Guest Reviews
- Braden (10/5): - Beautiful window view made the room more enjoyable. Cleanliness inside was well-maintained. Lighting supported a peaceful atmosphere. Staff made sure comfort stayed consistent.
- Will (10/5): - The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way.
- Jovanni (10/5): - I loved how friendly the staff were the moment I walked in. The room smelled fresh and looked tidy. Breakfast could have been better with more options. Even so, I felt relaxed during my stay.
- Laura (2/5): - Absolutely the worst motel ever!!!! False advertisement. No restaurant … gas station served pizza. No balcony. What a joke that was. I had reserved a king room, given a double as they didn’t have a king. The room had two queen beds that were worn out, lights weren’t working, awful smell. We requested another. Given another room with two queens. Looked and smelled a little better. We sat down to eat the pizza we purchased at the gas station and started seeing live roaches (have videos and pictures… numerous.) We were there 15 mins and immediately knew this was a health risk. What a dump!!! Threw our luggage into the car and drove 45 mins to nearest town with a vacancy. I am requesting immediate refund on this. So disappointed in the obviously false reviews. I will be using another source than Expedia for our travels.
- Mac (10/5): - We loved the peaceful surroundings and comfortable rooms.
- Lucy (10/5): - Atmosphere throughout felt peaceful, breakfast was delicious, and service always came with a friendly attitude.
- Orlando (10/5): - Impeccable service — every staff member greeted us with a smile.
- Milani (10/5): - Loved my stay here! The room was cozy, the food was delicious, and the staff made me feel at home. Highly recommend this place.
- Tate (10/5): - I enjoyed my short stay at the property. The location is convenient and the breakfast spread offered plenty of variety.
- Armani (10/5): - The location is excellent for both leisure and business. The room was spotless, and the attentive staff ensured our stay with my partner was smooth and enjoyable throughout.
- Eric (10/5): - Perfect stay! The view from our room was stunning.
- DANIELLE (2/5): - the listing for Expedia is wrong, The picture of the reception area - this area does NOT exist. There is no "restaurant" Check in is at the gas station next door. There is no note indicating this at the motel property. We rang a buzzer and a resident at the motel finally came and told us. Roaches in the room, gap under the door, stains on the carpet. The staff person was friendly.
- Richard (4/5): - Far less than perfect but tolerable for an outdoor person. Grounds were neglected, roaches and spiders in the room, weather stripping missing from the bottom of the door, beds were advertised as queen size but were full size. Other than that, it was tolerable as compared to camping but would rate low compared to other motels.
- Emma (10/5): - Loved waking up to the serene views from my room. The staff were exceptional and made sure I had everything needed. Wonderful experience!
- Amandae (2/5): - I would never stay there it was very nasty not clean and smelled
- Alaric (10/5): - I had a very pleasant experience during my stay. The hotel is well located, making it convenient for travelers. The staff was polite and attentive to every request. The cleanliness of the property was impressive, and the room had a cozy feel. I would definitely consider staying here again.
- Jason (2/5): - Showed up after the “store” closed. No lobby to check in at. Then took forever to get door to open as deadbolt was stuck. Finally got it opened but would jam if you didn’t lift up to open it from the inside. No local channels on tv only Roku channel. No remote for tv so had to adjust volume manually. Other than close location for fall creek falls state park it was a horrible experience. Will not stay again. All units are regular renters looked like for the most part.
- Dino (10/5): - The property is very pleasant and full of amenities.
- Hadassah (10/5): - I truly enjoyed my stay at this property. Everything was well organized, and the hotel maintained a high level of cleanliness. The service was prompt, and the team was very professional.
- Mia (10/5): - Place is cozy and inviting, cheerful atmosphere
- Yvonne (2/5): - DO NOT BOOK HERE. Nightmare of an experience at the Way Inn by OYO in Spencer, TN. Description says check in anytime after 3 pm and "will be greeted by front desk." There is no front desk. There is a doorbell outside a window that no one answered. After driving over 9 hours with my child and arriving after 11 pm there was no one available to check us in. Tried calling the hotel and did not get and answer. Tried calling the OYO 800# and they attempted to reach someone at the hotel and did not get an answer. No solution offered by OYO. Tried to find somewhere else to stay, but there was nothing nearby. There were not even any open gas stations/bussiness nearby where we could safely park. We slept in our car overnight. I knew I did not book the Ritz. I knew it was a "no tell Motel." I did not expect much in the way of quality as far as the room/facility was concerned, but I did expect to be able to check in and have a safe place to stay.
- Lester (10/5): - It was nice which
- Keith (2/5): - When I arrived and had to find another hotel
- joyce (6/5): - It was very spacious, small tv, microwave and fridge. If you want coffee; bring your own, It was in need of update. Old building, needs shower upgrades' no grab bars, tub too high for elderly to step over. All in all, it was ok, Probably wouldn't book again.
- George (6/5): - Older motel but room was not run down. Manager was nice and helpful. Full time resident is a mechanic and took up 5 parking spots. Revving engine at 7am. Dog poop all over the parking area. Outside area not maintained very well. Beds were comfortable. Good shower pressure. Food available in convenience store in front of motel but limited to what owner wants to fix. Motel manager assured me that above problems would be addressed.
- Nicholas (4/5): - Check in time is at 11, but we were not allowed to check in until 1 ants coming out of the sink and can’t flush paper down toilet
