This hotel was fantastic! It was very surprising, based on the price, how clean and nice it was! I didn't really expect that, honestly. I was just looking for cheap and no bedbugs for a work stay. I was very pleasantly surprised!! Thanks for keeping things up so nicely!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The price is what pulls you in. The bed was pretty comfortable. The room itself was clean. However, the toilet water smelled enough we added a drop in and sprayed with air freshner. And there is a cash deposit req'd, which you dont get back until staff makes sure you didnt trash your room
Our room was clean and perfectly adequate for our stay. The $40 cash deposit was a little unexpected but it was quickly returned after our 2 day visit in Cookeville.
Door's do not lock. The connecting door to room next door would not lock, moved fridge in front of to help feel more secure? Front door looked as though it had been broken into, the dead bolt lock had been removed. This lock also did not lock so we had to sit office chair in front of at night to feel somewhat more safe? Tissue shoved into eye hole of door, did not touch looked disguisitng. Bathroom looked as though it never been cleaned ever. We did not use shower as it was just that dirty. Lights were outside lights? Bedding had burn holes and smelled horrific. Screaming/fighting was heard all night long. We almost stayed in my truck to feel more safe as I was traveling with my young daughter. She was scared. I will not stay here again, there was nothing nice to say about this stay.
Staff were not nice. They immediately treat you like you're a problem to the property. They do not like out of towners, which is odd becuase Im not sure who else would be staying there. They make you leave a cash deposit. They inspect the room before you can leave and are reluctant to give your deposit back, I had to show that I had detailed video of the room as i entered and upon checking out, which only then did their tone change and my deposit was given back. The staff harrassed me the whole time. As soon as I parked, in a delineated unreserved spot the lady came running out telling me to move my car. She had the excuse that drunk locals would be driving into the lot and run into my car. Then the lady wouldnt let me bring my really nice road bike that doesn't have one flake of dirt on it into my room. She called the room phone as soon as I entered to tell me about the bike, which she then started yelling at me over the phone. She only changed her town when I had expedia rep intervene.
Do yourself a favor and just go somewhere else and save yourself from the negative energy at this place. It took me a while to shed the negativity with meditation and finally get to sleep after midnight after a 13 hour long driving day.
They asked for a $40 cash damage deposit, a first for me! The key didn’t work but the girl at the front desk brought me up a new one so I didn’t have to drag my stuff down to the front desk. The towels were very small and the shower spray….wasn’t actually a spray, it came out like a partially blocked hose. It wasn’t adjustable but I pushed the center of it with my thumb and it worked well after. When checking out I was forced to go to the front desk and then wait for a room inspection that I thought took way too long as I even half made the bed and left it pretty much as I got it. My feeling is that is extremely insulting to make me suffer through your insecurity because sometime someone stole one of your miniature towels.
Wasn’t clean charge extra deposit once you check i
Room was not very clean bathroom was dirty,the blankets on the bed had cigarette burns/holes. Room was very bland and unwelcoming. The outside of the motel looks better than the inside. Also you pay online and then you get there to check in they tell you that you gotta pay another 40 cash deposit.Never saw this advertised on Hotels.com. And when you go to check out they’re reluctantly slow to give you your 40 back. Wouldn’t stay here again. Very disappointed.
We were required to leave a cash deposit, something I've never had to do at any hotel. To check out, owner went and checked the room before returning cash deposit. There were also only smoking rooms available and the smell of second-hand smoke was quite strong.
