They didn’t have my reservation (for a 2 bed no smoking) and only had one room left and it was a smoking room. The room was filthy. The plumbing was backed up so water came up in the sink when you flush the toilet. There were stains on the sheets and the bedspread (may not have been washed). The bedspread had had burns and was sticky. There was a quarter of a roll of toilet paper in the holder. No tissues. My feet stuck to the floor. The fixtures were literally falling off the walls. The vents and intake for the air conditioning unit was disgusting so it blew particles into the air. The smell of smoke was overwhelming. I have stayed in hundreds of hotel rooms over the years (I travel for work) and some have been really bad. This room was the worst I have ever been in. I had a 2 night reservation but left after the first night. I have a right mind to report the hotel to health inspectors. I should really get a refund. Lastly, the pictures on Expedia are not what the room looked like. False advertising.

I was attacked by bed bugs in the first room. The manager was rude but switched my room but then on the other room, there was a cockroach and a massive hole and stain on the mattress. When I tried to talk to Expedia about this, the representative was also rude. Instead of accommodating me, I was kicked out of the hotel at 1am and was harassed by a homeless man outside of my room and was out in the cold for 30 minutes. I will not be using Expedia again

Do not stay at this hotel I have stayed at a lot of hotels in my days. This is the worst by far the room was crap. Burn holes in the sheets and bed cover burn marks on the sinks in the bathroom just the grossest room I have ever stepped into.

Read some terrible reviews on this place and was pleasantly surprised when we got there. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean, smelled fresh, and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The room had a refrigerator and microwave. if you're looking for a no-frills motel that's affordable on Georgis football game weekends, this is a great place. I'd come back.

For the price in this area, it was a great place to stay, almost 1/2 of other hotels that same weekend. Not sure about other times of the year when conventions may be in town. Overall I was happy with my stay.
