“STAY IN YOUR CAR BEFORE STAYING HERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

Terrible to sums up our trip to Macon. First we were checked in
to 2 rooms that had not had a/c turned on in months the rooms where
hotter in room that outside. We talked to the people at the desk and
got moved to a room that was slightly cooler. We had to purchase fans to
make it livable. One room smelt in like smoke in a non smoking room. The
other rooms there had bugs smeared on the wall, a hair on the pillow and
indication that the pillow case had not been changed. After our first
night in the 2nd round of rooms we asked to be moved again. WE go moved
for the 3rd and final time. These rooms had no towels asked manager for
them and never received them, a moldy shower curtain, bathroom doors
that had to be slammed shut. The condition of our room was slightly
better than the property in general. WE called and where lied to that
the pool was open. When we arrived the pool was half full with green
water, When asked the staff informed us that it hasn’t been open for
months. Stray cats where all over the place and it appears that the
staff is feeding them and keeping them to around saw food bowls on
several of the halls. Ice machines where nowhere to be found. Needless
to say i am glad to be home. FINALLY I even believe i saw a HOOKER being walked into a room by another guest of the hotel.

Dear Sir, once again we apologize for your unpleasant stay. We all agreed that the rooms upstairs that weekend were extremely hot, which is why we offered to change your room the next day when two downstairs rooms became available. I am one hundred percent certain that no one at this hotel told you that the pool was open, its very possible that there was a misunderstanding.. As I informed customer care that even though you were claiming to only want a response to your complaints or else you would write bad reviews on the travel sites, that you would do that regardless; I not only responded but I also tried to offer you some sort of compensation. When asked if everything was okay after changing rooms that afternoon, I believe she was your mother, said it was much better and asked for info on local restaurants/pizzarias. Our ice machine is located in the building across from the pool, and yes, some of the guests have compassion for strays that wander around the hotel that come from either the woods or from nearby restaurants, but I apologize for that too. As for the guest that was seen taking a 'hooker' into a room, I apologize for that as well, we have no way of detecting hookers.
Thank you.

“Ideal Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2011

- Perfect check-in; Karen--the front desk agent at check-in--was wonderful. She practically predicted my needs: An address for my GPS and a pre-keyed room even though I didn't have a reservation.

- Karen's daughter was the agent at check-out--she was also sweet, but I didn't catch her name.

- High value-to-rate ratio

- Rooms could use some attention to fine details--batteries in the remote were dead, minor scuffs on the walls, but everything was clean (I check!)

“Comfy beds, but really dirty!!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011

We stopped here when we couldn't drive any futher on our way to Florida. This hotel was a great location just off of the highway bypass. The rate was great. We were tired. I open the door to the nice big king size dreaming of sleep.....first I go into the bathroom....was a little old and in need of freshening up.....I let the sticky substance on the counter pass....I was tired.....then I took my shoes off......yck...shoes back on.....I open up the bedding OH there is hair in the sheets and there is crumbs in the bedding. hmmmm not cleaned. Then I show the husband and he goes back to the office and has a new room to try. The new room had clean sheets atleast and I could not get back into that car without some sleep! The bed was very comfortable...no complaint with that! I wish we had photos because this was one of the dirtiest hotels that I have ever slept in.....that back of the door was black with fingerprints and etc. the floors and carpets were horribly sticky. Would not stay there again. Too dirty.....cleaning staff that doesn't speak English is not an excuse for filth.
