The only good thing I can say about this property was the man at the front desk. He was very kind and unstanding when after going to my room and seeing how awful it was he was understanding that I couldn't stay there. The room was old and very run down. The bed had cigarette burns and stains all over it, along with many hairs in the sheets. The bathroom was stained and dirty looking. The door to the room had a huge gap under it that all kinds of critters could crawl under it. I did not feel safe there and left to find another hotel to stay at. I am shocked this place is listed on Expedia!

Not sure why the staff didn’t immediately recognize they had the wrong door. My room did show signs of water damage in the vicinity of the shower head and above the mirror over the sink. Also, the tab handle bar was missing, the drain stopper was sitting on the shower wall shelf, and both the entry and bathroom doors had been damaged at some point in the past. I took photos and shared with management, who looked surprised.

Overall good stay

My stay was for business purposes. I arrived late at night and left early. The room was clean and comfortable. Albeit the hotel was obviously an older one, the room was clean and everything worked fine. Both front desk clerks with whom I had interactions, were friendly and professional. I do have to say that, even though I arrived too late to use the pool, it was not only out of service, but also served as a large frog pond.

Filthy, horrible service.

This was by far, the most filthy hotel I have ever stayed in. The bathtub was filthy. The shower curtain was gross. The towels were threadbare had a Holiday Inn logo tag; comical!) The sheets had stains. The photos on the hotel website showed a coffee maker, there was none. There was an ironing board, but no iron. Not, one, single coat hanger. No housekeeping, bed was never made. I was charged $86 per room (2rooms) and when I made a polite complaint, I was told ‘no refunds and I was literally screamed at by not one, but two managers. The chair was filthy, with stains. There was no clock or phone. It was a hideous room; a $40 room, at best, yet I was charged $82 dollars. The ice maker had mold growing on the dispenser. The snack machine was completely empty. The was garbage piled in front of my room for 3 days. Cigarette butts everywhere. My credit card was billed and after being told no refunds, I had little choice to find another hotel. The website offered free breakfast, which was non-existent. The pool was atrocious.

For the location (Forest City/Spindale) and the price per night, I was blown away. I thought for sure with how cheap it was there would at least be roaches in the rooms? But they were very clean, staff was friendly, and I would be happy to stay again. However, just know going into it that this isn’t the Hilton or some other upscale hotel, it’s affordable, and they do this very well.

Worst ever! The shower curtain was ripped, the shower wall had a giant crack, the ceiling in the bathroom had a crack, 2 walls definitely had water damage. The mattresses were old and a very springy and just very uncomfortable. The bedding had cigarette burns, 80% of the outlets didn’t work. Dried snot on the walls. It was a nonsmoking room, but smelled of smoke. Breakfast was advertised and pictured, and just wasn’t a thing. There was no phone in the room to call the front desk. Nothing was as advertised. The only “plus” was friendly service. Will never stay here again.

Bed smells like BO place is a dump

This place is a dump. There were bugs in the bathroom, bed smelled like BO. Half an inch of daylight under the door. Security lock on door didn’t work. Window sill rotted, curtain tattered. They won’t let you in the lobby for security reasons. When I told them I was unhappy and checking out early (the next day) they refused to refund all of the nights I didn’t stay. I found an ABB $20 a night cheaper, and they earned my 5 star review.

We were set to check in on a Friday. I took my daughters to Dollywood for the day & planned to stay here because one child had a dance competition the following day & it was closer to the town we needed. While at the park the lady from the hotel called me stating she had no one to work 3rd shift & was leaving at 9pm for the night & needed us there asap. We had a 2.5hr drive to the hotel. We immediately left the theme park & drove straight to the hotel. No bathroom or food stops. After getting checked in & going in the room, no lights worked in the room except the bathroom lights. There was no remote for the tv. The towels, wash cloths & bedding were stained with what appeared to be black grease. This morning the shower wouldn't come on so my daughters couldn't take a shower before the competition. The knob just kept spinning like something was stripped inside. This is the worst experience I've ever had a hotel in my life & we travel alot.

This was the most disgusting place I’ve ever been. The place was run down and our room had been made but NOT cleaned. There was hair on the sheets and pillowcases, fresh blood stains on the bed cover and the room had been smoked in. The door was beaten up as if someone tried breaking in. I was required to pay a $100 deposit in addition to the cost of the room. The deposit was to cover any damage we made to the room during our stay and if we smoked in the room. Obviously we canceled the room and the deposit was refunded. Also upon our arrival the computer was down and we were asked to come back later. The desk staff was nice but highly incompetent to be running a motel.

Do not stay here, the rooms are rented out long term to the local homeless population. Nothing personal against these folks, but the hotel had the feel of low-income apts. Building is in poor condition, bathroom is horrible, walls crumbling around shower, etc. Walls were so thin I could 'smell' & 'hear' the 'party' going on all night looooong, got very little 'needed' sleep.
