So disappointed! This was the host hotel of a convention I was attending so I made a reservation not knowing the area. When we got there the hotel restaurants were closed so we asked for recommendations and they referred us to the Waffle House or Taco Bell. I thought for sure I was in for 3 days of vending machine dining.
Thank heavens for Yelp - when I looked up what was in the area I discovered that not only was the Whistle Stop Cafe that was the star of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes nearby, but there was a wood oven pizza restaurant, country style local buffet and a really special fine dining establishment that grits into something you can't live without - all within 10 miles.
What a wasted opportunity for this hotel to support other local businesses. When I went to my room and finally got the outside door to open I was met with a very unpleasant smell - the room smelled like mold or mildew. I started sneezing at that point and didn't stop until I got home.
They advertised free wifi - I never could get connected even though I called down to the front desk for help, and no one else with our conference could as well. The hotel bar was awful - the music was so loud no one could carry on a conversation.
Bottom line - always trust Yelp. read more
