Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The first room they gave us smelled like an ashtray. We went back to the office and they gave us another room. That room smelled moldy. The whole place seemed rundown. The rooms felt dirty and musty even though they may have tried with new carpet and bedding. We asked for our money back and went to another hotel.
Love staying here!!! Checkin remembers us & puts us in same room so it’s like coming home!!!
There are renovations being completed & every consideration given to customers!
Easy access to best breakfast in Spencer on same tarmac & best brewed coffee on tarmac across street…truly a south T experience!!!
This is a very comfortable place to stay…comfortable beds, handy to breakfast cafe, & a fabulous coffee drive thru in the parking lot across hwy 18!! A great prime steakhouse within 1/2 blk! South T is the place to be…
Rooms are open to the outside, so security marginal. The bathrooms were showing a lot of wear and there were hairs in the bathroom shower when we got there. TV remote battery was low and had to manually operate it. Carpet felt dirty and room was very dark. Not very impressive and glad it was only for one night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The service was amazing. They fixed anything that was wrong and did what they said they would. We would stay there again.
DO NOT BOOK HERE! There were holes in the shower, stains on all of the bedding, I was told housekeeping was off for the weekend, the furniture and bedding had holes, and an adjoining room was complaining about bugs. I spoke with the manager and let him know I was uncomfortable staying there and requested a refund and he screamed at me. He called me greedy and refused to refund my stay. I was traveling for a funeral and exhausted upon arrival. I paid and still chose to leave the room and stay elsewhere due to being uncomfortable and fear of retaliation from the manager.
