The room was basically clean. Sheets appeared to be clean. The bathroom vents need to be cleaned, very full of dirt, so the vent didn’t really work. We didn’t see any staff except at checking and he was friendly. It’s a basic hotel at an inexpensive cost. A quick overnight stay is fine but not really where I would stay for an extended period. Lighting is parking area was great. Air conditioning could use some improvement possibly a cleaning would be sufficient i don’t really know. Was convenient for where we needed to be for early the next morning

This is a budget hotel. The room was clean, but it is not being maintained. Water pressure in shower was great, but it is causing water damage on the ceiling. Cloth chair in room was stained and desk chair was dirty.

If you want an inexpensive place to stay in Etowah, this is a good choice. Walking distance to many restaurants.

The 1st room I received had a horrible smell. I changed rooms the smell was better but the bed was terrible. It was not only like a brick but every time you moved it sounded like springs against metal. The website said breakfast and there was nothing. The fitness center consisted of a treadmill and bike nothing else. The soda bottles were $2.50 however if you put $3 in you get no change.

Sadly, I would’ve given this hotel a one, but since it’s the only hotel in Etowah I’m giving out a two. They put us in a room that had floodlights shining into our space, and even with the blackout curtains, it kept the room somewhere light while trying to sleep. The bed was bad. When I went to take a bath, there was mildew around the edges. And for entertainment, while in the bath, I got to see a cockroach run across the floor. The lampshade had it’s binding falling off.

The front desk is the reason it was a horrible experience being charged $100 and called after I checked out to be harassed, berated, and banned from the property over a dirty diaper in the trash is crazy. My TV kept turning off and we would have to unplug it to make it work. The ac barely worked. The room was dirty when we got there. If I hadn't been so broke and tired I would have moved around but 10/10 do not recommend stating here.i hope y'all think twice about staying here.. no free breakfast either. Stray cats EVERYWHERE. If you go outside to smoke the owner will constantly circle around and watch you also.

Receptionist had difficulty getting the WIFI to work so check in a long process. He finally copied my drivers license , had me sign the copy and submit my license plate #. I do not believe he was able to access the site for check in at all. He was most apologetic and frustrated so think the hotel needs to address this , or perhaps it is the area. It was not a quick, efficient check in.

This was a nice hotel in a quiet town, near restaraunts and grocery store. it has a washer and dryer which was good for me. the hosts are nice and I would stay here again. I got a good price so that helped. Two things of note that seemed out of place with such a high score. when I checked into my first room it had a large (almost a foot across) stain in the comfortable chair, noticable from across the room. it would be hard to think someone missed it. I went to the desk, showed a picture, and the gentleman, as I recall, asked if I wanted to move my room. he was happy to do so, and apologized. I found it weird he asked if I wanted to move, after I had walked down to the front desk and showed a picture. the other slightly odd thing is the side doors to the parking lot facing mc Donald's isn't capable of locking. it has the card scanner but the door lock mechanism has been removed. so at any time of night someone could walk in. they do have security cameras but I couldn't come up with a good reason to leave those unlocked unless they are a maintenance issue. when I told the man at the desk he confirmed they are unlocked. I just took a little extra security precaution and enjoyed my new room, which was quite nice.
