Myself and my son walked in for about five minutes and left to find another hotel to stay at for 3 days. It was completely different than what the pictures showed on the site Expedia needs to take it of there website until they can clean it up

The building was rundown. The toilet wasn’t even fastened down to the floor. There was roach bugs everywhere. The carpet was stained and wet. My last day there no water all day and night. So I left early. Also there was police there a couple of times

Just don't go there. Supposedly non smoking property- our room smelled of smoke, had to get deodorizer spray. No coffee maker, no hair dryer, smoke detector was opened up with no battery, paint peeling. Just an awfullplace.

This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, beating the low bar set by a red roof inn in Akron. First room given was trashed. Obviously no cleaning done in there. The proprietor, who was a very nice guy, scrambled to find another room where it was obvious he just quickly made up the beds. The room was filthy, and i have a pretty high tolerance for filth. Something sticky on the AC, which took several hours to cool down the room. Cigarette holes in sheets (non- smoking room), falling apart cabinet, disgusting bathroom, and bugs chewing on me through the night. If i would have known, i would have saved my money and slept in my vehicle.

The hotel was in shambles. Half the carpet was missing and we were walking in concrete. The walls were filthy!!! No la.p shades. Looked like the bathroom walls was painted with a $3 can of paint. The room had a terrible smell!!! We will never, and I mean never stay there again!!!

Linens were clean, but stained. Several roaches crawling from a bathroom light switch up the walls. Carpet very soiled with dirt. No box springs, just a mattress on a built up wooden platform. But the fridge and cable worked well. This property needs a lot of work or the Couny should take some action. I'm not even sure if my bathroom sink drain was connected......

It was rough. People living in cars in the parking lot. Found out in our second night that even hen we set the deadbolt on our door lock it still opened! Sheets were stained, comforters were ripped. Bathroom door was warped so bad it would not close.

Final straw was when people kept randomly knocking on the door beside us asking this guy “for a light.” I don’t know how random person after random person would just decide to go to this same room on the second floor of this hotel other than to buy drugs. It’s not rocket science LOL. We bailed.

Weigh your options

This place serves its purpose. We went through and stayed for one night and then onto the next town. None of us slept well. The beds were very uncomfortable. Rooms are all outdated and some need to have repairs done. The person working the front desk was so high/out of it that he almost gave us free rooms for no reason. One of our groups key card didn't work on the door and, instead of just getting them a new key card, the guy from the front desk just came up and unlocked it with his master key. What if we were staying there multiple nights and needed to leave? Parking was fine, location isn't terrible. If your popping through for a late night rest real fast, perfectly fine. I don't suggest a full days stay

Second time we've stayed here and we were expecting it to be better than last year. We were wrong. Still had the same abandoned vehicle in the parking lot (apparently used for storage). Area that should have been for coffee and continental breakfast had furniture stacked and covered. A section of the tile floor in lobby was under repair. Exterior wood needed paint. Smoke detector in room did not have a battery (and battery compartment was open - this was plainly visible). Chain/secondary latch on the door was non-functional. No soap in room, though there were four shampoo envelopes. Had two bath towels first night and a wash cloth, but by second night only a single towel (the one we didn't use) remained. We had to ask the folks sitting just outside the door smoking marijuana to move down since the odor was coming in under the door. Bed was comfortable, though the pillows were a bit stiff. It looked like the room had been recently renovated, but the walls were still scuffed and the room door was discolored from dirt. Pool was covered, mostly. The place looked totally full, so there is clearly demand at this price point, and the location is good, but management needs to pay more attention to building maintenance and the details - all of them. Unlikely to stay here again, price is good but not worth putting up with the problems. If the county finds out about the lack of functional smoke detectors (a repeat from last year) they will probably shut the place down.

