The lady at the front desk was very nice though for some reason they could not find my reservation which I showed her proof several times (the receipt on orbitz, my debit card charge, the text message and email) after about 30 minutes she finally let me into a room. Which was not what I booked but I let it go cause of the hurricane and the room was dirty and had centipedes in the bathroom killed a few. Then at 730 am we are awoken by a phone call which we didn’t get to in time we figured it was a wrong number. Then when we finally get back to sleep we get banging on our door at 8am demanding we give them our debit card to pay for the room which I told them I had showed her I already paid for her and gave her all my info showing it WAS PAID. I wouldn’t stay here again just the rudeness of being woke up so early would be a reason I wouldn’t stay 2/10

The cleanliness was on point. But they can keep the chicken and roosters all over the premises. Along with the chickens comes the flies!

Pool was out of service and that was one of the main reason we chose Merry Acres. The A/C unit in our room was dismal at best. Coffee maker in our room took FOREVER to make one cup and then overflowed. Upon arrival, the ice bucket had melted water in it from previous usage. The complimentary breakfast is basically frozen food that must be microwaved. Nothing freshly made. The television is to small for the size of the room. On a positive note, the water pressure in the shower was perfect. Property definitely needs upgrading!

From the reviews and pictures I was expecting a pretty little inn off that held wedding receptions, etc. The pictures are very misleading. The "Inn" is on a main road, and the rooms are behind the main inn picture in a motor court style. There is a lot of construction going on. The room had a sticky floor and the bathroom tub had at least 2 different layers of peeling paint, a leaking faucet, as well as water damage to the door and surrounding areas. There was no closet door and I could hear the people in the adjacent room. There was not a good seal on the main door to the room so light and air streamed in. The cherry on top was the ROOSTER and other chickens living on the property that woke me up around 5:30 am each morning. The hotel was a stop to break up a trip I had to make from FL to AL, otherwise I would have left after the first night.

When we arrived the office was under construction and it wasn't convenient to register. The pool was also under construction and were not able to use it. There was no prior notice of the construction. The king bed was comfortable but the room was in need of updates. It was also not as clean as you would expect for the price. Two roosters and many chickens roamed the property which didn't bother us but I can see how some people would object. The location was close to a very nice brewery and the Flint River park.

There was a concert that we didn’t know about; wasn’t prior informed. Parking space was limited; sort of an inconvenience. Go home Saturday night and the lights were out; no lights or air for 4 hours; a big inconvenience!

Breakfast Insubstantial
The service that I received was exceptional. When I got in very, very late to the airport, Jacob and Sean took care of me. Jacob was the friendly voice on the phone when I called from Atlanta to let the hotel know what time I was flying in to Albany and needed to be picked up. Sean was there to pick me up and made sure that I got checked in with Jacob and settled in my room. The room was nice and spacious. The bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, this hotel stated that it offered breakfast and it really shouldn’t. There was only cereal and frozen waffles and frozen pancakes. No bread for toast. Not even a banana or apple. No protein whatsoever and nothing hot at all. If a hotel states that it has breakfast, especially, one that is on the higher end of room rates, it needs to have, at the very least, scrambled eggs and either sausage or bacon. I was very disappointed and hungry. I could have stayed at one of the cheaper hotels and actually had a decent breakfast.
