“Great Shower and Beds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2010

2 groups of 6 of us were on an all night run from Chattanooga to Nashville. This was the nicest motel in Shelbyville, near the half way point, that I could find on the web. We booked two rooms ahead of time and a third when we got there. We found the showers had a large head, the beds were nice and firm. there were a lot of towels available and we shared the rooms in 2 shifts for just enough hours of sleep to finish the run later on the next day.

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2009

As Shelbyville natives my husband and I stay here when we need to take a break and don't have time or money to go anywhere else. We have always been pleased with the managment, the cleanliness, and the free breakfast! The beds are extremely comfy and the flat screen HDTV is a nice additive. We like to stay in the "honey moon" suite with the hot tub, and there are always extra towels. Contrary to another review there is no "exoctic dancer billboards" or what have you. There are none of those clubs in town. I highly recommend this hotel.

“Great Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2009

I have stayed at this place several times with my family and I have never been let down. The bed linens and pillows are nice. The bathrooms are clean. I always have wireless internet and they have a great breakfast selection.Last time I checked in they had just baked homemade cookies yummy! It is very convenient to the show grounds if you are showing Tennessee Walkers maybe we will see you there!

“Not exactly the Ritz, so keep expectations modestly low”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2009

We chose to stay here based on other relatively positive reviews here. However, our experience was less than delightful.

First of all, the place is located in what I would politely term an unsavory part of town. The giant bail bonds and exotic dancer billboards right next door were the first clue. Across the street is another older and somewhat scary-looking motel that looks like it might rent rooms by the hour.

We arrived at night so perhaps the neighborhood seems less ominous in the daylight. However, our room (not a "suite" by any stretch of the imagination) was a sadly-neglected state of affairs. The first thing that blew me away was that the desk clerk made us sign several papers promising that we would not smoke in the room upon penalty of some enormous fines, yet the proudly emblazoned "Nonsmoking"-plaqued room we were assigned positively reeked of cigarette smoke. The walls were yellowed from old smoke and the whole place had that nasty smell that you can never completely erase after smoking has occurred there over a long time. Even the sheets smelled of smoke.

We tried but could not get the Internet to work in the room. We did not have the problem at other places this trip so something was haywire in our room I guess.

Most disturbing were some large stains on the bathroom walls (coffee? blood? urine?) that defied explanation. I'm sure these are not standard issue in every room but it caused me to pass on the shower.

The place was relatively busy though and parking was scant, so what perturbs me most of all is the possibility that this is Shelbyville's finest offering.

Let me begin by apologizing for not meeting your expectations here at the Best Western Celebration Inn & Suites. I do want you to know that I have taken your comments to heart, and since my Tenure as General manager began on April 1, 2009, I have made numerous efforts to correct the areas that you had mentioned.

I have contacted the City of Shelbyville with regards to the billboard in question, and have been told by them that the sign meets all of the City Codes, and there is nothing that they can do about it.

Again, i do hope that you accept my sincerest apology and do hope that you will give the Best Western Celebration Inn & Suites another chance in the future.

Sincerely,
R. Thompson

“Clean room, great amenities”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2008

We have stayed at this hotel twice now (once in 2007 and now this trip). They have done some nice updates and we highly recommend this hotel!

The room we were in had a king-sized bed, a very nice sized refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The room was spacious and included a comfortable chair and a desk and chair. The room even had a flat screen HDTV!

The room was very clean.

We did not use the pool, in-room internet (free) or laundry facilities, but they are available. Additionally, breakfast is included in your stay.

This is a great hotel for such a small town. Perfect for the business traveler or for folks attending the yearly walking horse celebration. The celebration grounds are very close to this hotel.

  • Liked — Clean, quiet room; large refrigerator
