I mean, for a hundred bucks, I should have had more reasonable expectations. The sheets had stained. We asked for a new room. The gentleman up from came and asked which bed we were going to use and changed the sheets on it- same dirty blanket, but a new sheet. Never again for me and I wouldn’t recommend either. Which sucks, because I always prefer to stay at small, local places instead of chains. Just not this one

I liked the balcony view, staff, and convenience of everything. However, the room needs the floor cleaned and furniture needs dusted because I couldn’t keep my nose from itching! Otherwise I would recommend.

Manager was terrible! We booked a stay for 3 nights and our first night was bad, we got 3 hrs of sleep. We listened to loud bangs over and over from a room above us until 2 am. We believed it was possibly two kids jumping off the beds, running up and down the stairs and slamming door’s. Called the office at 1 am to complain & no one answered, the office was closed. No emergency number was listed on the paperwork he gave us.The Manager was already very short with us at check in (I’m assuming because he was sick) but even ruder when I contacted him the next morning about our sleepless night we had. He never even apologized or offered to move us he said he would “investigate” and get back to us. He NEVER called me back. It’s a shame because the property is beautiful and the beds were soft and the rooms were clean. The property was perfect but management ruined it for us and we won’t be back. I truly hope the owner reads this and finds a Better person to manage that property that appreciates and cares about the customers. This man didn’t care at all. From start to finish the manager was rude, Arrogant and snarky. He never smiled one time. Kindness goes a long way. We’ll stay elsewhere next time we’re in Tennessee.

They did try and update these rooms, photos are deceiving. The ceiling was stained with water marks, was worried about mold, the room had a strong oder. We found another hotel near by and did not end up staying because of the condition of room.