Upon arrival l could soon see that this property is a dump! Whilst exiting my car I could smell the smoke from the ground floor rooms as the doors were open and I was 30 metres away! The manager offered a ground floor room for my 4 night stay. Which I rejected! Apart from no breakfast facilities the bottom fitted sheet was inside out so straight away I thought that they save on washing and use twice! Old room fittings, doors hanging off vanity cabinet, shabby old shower screen, bathroom door has had several repairs but not replaced, tv volume would not turn down, furniture was tired and brush painted years ago, pillows needed to be replaced. My initial thought was that this building should be knocked down and replaced with new owner/managers. The manager walks into each room with his dog. The breakfast room was full of dirty laundry and doors were hanging from the cabinets. As it was a big event weekend l had no choice but to stay as everything nearby was booked out.
EXPEDIA, YOU NEED TO SOMEHOW INSPECT THESE DODGY PROPERTIES BEFORE YOU PUT UP ON YOUR WEBSITE/LISTINGS. YOU WILL ONLY GET BAD REPORTS AND WILL DAMAGE EXPEDIA’S NAME!

This property does not deserve even one star. I did not stay tho I had pre-paid three nights. Expedia should not promote this property. Send someone out for updated photos. It's obviously a short- to long-term stay flop house, not a hotel. I was at Jameson for a total of five hours and the police were out twice. Two thumbs down so far they're broken!

This hotel feels like it is in an unsafe area. The room was dirty and the AC was an old window unit that had to have the reset button repeatedly pushed. I would NOT recommend this hotel.

An overpriced dump

We got two rooms as we had two groups staying at the hotel. When we arrived after dark, one of the rooms was not ready as they were still cleaning it. We had to wait at least a half hour for it to be ready. The room we got was ok but the bed must have been over 25 years old as I could feel the springs when I tried to sleep in it. For the price we paid, I expected something a lot better. When I asked the check-in clerk how the weather was going to be tonight he said he didn't know. We tried going to the breakfast but it was not ready and it appeared that the check-in's family were the only ones using it. I would not recommend this place.

Terrible/disappointing

Even though the room was a no smoking room, it still had an odor. We found bugs in the bathroom. The room had not been cleaned or sanitized. Stains everywhere. There was mildew on the chair. The pictures make the place look nice, but actually, it was very dirty. Other people using loud profanity outside the room most of the night. I recommend that no one stay here.

A basic motel, a little threadbare, but a bargain if you need someplace convenient in the Oakwood, GA area. TV and WIFI worked fine

The hotel from hell

I was charged twice, haven't gotten a refund yet. Bed linens and bath towels were soiled, tub was clogged, very bad smell, customer service was worst than the room, we asked for change of sheets, and the attendant threw them at me, they were worst than the ones on the bed, needless to say I had some reusable bags in my car and put them on the bed and slept on them.

Room 105 was a handicap, smoking room. Need better furniture and especially a coffee maker. The elevator and lack of, had us to change rooms to a bottom floor. The man and woman that work their are excellent and catered to our needs. The lobby and the dining room were excellent. Outside appearance of Hotel was great. Very nicely lighted.

It was pretty standard and clean which was great! Nothing was dirty it was just bland I guess, the scratches all over walls, dirt around shower and small stuff like that was just annoying at times. The largest thing that bothered me was the listing of a fitness center that doesn’t exist and “has been down since 2017” and the smell of smoke that just surrounds the place including the non smoking rooms. You can make a non smoking room but when the rooms below allow smoking and it just travels right up through the floors/walls and balconies it defeats the purpose

DO NOT STAY HERE

The hotel is good if your looking for drugs to buy. Saw 2 drug deals in the parking lot while we were walking to dinner. Massive amounts of in and out traffic, loud obnoxious people staying there. The room is old and very outdated. We ended up leaving and going to a different hotel in the area because we didn't feel like it was a safe place to stay.

The back of my legs and right foot were eaten alive by bed bugs while I was sleeping. Pulled blankets back and there were multiple holes in the mattress cover so I guess that would make sense of them having bed bug.. very disappointed..
