I read the reviews and did not want to go there but one of my friend went to check the rooms and not sure what they showed him for him to book rooms for us. May be they have one good room to show. It's worse than 3rd country motels and I can tell for sure that since I am... More

We took a bus full of kids to an indoor drumline competition...Uhm-long story short, we got our money back and left!!! Here is a list of SOME of the issues we had: * DIRTY sheets (and NO clean ones to change-which makes me believe that they don't WASH them at all) *POOP on a towel where someone had wiped their...

Room was $40 so I wasn't expecting much but there is a club next door that exits out through the hotel lot. The entire club exedous includes car racing, fights and in our case gun shots and cops. The room was semi run down but not bad but there was dried blood on the shower wall. Also the free wireless... More

We were traveling I-75 to Florida. I read some great reviews of this motel, so altho it was a long drive, we thought it would be worth it. Words cannot describe how bad this place is. First room they gave us had water leaking over the sink, towels were dirty, and overall, just really grungy. So the desk guy was... More

We arrived on Saturday afternoon, the room we had reserved was not available. We had to take another room, we... More

If you value your health, stay away from this hotel. My family of four checked in at 6:00 PM, ate dinner at the Applebee's next door, and checked out by 6:45 PM. This is the most disgusting place we have ever been in. After reading the reviews on this site, we made reservations based on what was portrayed. After driving... More

This property is very old. They are doing some remodeling. Furnishings and linens showing significant age. New owner trying to clean up the property (remodeling, getting rid of problem guests, etc). The price was right ($40 per night) and the location was good (I-75 @ Pierce Ave Exit on Riverside Drive). More

Stayed here in Summer of 05. Rates seemed decent and after passing by on the way north, the place looked need and well-kept. Decided to give it a shot. The staff was great and the lobby is pleasant enough. Your typical HOJO of yesteryear. This style of motel is definitely a fast-dying breed. The parking was good and parking lot... More

Stayed one night on our way home from vacation. This is the I-75 exit #167 location (Riverside Drive) in Macon Georgia. Had a nice meal at the Shogun Japanese Restaurant, just down the road, but the hotel was questionable. Our non-smoking room had cigarette burns on the bedspread, the hair dryer didn't work, the upholstery on the chair was NASTY... More
