no one around so there’s that
The bed was great, the room smelled somewhat musty and the carpet felt a little damp, but we enjoyed our time there. Breakfast was good too coffee taste great
Room smelled strongly of smoke, and we realized the smoke detector had been taken from our room. Confronted front desk, and she didn’t seem surprised or do anything about it. Breakfast was fine. It’s what we expected for the price.
Near $300 for one night stay. Picture missing from wall, plastic bag and towel taped over smoke detector, refrigerator leaking on floor, cigarette burns in comforter (non smoking room) and stains on sheets and bed. Not what I was expecting for the cost and room pics posted hotel site. Front desk was helpful and courteous. Tried to make it right changing sheets and making fire detector operational. Would not recommend.
Had to change rooms because of heavy smoke smell in hallway and in room the second room was ok paint was falling from ceiling in bathroom and rust on sprinkler head in bathroom common hallways smelled moldy that’s what the low room rating was about also in the first room my wife likes to pull off bedding to look for bed bugs but what she found was a blood and urine stained mattress however the staff was great

Disliked: Cleanliness
Old sheets and towels. We had some good towels but some towels were old with holes in them. Sheets were not clean. There were several hair pieces on the sheets along being on the bedspread. Bathroom sink was stopped up.
We stayed here for two night and to be honest we were not impressed at all , starting with Air conditioner going for a whole 5hrs and fire extinguisher cord was exposed.
The property was overpriced for the conditions of the hotel. Towels were dirty, the appliances were worn and dated and television service was spotty. Staff was pleasant.

Room was musty and carpet damp feeling in spots near bathroom. Bathroom molding was missing and damaged. Towel rack was too close to toilet
The lobby was clean and pleasant. Stay was friendly. I checked in not knowing it was a pet friendly hotel. The pictures on the site is just a selling point. Room 100 was the first room they gave me, went to the room as soon as i opened the door I wss instantly hit with a mold and mildew odor. I asked for another room 238 apperance was clean. Carpet shouldn't be in a pet friendly hotel. I could smell the urine. You must invest into your property in order to gain positive feed back. Ceiling in the hall on first floor had water damage and they had a barrel under it. Will I book here again, that will be a No. Unless there is a major renovation. The elevator need a good inspection, its on the last limb. You need more staff for maintenance and housekeeping, mom and dad are not able. Do away with trying to save money and hire some staff besides family. No guest laundry or iron or ironing boards in the room. Needs a major upgrade. Get rid of that carpet.
The property is old. It is extremely overpriced for the quality of room accommodations being provided. The pool is filled with hair, room smells of chemicals from new flooring, there's toilet paper shoved in a hole in the wall, and rusty metal attached to the shower wall.
There was a large bucket in the hall catching water from a celling leak. And there was a spot in our room that wasn’t leaking but there was a stain from a previous leak. The room had an odd Oder. There were several strands of long hair found on the sheets.
