The staff was generally helpful. The photos shown on Hotels.com were misleading. If the reception area pictured actually exists I don’t know where it would be as the entire motel is a old style one story drive up motel. “Reception” is basically the gas station/ convenience store in front and you have to wake someone up if you arrive late..The front of the motel was overgrown with weeds. The door to our room was dirty and needed painting as did the cabinetry under the sink. The shower curtain was too long for the tub and shower and was very mildew stained at the bottom, probably because it can’t dry properly. We also needed a plunger one night at 9:30 pm and never got it. With some TLC it could be a nice vintage motel. Right now not so much.

This property seems to be used for some long-term living arrangements, very unclean, run down & non-working vehicles on blocks in the parking area. Appears to be unsafe in several ways. Nothing like the pictures posted on the Expedia site.

DO NOT STAY HERE / There is no lobby, you check in at the gas station / I am not sure where the picture in the photo came from / Most of the people staying at this motel are residents not vacationers / There are broken windows, cars jacked up being worked on, abandoned vehicles, dogs running around everywhere, etc / We checked in - - the room is painted cement blocks, very old furniture, mattress - no box spring, etc / The TV didn't work - they did quickly fix that / by the bathroom sink I noticed several bugs - thinking they were fruit flies I killed them, then noticed more, used our Seek app - THEY WERE CAT FLIES AND CAT FLEES / I could NOT stay there / We packed up and left - I didn't care where we went - just needed to leave / DO NOT STAY HERE

They canceled our reservation the day before check in. Then called the day of check in and said they had a room. We stopped in and it was so dirty. Bugs all over the bathroom and in the room. Beds were a mattress on a metal base. They were only full size, not queen. We didn’t stay.

Absolutely the worst motel ever!!!! False advertisement. No restaurant … gas station served pizza. No balcony. What a joke that was.
I had reserved a king room, given a double as they didn’t have a king. The room had two queen beds that were worn out, lights weren’t working, awful smell. We requested another. Given another room with two queens. Looked and smelled a little better. We sat down to eat the pizza we purchased at the gas station and started seeing live roaches (have videos and pictures… numerous.)
We were there 15 mins and immediately knew this was a health risk. What a dump!!! Threw our luggage into the car and drove 45 mins to nearest town with a vacancy.
I am requesting immediate refund on this. So disappointed in the obviously false reviews. I will be using another source than Expedia for our travels.

the listing for Expedia is wrong, The picture of the reception area - this area does NOT exist. There is no \"restaurant\" Check in is at the gas station next door. There is no note indicating this at the motel property. We rang a buzzer and a resident at the motel finally came and told us. Roaches in the room, gap under the door, stains on the carpet. The staff person was friendly.

Far less than perfect but tolerable for an outdoor person. Grounds were neglected, roaches and spiders in the room, weather stripping missing from the bottom of the door, beds were advertised as queen size but were full size. Other than that, it was tolerable as compared to camping but would rate low compared to other motels.

Showed up after the “store” closed. No lobby to check in at. Then took forever to get door to open as deadbolt was stuck. Finally got it opened but would jam if you didn’t lift up to open it from the inside. No local channels on tv only Roku channel. No remote for tv so had to adjust volume manually. Other than close location for fall creek falls state park it was a horrible experience. Will not stay again. All units are regular renters looked like for the most part.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. Nightmare of an experience at the Way Inn by OYO in Spencer, TN. Description says check in anytime after 3 pm and \"will be greeted by front desk.\" There is no front desk. There is a doorbell outside a window that no one answered.

After driving over 9 hours with my child and arriving after 11 pm there was no one available to check us in. Tried calling the hotel and did not get and answer. Tried calling the OYO 800# and they attempted to reach someone at the hotel and did not get an answer. No solution offered by OYO. Tried to find somewhere else to stay, but there was nothing nearby. There were not even any open gas stations/bussiness nearby where we could safely park. We slept in our car overnight.

I knew I did not book the Ritz. I knew it was a \"no tell Motel.\" I did not expect much in the way of quality as far as the room/facility was concerned, but I did expect to be able to check in and have a safe place to stay.

Older motel but room was not run down. Manager was nice and helpful. Full time resident is a mechanic and took up 5 parking spots. Revving engine at 7am. Dog poop all over the parking area. Outside area not maintained very well. Beds were comfortable. Good shower pressure. Food available in convenience store in front of motel but limited to what owner wants to fix. Motel manager assured me that above problems would be addressed.
