Overton Motel Livingston

Good motel, 30 minutes to Dale Hollow Lake.

It’s not bad if you need a cheap place to stay, but they do ask for a deposit of cash once you get there but you get it back when you leave if you ask for it, if not your out of luck. We stayed last night since we are in the process of moving homes and brought a few refrigerated food with us from our old house so the kids could snack on it if needed (about 60$ worth) Check out is suppose to be at 11 and we are locals so we didn’t have much belongings with us when we stayed (except the food and a bag of clothes which I took with me when I left, I just left the food so it wouldn’t go bad), so when we got up at 7am to get the kids to school and get breakfast we came back about 9:15sh to grab the food out the fridge and check out, as soon as I walked in the room I noticed it was clean and all my food was gone. I tried to asked about it but they just ignored what I was trying to say and just gave me my deposit back. Not really a big deal but just sucks lost out of 60$

They say they are pet friendly but we booked it and then called and we’re told they were not. Which happened to be the entire reason we booked this place. Then at checkin the lady that checked us in kepted asking my name (while holding my ID) over and over like she thought I was some type of criminal- while I’m standing there with my son… The beds in two of the three rooms our party booked were decent- but the other room was like sleeping on a board. It does look like they are upgrading beds as they go. Overall for the price I guess it wasn’t too bad- but I’m very upset with how I was treated at check in and the fact that they say pet friendly but actually aren’t. I travel all over a lot, and have never been treated that way on checkin. Had there been other options in the area I would’ve gone somewhere else.

This is the only option in the area other than cabins or vacation homes 4x the price at least. The outside screams motel and you will judge it. But, I will be completely honest, they put us on the lower back facility I didn't even know existed and it was block built but separate from the main, older building. I think it was because we booked through a reputable online company. When we walked in the room was modernly new renovated. Large TV, working mini fridge and microwave. The beds were comfortable and AC and Heat worked great. Being where we were, there wasn't "regulars" or "residents" around like the upper area. Very quiet and with a house right there, safe. This is a motel, know that. BUT, I was very pleased, surprised and will stand behind referring people to stay here and don't be afraid because of pics or reviews. Read where they're from as most come from the "regulars" or locals who are rowdy, partying, or looking for a freebie. I had my teenage son with me and we were completely ok with the stay. Again, I'm only vouching for the rooms I think it started at 220 and ended around 232 (only rooms stand alone on lower back part of the property). There is no coffee, amenities, breakfast or anything, but again, it's a motel and several local spots nearby so just plan accordingly. This is the BEST Motel I've ever seen and with work I've literally stayed at hundreds of hotels over 20 years. I put this as far as cleanliness and comfort just above Comfort Inn, Quality Inn.

We liked that it had hard floors instead of carpeting. Loved the memory foam mattress. We had the best night’s sleep.

Very basic; nothing fancy at all. Couldn’t get TV to work. Quiet. Everything very clean. No carpet anywhere. goood for the price.

Yikes

The property was as-expected for a small town motel. The parking for the office was right off ofnthe road. By rhe time i pulled into the lot, i was many rooms past. When i entered the small office, i noticed that it could use a bit of cleaning. It wasn't in disrepair but needed some attention to detail. A middle eastern gentleman entered the small desk area from an adjoining room. He hardly spoke. I deciphered from 1- to 2-word sentences that he needed mu ID. He also asked for my credit card. I inquired about the restaurant that was right besude the motel but he didn't offer much. Again 1- to 2-word sentences. He didnt tell me that the room we were given was on the back side of the motel so I circled the lot then had to use the roadway to return to the office-side of the building. There is an additional set of rooms on the back side of the property. The room was as expected. I prefer that there was a standing shower. The towels and bedding were very clean. The worst I can say is the place is dated. There were no loud noises or feelings of being unsafe. Aside from the customer service aspect, it was a fine place to reat for the night. Taking into account that English isn't the proprietor's first language, i want it known that he wasn't rude - just uncomfortable.

Room was clean and very nice. Bed was a little soft for me. People are nice at front desk. Very reasonable pricing.

Unfriendly staff, outdated, toilet worked but rocked when sat on, sketchy neighborhood.
