Ringold came up on a "halfway point" along our travels. I searched the area and this hotel fit the bill of what we like. That is, roomy, clean, "like home", kitchen, wifi, etc.. The reviews on TripAdvisor were good, too!

What do I think? I think I'm so glad I found this place! We are currently in our room enjoying the internet, our favorite TV show, supper ready to prepare when we feel like it...LIFE....is....GOOD. :)

First thing I did is go to the front desk and ask for more pillows. They provide three; but my husband likes lots of pillows. I was quickly given two more with a big smile and "no problem" attitude.

The heater warmed the room right up and I put it back down lower to maintain it. Very comfy!

The internet is fine. We're both surfing without event.

It feels like "home" here. We got a room with a kitchen. The room is very large. I'm told that all the rooms are this large...but the rooms with two queens are even bigger!

Our room also has a nice couch in it. It has a large work desk also.

We haven't been to the breakfast yet; but I'm told it's strictly continental, only hot being oatmeal and waffles, no eggs. I'm sure it will be fine.

About the kitchen: It has a full size fridge...like would be in an apartment as opposed to a full sized home; but PLENTY OF ROOM. It has FULL CABINET SPACE! We have plenty of space to put our food and still room lefover to get our coolers out of sight. There is no oven; but there is one stove eye. Plenty! There's also a microwave and coffee maker. Keep in mind for those of you traveling with cooking in mind. There is nothing in the room as far as cooking tools...no utensils, skillets, etc.. If you are going to do any serious cooking, you'll be able to as long as you bring a skillet, a pot, silverware, plates, etc.. Now, with us we were able to serve on the plates they offer in the breakfast room, along with forks from there. I used our plastic containers to warm up (in the microwave) precooked dinner foods that I had cooked up before we left home. Worked like a charm.

The bed is very comfortable. It doesn't have the latest "pillowtop" mattress or "premium bedding + duvet" that many hotels offer; but it's perfectly fine.

The TV is a nice 27" flat screen. Not LCD; but the picture is VERY NICE AND CLEAR. We are enjoying our favorite program on it right now. :)

I have no complaints about this hotel at all. If we come this way with two extra days to spare (we are on a 9-hour drive....and broke it down to getting there in two nights!), we will book here again, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

I normally post pictures and/or a TRIPWOW slideshow with my reviews; but the pictures the hotel offers on the website are perfect and I can't show anything more than what they already show.

If you have any questions, I love to help fellow travelers. Please feel free to ask!

After searching and searching websites and reading and rereading reviews, I settled on the Hometown Inn. I was travelling from Fla. to Wisconsin, Oct.1....and that was the stopover. I also had my Airedale with me. ($10.00 PET FEE) Check in was easy...I had used Expedia, so everything was paid for already. The lady at the desk was helpful in giving
directions to a Sonic that was about 2 miles away.
The place was quiet and very clean...that was the one thing I was really concerned about. The bed was great and the bathroom was very modern..marble counter tops... After reading alot of these reviews on other places i was worried about what I would find...how do some of these places stay open...they sound like filthy dumps. I was pleased with what I found. So much so that I also stayed here 1 week later on my way back to Florida (Oct. 8).
The continental breakfast was just fine. Check out was as easy as check in!

Rest assured.........Book it..........You won't be disappointed.

We were very pleased with our stay at the Hometown Inn. The staff was very pleasant at check in and check out, the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. It was a nice place to stay on our way to Florida and was priced reasonably.

We had a good stay at this hotel on our way to Disney. I did notice that is was pretty noisy when people went up and down the stairs which we were near. It was a little annoying but no reason I wouldn't stay there again. The bathrooms were updated and nice. The bed seemed overly soft but fine. They were already setting up breakfast when we left very early and we were able to grab some things to eat on our way.
