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).

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 side appearance was just fine. The interior corridor to our room was clean but hot. Corridor is non-air conditioned. The room at first glance seemed find but upon closer inspection is severly long in the tooth. Went to open the patio door to the pool and the patio chairs were broken down and cigarette butts littered the lawn. The pool is old and poorly maintained. 1/2 this motel appears to be rented as long-term housing for the unemployed. Kind of a dirty crowd that seems less than desirable. Slept fine and woke to a better than average continental breakfast w/ biscuits and home-made gravy in what used to be the motel's bar. Upon conversation with a waitress at Applebees next door we were told that the motel had changed hands and the new owners weren't putting dime one into it. It's sad to see something that could be decent left to rot. I would not stay here again.

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 and there were spiders in the bathroom. (little ones, but they were there!!)

I guess for $39.99 a night you shouldn't expect too much. But, we were spoiled. On the way TO FLorida, we found a GREAT hotel for the very same price (the Paramount Plaza in Gainesville Florida)....i suppose we were hoping to land something just as lovely on the trip back home. But, we didn't.

I wouldn't stay here again unless there were no other choice....
