Budget stay, no major complain, one minor.

I noticed when signing the check-in card/agreement, there was a company name was on the customer line as opposed to my name. A point was made of asking if a morning invoice would be provided and the answer was yes. Returned key to front desk on check out and requested receipt which staff would not provide. Staff informed me since booking was thru hotels.com, they (hotels.com) would send receipt via email. Total misinformation, that's not the way it works. Requested a credit card charge receipt and was informed the receipt had been given at check-in. It had not. Attempted to reason with staff, they held firm and would not supply a receipt or invoice. This is not acceptable business practice.

The Party Hotel/ Management Looks the other Way

Well let's put it like this if you want to get sleep you might want to go some where else, but if you like to party all night and get loud with a bunch of coworkers or friends this is the place that don't mind that kinda behavior. You can play loud music and have a good time at the Bent Tree. But if you suffer from anxiety then you may want to stay far away, it's not the room or the service or the cleanliness they are spot on with that. Very clean very polite, at the front desk. Also there is one huge pot hole at the front watch out for that. Other than the party that they allow to go on right next door and in front of your room. You may want to take a pic of your room and window when you first get there and record anything that may come back and you get blamed for, like a break and crack in a window. So who pays for it? Of course the one that rents the room to the broken window. They wouldn't possibly think anyone else could have done it. But when they threaten to call police and press charges you have no choice. Don't call police on the disturbance. Hell I wouldn't either retaliation is not something to sign up for so being they have our name address license plate and phone number we have to pay for it otherwise they can say and do it give our info to who ever they want they are not from here by the way you can't understand half the words they say. Other than all that Yeah it's a great place to stay one night I wouldn't recommend 2 nights. We stayed 1 to many nights

The Bent Tree was located right where we needed to be, the front office staff were friendly and helpful. Our room definitely needed some maintenance. The sink faucet was loose on the sink, so when you would turn on the water, the entire faucet swiveled. The shower head was only about 5' high, and the diverter would not fully shut off the tub spout so you only got about half pressure. The rooms definitely need room-darking curtains as the plastic mini-blinds don't keep out much light. But with all that we slept very well, and would consider them again if in the area.

Great getaway in Emory

We rented the family suite. While it could do with some updating, the suite was incredibly spacious. It was clean and tidy, offering a nice living area for a good sized group to visit and catch up. There is a very handy kitchenette with a full size fridge along with two large bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. Both bedrooms were very very very spacious. I am confident we will stay here again and again for family gatherings.

An okay place to stay for one night

The young girl in the front office was very friendly and polite. She was the highlight. The room was a room. It was very run down. The blankets were thin and the towels were like something that you have in a rag pile for cleaning with. The tile floor was sticky in places as if it had not been cleaned. The baseboards had dirt literally piled on them, I don't think they have ever been cleaned. The lamp didn't work. There was a sketchy man that appeared homeless sitting outside of my mother in laws room most of the night. Other than that, it was quiet. The field next door had a lot of wildflowers. If you aren't too picky it is a fine place to stay overnight.

2024 Solar Eclipse Adventure

We arrived on the 7th of April for the solar eclipse. We stayed two nights. The young lady at the check in window was extremely friendly and welcoming. Very simple process. Ice machine is in the office area. The rooms are in a block of 8 units, 4 on each side. It was parking at the door. Great!!!! It is very simple, clean and comfortable beds. The bedding linens are very dated but clean. The unit is clean just very dated.The shower heads are in need of replacement. They provided small coffee maker (with coffee), small refrigerator, microwave, tv, table and two chairs and all the bathroom products. The employees were walking around and very visable, so felt very safe and comfortable in our surroundings. They offered several picnic tables. Again it is very plain but for what we needed it was fine. We had our lawn chairs and just sat outside to have our glass of wine in the evening. The motel is close to everything!!!! Would stay again if ever in that area.

I like the privacy. It's separate buildings and not packed on each other. I don't like that we paid $100 a night, and they leave a tip envelope on the desk for house keeping. There are no extra amenities here. No breakfast, nothing extra. $100 plus a tip for the house keeping is kind pricey IMO. Towels are very thin and seem a bit old. Overall I would definitely stay again, but only out of need.
