After putting those two on, the smell dissipated by the next time I entered. As for the room itself, it was fine. Plenty of outlets, very normal accommodations. The TV was a bit small and the fridge was actually kinda big. I liked that there was even a couch /seating area. We had been told that the breakfast was going to be amazing so I was really looking forward to it. I was surprised to find it had most of the same breakfast foods you get these days at hotels. And of the 5 things I tried, 2 were terrible. Maybe skip the eggs and biscuits. The people were plenty nice though!

The rooms are very thin and the Manager was very rude. Try to throw it on me to tell him when somebody is peeing in the pool.

The front desk was not managed 24/7 as expected, and pet policy (which have learned is different…read morefor each Hampton) was not transparent nor did front desk provide information about pets upon check-in. This establishment is not pet-friendly as advertised: (1) was charged twice for the pet (1 small dog) fee (billing has reviewed the receipt and is working on the correction/refund). Got yelled at by restaurant staff (Y****da) in front of other guests for bringing the10-12 pound dog on a leash into the area for breakfast (the previous Hampton stayed at allowed a dog on a leash in he area to get a plate of food) and she loudly and openly accused us of lying while near the food when we replied we never saw the sign prohibiting this action. A lot of things went wrong at this establishment; can't recommend it to others. Y should not have yelled and also her body language (hand on one hip, then arms crossed, then hand on the hip again) screamed out disrespect and anger; instead, she chose to not be polite, explain the situation quietly and respectfully. She was quite awful. Further, because of this incident, we wanted to check out as fast as possible, however, no one was at the front desk (nor available by calling from the room's phone), even though later they claimed they were there the whole time. Had to leave the keys in the room. With all this going on, there is no way anyone would have felt welcome.

I…read moreagree with others who note this is the only decent hotel in the area, but I think it's one of the best Holiday Inn Express location I've stayed at. People are friendly, prices are decent, but for me the fact that the temperature is easy to control and consistent is a huge deal! I think a big part of that is that there's an easy to use digital THERMOSTAT I can adjust rather than a clunky control on the wall unit. They just completed a remodel that looks great. All the brown wood cabinet, granite counter tops and dated furnishings are gone. New paint, new bathroom fittings and new furniture (including beds) make this hotel even better. My only complaint is that the "free breakfast" served across all the Holiday Inn Express locations need updating. A decent bagel and better OJ would be a good step up. Next time I'm in town this is where I'll be staying.

There were no issues with setting the thermostat; the rooms were immaculately clean and the service by Megan at the front desk and Bailey at the bar was top notch. As my husband and I were sitting at the bar during happy hour (and yes they have a nice happy hour!), we noticed Bailey going and bringing out the most beautiful and large salads from the kitchen. I think next time, we should order from the restaurant on premises. The lobby has a more elite look that we enjoy.

They got a theater room that you can enjoy. The owner/host chandra is so nice and friendly. You can never go wrong in this place. The drive around the town is pretty cool with all the nature and lake views. Restaurants serve good seafood , fresh and yummy. I really recommend this place to everyone. Best experience so far!

Bed was comfortable, nice hot shower, smart tv for Netflix etc. and 5th extra star because there was a ceiling fan! $150 for two nights was a steal and would stay again. Had breakfast in the morning and checkout at 11. Only downside was the walls are really thin and we heard a man coughing horribly one night. Honestly I have stayed at expensive hotels that were run down more than this. If your looking for the Ritz this ain't it. If you want a comfortable bed and a place to crash in a small town, this place fits the bill.

The lobby is large with area to sit as well as fish tank and snacks available for purchase. The room was clean with modern furnishings (sans the old microwave lol but if it ain't broke why replace it?) with everything in good repair. We felt quite comfortable. The A/C unit is very powerful and effective. The beds are wonderfully cushioning and I fell asleep easily and awoke well rested! The shower has two knobs and confused me at first but will deliver soothing hot water with an easy-going flow. The toilet paper was cheap and awful but LOL. We did notice a weird smell by the sink but it didn't permeate the room so it didn't bug us too much. Considering this was the only thing wrong with the place, we felt lucky after a string of very hit-or-miss other motels along our route. This location is near the freeway but thankfully the noise isn't too disturbing. There's a lovely pool in the back which we unfortunately didn't have time to check out. However there was an amazing continental breakfast downstairs, with waffle makers, mini muffins, cereal, yogurt, and Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches. Such delight! We'd forgotten this simple pleasure while so many motels are still using COVID as an excuse to not provide this once expected service.

Admittedly our family is a little particular. OK maybe very particular. We searched the immediate area and found this location but we're skeptical. The reviews on another site we're actually stellar which capped off our decision to try something a little unique and we were not disappointed. Samantha's timber Inn appears to be an old style motel that has been completely renovated. Each room as unique as the website indicates with a specific theme. Ours was a boat theme and the pictures posted here don't do the place justice. Tongue and groove pine board paneling and matching decorations down to the shower curtain made you feel like you were in a ship. The space is sprawling including a separate bedroom with a queen size bed. It was meticulously clean and very well appointed. TVs, microwave, coffee maker with coffee and condiments. Super plush towels. Comfortable beds. Wi-fi. We had just pulled in and I received a call asking if we arrived OK and had found the key under the doormat as promised. Check out was smooth and easy. We felt incredibly comfortable in the space and would recommend it to anyone but especially a family.

We arrived after midnight and promptly got a room. It was clean, and well made up. A mini-refrigerator and the microwave both worked, plus we had cable and HBO. The AC worked like a charm, it got us down to 65 degrees! The shower was hot and very nice after a long hike. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were nice, could be improved, but not scratchy. The rooms were pretty large too, lots of room for luggage and space for what ever. There was also a table to eat at or play a game, and a well lit bathroom/vanity. The grounds were well maintained and well lit. I forgot my pillow and they notified me that I left it. I'm very grateful I chose to stay here instead of anywhere else we passed on my way to, and from the national park from Texas. Great customer service, and overall experience. Thank you, guys!
