Run down motel

Had to call 911 because I got woken up at 6:50 am by a woman screaming outside and banging on windows because of some kind of domestic dispute. Obviously was not about to go or look outside. I heard young children in the vicinity, so I decided to call police to check on the matter at hand since children were involved. I told the operator I didn't have much info I just heard a screaming woman and children. Next thing I know police arrive and they knock on MY DOOR asking for more info. I again told them I had no other info and was honestly shocked that they felt it was okay to parade my room, because obviously you are now putting me in danger because these violent people now know I called the cops. Left immediately and will not return. Sheesh

Girl the only reason I booked this hotel was because they advertise it is an 8 minute walk to Bonnaroo…that was a lie. There were hair and dead bugs on the floor of the bathroom. No smoke detector in the room, major no no. We were right by the ice machine which was cool but we could hear everyone getting ice. There were 3 bottle caps left by the jacuzzi. It was not worth $500/night.

Refrigerator did not chill anything. Latch/lock to door was broken. Outside stairs smelled like pee. Lobby was not accommodating at all. Sketchy place overall. Do not go here.

This property had bed bugs. We showed images to expedia and Southern inn and still have not received a refund. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Management was threatening and scary. The bedding had paint and room was filthy. I would rather sleep in a car or outside then ever stay here!

The staff was wonderful and it was a convenient location to Bonnaroo and allowed pets. Yes, the rooms could have been cleaned better but it was nothing some Clorox wipes couldn’t take care of. I plan on coming back next year!

Property was filthy, stairwells unsafe (handrail ripped out of the wall, uneven steps covered in grime) Everything, even the asphalt was covered in grime. Furniture had bodily fluid stains, and overwhelming cig smoke even in the non smoking rooms. I switched rooms and it was the same. Hair dryer did not work, tv had impossible to watch picture (dark and fuzzy) Next time i would sleep in my car.,
