- WDWhitney DevineyNov 28, 20251.0What a disaster with a disgusting no people skill having General Manger and I use that term loosely MELISSA COTTON. I booked a room online thru Expedia. I’m driving from Nashville TN WHERE I LIVE AND OWN A HOUSE! I have a TN drivers license and my car has a TN tag because I AM A TENNESSEE RESIDENT!!!! Melissa calls while I’m driving and is immediately RUDE. She states they don’t rent to locals so I can’t have a room. I explained that I’m not a local and am a resident of TN. Her response was “Since when?” EXCUSE ME!!!! Since I sold my house a year and a half ago and MOVED TO Tennessee!!! My children still have family here and I’m driving in to pick them up. I’m staying one night. She says VERY RUDELY that if I have a TN drivers license I can check in. I drive the 7 hours in my car that has a TN tag I get here and am told I’m on a “do not rent list” I ask why and just told that I won’t be checking in. I asked what I did to be put on a list they didn’t have an answer. What is going on MELISSA????

- IRIris RobertsNov 12, 20255.0We stayed here because our friends were having a wedding in thr area. Great hotel tucked away from the main road but you could walk across the parking lot to Sonic. Yjis hotel had a very friendly and kind staff. The hotel was exeptionally clean from yhe lobby to our room. I was quite pleased. We got a good night's sleep as well. Breakfast was hot and good. The only thing was that water pressure was very weak. Other than that I would recommend to stay here if you are ever in the area.
