Stay away!
I booked this place in JANUARY, I get to the hotel Friday and they can’t find me in their system, tell me they don’t use hotels.com. Haven’t used hotels.com for a while. Their boss said sorry we don’t have anything for you. Luckily it was a pay at the property deal and they didn’t get any money from us. Luckily we went down the street and found a room, attendant told us to be glad we didn’t stay there cause the place is bad news……..

Nasty Place
This was probably the worst room I have ever booked. It was so terrible that I left and didn’t stay there. First, the condition on the outside was scary. There was water leaking everywhere, trash in the parking lot and numerous stray cats wandering around. Terrible parking. Only 1 way in and out. Inside was terrible: reeked of cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking; roaches ran across the table; a board was rotting next to the shower. To add to it, a bay was constantly crying next door and the walls are super thin. Lastly, I tried to get my money back but they said it was unrefundable because I booked online. I argued and finally got half back. Oh, the price was outrageous to begin with. I will never set foot anywhere near the place again.

Response from Stephen Frazier on 20 Sept 2021
I am very sorry to hear of your experience. The half refund was given as it was 11:15 PM, 7 hours after your check in. I would have gladly given you a full refund if any issues were raised earlier. The price was still the cheapest room in town available online by almost half. I do apologize for the baseboard and it has been replaced. Thank you for letting us know. I also have spoken with our front desk staff, as having an online reservation does not affect refund status. That was a miscommunication on our part. I also apologize for the A/C unit condensation. Summer is almost over!!

I think there is an effort underway to improve and spruce up the inn. My room was very adequate although it could have used new sheets, blanket and bed spread and the curtain was hanging down on one end and did not cover the window completely. I was concerned when I checked in that the property might be used by hourly renters. There was a sign in the small lobby saying you had to file any complaints about your room within fifteen minutes. I could not get on line although they had signs posted about the password. I put in a call for a wake up call at 730, and I got a call at 630 with someone telling me that they had seen I requested a wakeup call but no one had written down the time. That was particularly unfortunate. I got to sleep at 12:15 but at 4:15 the people in the next room began to make a lot of noise, talking loudly, banging on the headboard at one point, and going in and out of the room banging the door each time. I finally got back to sleep around 530 and then had that most unwelcome wakeup call at 630. At that point I gave up, packed up and got on the road home. I had hoped to see old friends in Atlanta for brunch, but with an eight hour drive ahead of me even if I didn't go to Atlanta, I canceled the Atlanta plan and headed home, stopping to nap along the way - truly exhausted.

I am very disappointed to hear of this experience. We certainly go through laundry supplies quickly so I will look into that aspect of your review. We have professionals come out monthly to spray so I will also see what can be done differently. I have not heard of any issues with hot water but will be having that room checked this morning. Again, I am sorry to hear of this experience and I want you to know that it will be addressed.

The office staff was friendly and courteous Room was clean, towels could have been much better. Bad thing is that there iwas too much noise during the night. People making noise in the parking lot and dogs barking. The walls are also so thin that if someone is talking very loud in the toom next door you can hear their conversatuon. Slept very little because of the noise.

It was a cold nite and the heater worked great. The bathtub had no stopper for a bath but maint. man did bring a xtra wash cloth to help with. Towels were mighty small and the bed needed replacing. The $80 for the room total was a bit much i think. Night and day check in employees were friendly.

This property is in extremely poor condition and should not be offered as an option on Expedia.com. Several of the windows to the rooms were broken and covered with random signage duct taped in place. My room had a door leading to what used to be a kitchenette that is now non-functional and covered in filth. The walls were so thin that it was just as easy to hear my neighbors as it was to hear the person in the same room. The door to our room would not lock except when we were inside of it, so there was no way to safely leave our belongings in our room while we were not there. We checked out after several minutes of assessing the situation and decided that driving through the night would be safer. To describe this hotel as shady would be a compliment.

I was to have a smoke-free room, but the room smelled of smoke. The sheets and the room were not cleaned prior to my arrival or during my stay. The room had roaches, even in the small refrigerator that was provided by the facility. The customer that a-joined my room was loud and smoked, so the noise and the smoke made sleeping difficult. The facilities, overall, were not maintained.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your troubles. I invite you to reach out to us on a non-unanimous way so that we can pinpoint the room in question. I can use this as a teaching opportunity to housekeeping and front desk staff to improve our service moving forward. We do have brand new rooms that are just a little more money that probably would have suited your needs better. Again, thank you for the feedback!

I'm 67 years old and I've traveled a lot. This place was the absolute worst place I've EVER stayed. The rate which was just under $75 a night should have been $25. The room only had a desk chair and insufficient lamps. The bedding was disgusting. The place smelled. The gutters were broken at the office and you got soaked just coming in the door. They tried to charge me a 5% penalty for using a credit card but I refused. You need to drop this place from your listing options,
