Herrick Hotels from S$79

"Although upon arrival, we were quite put off by the exterior condition and appearance of this old Quality Inn, once in our room, most everything seemed updated and clean. The beds and bedding were comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the shower worked well. The heater was suitably quiet too. The TV was like any other motel TV's. Like the "by Wyndham" franchises, in this case..a "Choice Hotels" franchise buys up old hotel chains and specializes in giving renovation advantages to franchisees who pass on lower pricing to customers. Of course they are not gleaming new hotels. I would say on average the "free" breakfast was just as good as that at any other full priced hotel with eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and all the rest. One glaring unrenovated issue in our room was a delaminating hollow core door between the sink vanity and the shower/toilet room and a rusting steel door frame at floor level...undoubtedly caused by years of mopping the floor. "

"We stayed at the Shelby Inn overnight Easter Sunday night, after a day of fishing at the lake spillway. The Inn looks to be a mansion in pictures, but it is also what might have been an upgraded 1950s single floor motor lodge, as well as a two story lodging building next door. Our king room was in the 2 story building, on the top floor. On the day of our arrival, we got the assigned room number and an access code for the door. The room was well appointed, spacious with a two-seater table and chairs, dish TV,, the shower had a rainfall shower head, and dispensers for private brand shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Everything was very clean and welcoming. Parking was off street, open parking lot betwren the buildings. It was 40° and 30 mph winds, so we didn't have any concern about air conditioning, but the heat was very effective and warmed us right up. When we come back to Shelbyville, we will definitely be staying here. (Since we were in town on Easter Sunday and didn't get back to town from the spillway until after 8:00, there wasn't much beyond fast food that was still open. I can definitely recommend Oliver Coffee, a neat little drive-thru-only coffee shop that we visited Monday am,, and heard great things from others about the Lakeview Family Restaurant.)"

"Clean, comfortable, spacious rooms. Everything that was needed. Tasty breakfast. Would gladly stay here again."

"Clean and comfortable bed. I was in and out but it was quiet and a good nights rest. Thank you. "

"Very outdated and in poor condition."
