This is not a safe hotel. After talking to the locals, I found out that they rent rooms out by the week and that there is a correction center nearby. There were only 3 other people staying in the hotel and they put a creep in the room next to mine. I saw him outside and he told me not to worry because he’d just been released. That could have been a joke but his license plate was from the county and so he wasn’t on a trip. There were no chain locks or dead bolts on the door- just one door knob that could easily be picked with a credit card. I had to booby trap the door so that I could hear if he opened it while I was sleeping. This was not a peaceful stay.

This place, although the pictures look nice is not what it was… it needs to be updated a lot. There are no amenities. Just the bar basics and you can get other places to go for around the same price with a lot more cleanliness and amenities included. We opted for a bed-and-breakfast instead up the street called the Eagles rest it was excellent.

We enjoyed a very comfortable two nights; it was quiet, but the motel was far from full. The room was spacious with plenty of surfaces to spread out, and it had plenty of lighting. There were some cleanliness issues, but only with the insides of the fridge and microwave; the bathroom and sheets were clean. It was an economical hotel, and we are very satisfied that we got our money's worth. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

It began with not being able to understand the clerk when I checked in. The room was furnished with a smelly chair and scuffed up furniture. The cold tile floors were dirty and the bathroom had a single bulb in a 3 bulb fixture. The towels and wash clothes were thin and worn out. The bathroom vanity was dirty, toilet bowl stained and the toilet seat lid fell off. The bed had a sheet and thin covering with no extra blanket for warmth. Only one bedside lamp worked. The refrigerator had water pooled in the bottom. There was no sound proofing in the walls or ceiling, so we heard the neighbors moving and talking. We stayed one night and forfeited the second nights reservation. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

I had a decent stay near Reelfoot Lake — definitely about a 2-star hotel. I appreciated that the room had tile floors instead of carpet, though they weren’t very clean or well-kept. The door barely locked, which was a bit concerning, and there were dogs barking throughout the night, making it hard to rest. That said, I was thankful to find a place at the last minute, and it served its purpose for a quick overnight stay.

If you just need a bare-bones no-frills room to spend a night before hunting at Reelfoot and your expectations are low, then this will probably do. Otherwise, keep in mind that there is no WiFi, no inside deadbolt on the room door, and the property is very dark at night. Also, although we asked for a non-smoking room, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I would not come back.

Homegate Inn is an older property and there is some noticeable wear and tear on the exterior. My room appears to have been updated recently with new bedding and furniture. Had a nice tv with tons of channels. Heat and air worked very well. Plenty of hot water. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nice desk and chair, tv, large fridge with freezer, coffee maker, dresser, large closet. Bath was clean and nice. Check-in was fast and easy. Owner and staff were friendly and attentive. Reelfoot Lake is directly across the street and is a beautiful area. Dining, gas, shopping is closeby, though it is a small town. This was my second stay and I will stay again, I'm sure.

Gave us a room they KNEW had no working shower (not even a nozzle to pull for a shower) w/o even a rubber stopper to fill the tub. Had to bathe as if we were down by the crick. Room was not clean, they charge $3 for a small bucket of ice, We were there several days, and NOT ONCE did they empty the trash cans, give us clean towels, or change the sheets in our room. We had to bag & sit our room trash on the walkway to get them to take it, and we had go to the office and ask for our own towels and the wifi password. But -- there is an envelope in the room with a handwritten note stating that a maid service tip is appreciated. We only stayed there because it was the only hotel close to our family.

Trailers behind the property. Pool was empty except for green slime. Room was so dirty, walls dirty, trim dirty and damaged. Door damaged and you could see daylight around it. Bath fixtures rusty and dirty. A cherry was in the sink. Tub did not have a stopper but clogged with black hair. Light fixture in bath only had 1 bulb in it, other sockets empty and exposed. We only stayed because there were no rooms at other hotels but found one the next am. I paid for 2 nights and want my money back and these people closed. Health Dept should be notified.

You get what you pay for

The only positive thing about this motel is that is 1 mile from Reelfoot Lake State Park. There was convenience, but nothing else. The room was so worn and dirty. I hated even getting into the bed. The mattresses were saggy and thin. The paint was chipped. There were marks on the walls. The plaster was ripped off by the shower. The toilet seat and the toilet paper holder were so bad. It was one of the few places we could stay at to go to the Eagle festival and the price was right. Ha ! the price was very wrong. We should never have thought that the pictures showed a very inexpensive room with decent accommodations. The safety lock on the door was broken and the locks on the door were from the 1960s or 70s. The key was an old-fashioned key with the room number on it. There was light coming through the door into the room. Even I could have broken down the door. We will never stay there again. We will stay north of the state park and travel just so we feel that we are in a clean environment. I wish I would’ve taken pictures just to show you how poor a condition this motel is in.
