The hotel needs to get updated comforters and towels to match their updated rooms. The comforters are old and outdated and the towels were stained and couple had wholes in them.

The place wasn’t as clean and nice as the pictures on the website. It was only a two night stay but the hot water wasn’t working on the first day or night. Don’t like cold showers.

This place is a great stay! Clean rooms besides a pinkish stain on one of the blankets, but didnt come off as dirty just random. Full directv and great quality picture. Good microwave and fridge. The staff is kind and they give you your privacy. There is a lot of food choices nearby. Overall, just a nice experience.

For the location (Forest City/Spindale) and the price per night, I was blown away. I thought for sure with how cheap it was there would at least be roaches in the rooms? But they were very clean, staff was friendly, and I would be happy to stay again. However, just know going into it that this isn’t the Hilton or some other upscale hotel, it’s affordable, and they do this very well.

It's an old motel wich was painted on the outside for the looks. Lobby was redone but all the rest should have been changed. It looks awfull. I have been in much nicer Econo lodge.

The stay was nice - we were moved from one leaky room to another, but wasnt really upset about it....didn't really blame the staff. I have no real complaints - good tv package, normal clean rooms, good showers, and was quiet. Only thing i would say is not enough pillows in the room but that's it.
