We booked this hotel on price and location, last minute, on our way to Helen, Ga. We, unfortunately, did not read the reviews. We got to the hotel at 4:30 a.m. Check in was smooth & the gentleman behind the counter was really nice. Our room on the other hand was absolutely disgusting. We got 2 beds & 1 of them was just nasty. It had dog hair, dirt, & whatever else all over the comforter. I didn't look no further than that. I ended up sleeping in the other bed (after an inspection) with my neice. The sink had "stuff" in it and the tub had hair & dirt in it. I was, honestly, in shock! I never write reviews, but this one deserved a review so no one else walks into what we did. PLEASE read reviews. Suprisingly enough this hotel has a 6.8 our 10 rating.

Worst motel in Georgia

The door had been kicked in and wouldn't close properly, there was a pill laying in the floor, the shower was nasty and the hot water didn't work. I called the desk clerk, she never got maintenance to come fix it, we were not able to take a shower. They wouldn't let us change rooms, it was disgusting

Kinda a dirty room but got it at a great price! Walls were thin so heard everything from next door room, and main complaint from hubby was no shampoo or conditioner which I did run by staff who said they’re in the process of updating, it was an ok stay close to town and right next to gas station, affordable ok option!

The door padlock wouldn't lock. Then had difficulty opening the door from the inside as well via handle. We moved for this and two rooms not having the T.V. working properly. The lady was nice trying to resolve it but the door issues didn't make us feel safe at all. Oh and breakfast included didn't include any cold drinks like water, juice or milk. Wasn't expecting luxury but not everyone drinks hot drinks in the morning, especially not kids.

Hotel needs a complete renovation- we’ve stayed at other Red Roof inns and this one doesn’t even compare..after one night we left Breakfast was sub par, bread and bagels still in packaging with no way to get it out. Towels were small and paper thin. Washcloths were stained and unusable. After switching old remote with new one, still didn’t work

No housekeeper ??

The evening desk clerk was a very nice lady. The 3 day weekend stay started well but it was spent with the same 2 towels and 2 washcloths for 2 people the entire stay . We took turns going and asking for fresh,clean ones but was told repeatedly there were no clean ones available. Saw the housekeepers cart (empty) abandoned on the sidewalk for about an hour then it disappeared,lol.
