Okay guys, I've stayed in Martin Tennessee once before. The first time I stayed in a mom-and-pop hotel, no Motel, and it was really scary. I'm talking something out of a horror movie, with a dangling lamp shade and blinking bulb, and teeny teeny tiny shower.. I was so relieved to find that they have a Hampton Inn, some semblance of civilization in this fantastic small town. Most notable here is the staff. They are all so friendly and so helpful. Second it's very clean here. There's no question that you will be able to check in early if it's not a busy weekend. I saw three cleaning carts on my hall in one day, which tells me that they have an ample staff. The beds are what what knocked it down a star. They are cheap and bouncy as all get out. Which is fine when you're sleeping alone, but not when you have a partner in the bed. You will feel every move they make, and be hoisted into the sky if someone else helps in the bed. The blankets are very thick and very heavy, but if you look in the closet there may be a thinner blanket for a pull out bed. Regular tub showers are in the bathrooms, with Neutrogena bath products. Breakfast in the morning is complementary, and they have Continental waffles, muffins, toast, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and two hot items, which vary. Our first morning we had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. Today, it was Denver omelet with smoked sausage slices. The pool was small, rectangular, and had a rinsing station, and a restroom. I made use of the laundry facilities, which take $2 in quarters per machine. Change is available at the front desk. I noticed that they did not have a Yelp page yet, and was sad that people might be missing out on this great little hotel. read more
