Cheap, clean, nothing crazy
Decent property for the price. Nothing crazy about. Nothing great, but nothing bad. Best thing about it is the AC got the room SUPER cold and the property is literally right beside both a Hardee’s and a Waffle House. Past that, there’s nothing to write home about. Easy check-in and out. Affordable

Despite this location being listed as Pet Friendly on the Expedia site , this is not the case! At check-in, the clerk informed me that pets were not allowed. When I pointed out that the website said they were pet friendly, he told me that was not their policy. In addition, in my view, this property is not ready for room rental, there was box after box after box of room items stored in the lobby, I presume for installation later. I was a bit concerned also that there was not a single automobile in the parking lot, so I am going to say that it was just as well, If you are traveling with pets, do not consider this property.

Brand new remodeling of entire property. Used to be a Motel 6. Everything is brand new and fresh. Only issue was I reserved a king bed room (site said 5 left) but was put in a 2 queen bed room after being told no kings available but it looked like there was only 1 other guest on the property.

Worst place in Decatur
To start hotel was paid for and clearly stated no extra fees due at property. When I refused to let me charge my card again then they wanted $100 cash deposit for a hotel that definitely wasn’t worth that. Check out at 11. At 8 house keeping kept banging on the door to do housekeeping. So I do not recommend this place. We and family members stay in Decatur very often. None of us will ever stay here again.

I get it, this is a cheap hotel. Booked a smoking room to find out there is no smoking at all. Tv stopped working a couple hours in, and I was treated like I was the one who broke it because it was not mounted to the table like other rooms. If I was to give a star rating they would get negative 5 stars

Not bad!
There was a hole in the bathroom door and some damage under the sink. However, the front desk attendant said they were in the process of remodeling all of the rooms. The room was clean and the front desk clerk was friendly. Overall, a nice budget-friendly place for an overnight stop.

Well, for the most part the room was less to be desired than i would have thought. The room was a smoking room, so i didn't expect it to be fantastic but would have expected it clean. The room cost me $80 a night, it smelled like Marijuana when i first walked in, then when i put my bag down roaches scattered from the desk and up the wall. They were in the bathroom and around the microwave and refrigerator. The trash can had trash in it already and one of the rags was used and had lipstick on it, and the bed spread was coated in cigarette burns. I'm surprised there was enough cover to stay warm so I put the thermostat up high. I doubt i would ever stay there again unless i absolutely had to.
