    We absolutely LOVED this place The vibe was chill. The rooms are so unique. Comfortable beds & linens. Fabulous shower!! We stayed in the Elvis room and LOVED IT! Chilled out in the courtyard with mimosas in the morning. Enjoyed just sitting out front and enjoying the quiet country vibe. If you're a Schitts Creek fan, it has that vibe!! Except the Motel is in much better shape than that!!! The owners are awesome, took time to chat with us and give us a little history on the place.

    Booked the Havana Room for a last minute stay. Check in and check was super easy. Room was super fun decorated. It was nice and quiet. Loved the tile in the bathroom and the glitter grout! We will definitely be back when in the area.

    What a gem tucked into a small Georgia town just outside of Chattanooga, TN! We went down with a group of teens for a photo shoot and couldn't get enough pics within this amazing motel! The owners have clearly put their heart and soul into making this a magical getaway for travelers. Each room was unique and totally different. We had the 50's movie theme room, complete with candy and popcorn. Another room was a 70's rock band theme with orange shag carpet on the wall and a disco ball light fixture. Beyond the decor was a comfortable room with memory foam mattress and cozy bedding. Each room had a coffee maker, hair dryer, clothes steamer, soft towels and plenty of storage for your clothes and personal items. During the evening we took advantage of the lovely courtyard with multiple fireplace options and comfy furniture. The owners introduced themselves and made us feel welcome. They were delighted to help make sure our photography experience was perfect! Within a 30 min drive you have hiking trails, the state park and Chattanooga. Definitely on my list of places to visit again!

    Wow, what a great place! Right at two hours from Birmingham, AL, so a pretty easy run. The last 25…read moremiles are so take you through Mentone on the back roads and it is rather pleasant (as long as the GPS holds out). We went to use Amex Hilton free night benefits and they were kind enough to up-grade us to the side of the facility with the better views and a balcony. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The pool an hot tub looked really inviting, but it was just a little too cold for me to take the dip (I regret that decision now btw). Be sure to call ahead to ask about the amenities. For example, the hotel has its own six-hole course that I think you can play for free. Had I known, I'd of brought my clubs an booked a t-time. My wife went to the spa and said it was great.

    Cloudland at McLemore was an unexpected surprise! Nestled atop Lookout Mountain, about 20 minutes…read moreoutside of Mentone,AL, this Hilton Curio resort offers views, one of the best spas I have ever been to (see review for Selah) and a rustic, upscale but cozy design you might see in a Vale or Jackson Hole ski lodge. The staff is top notch and the rooms are well appointed. We had a room on the Terrace level where we could walk right out to the heated pool and hot tub (which we skipped, but it looked amazing)! It's very dog-friendly with walking and hiking trails, stunning golf course, fire pits, games, and other amenities, for just about any visitor. The only thing that missed the mark was the food service and quality. We went to Croft, but I expect the food quality is similar at both onsite restaurants.). Otherwise, it's a magical spot to spend any long weekend or holiday.

    We were passing through the area and stopped in for the night after seeing King rooms available in…read morethe IHG app. Stopped in and the kind young man at the front desk promptly greeted us and confirmed a king was available. First impressions of the lobby and main floor is that it's a been remodeled nicely but it is a bit tight compared with many of the more recently built Holiday Inn Express locations. The business center computer and printer is almost directly across the wall from the front desk. A user would have zero privacy using the computer at this location. The staff member was friendly and accommodating- generously offering two room options- second or fifth floor room. Maybe that is the beauty of not booking in advance as we normally would. We appreciated being given an option and chose the fifth floor so no one would be over us. Both elevators are working and air conditioned. The main hallway on the fifth floor was cool also. Upon entering room 509- it was hot and humid. The thermostat read 83 and was set on 61, cool and fan set to 'on'. It was about 9:00 PM. After moving the fan to 'auto', the unit seemed to be blowing cold air-so we left for a bit to eat. We didn't unload our luggage from the cart to see if the room cooled off while we were eating. On our way out, we spoke to the staff member and he said he could move us to another room if needed. Thankfully when we returned, the room was cooler and thermostat read 73. The room is updated and modern. Appears at first glance to be clean- the pillows and sheets were spotless. Love the double door armoire closet. We've stayed in a lot of new or updated HIE hotels and never seen this design before. The bed is supportive and comfortable, all lights in the room worked. Has outlets and USB ports at each nightstand. Xfinity cable which is a plus. Room also has a microwave, pod coffee maker (all pods left were decaf?!?) and a working fridge. However, the freezer part needs to be defrosted badly. Now for the negatives- which were found in the bathroom after I unpacked our personal care items. Although the towels looked nice white and clean- more than one of them had long dark hairs in them. Then I looked in the tub and there were at least TEN (10) 2-3 inch hairs in the bottom. Very obvious from standing height and clearly from the last guest in this room. Grossed out by the hairy situation is an understatement. We have stayed in A LOT of this brand hotel and NEVER found anything like this before. Aside from the hair, there are also clear plumbing concerns. The most obvious is the long brown water stain under the bathroom sink along the tile. It is no longer leaking- but I took a damp towel and wiped along the stain. You can see from my pictures that it does wipe up- it just hasn't been cleaned. Three strikes for me on lack of cleaning. Also the shower head squeals when the water is running. When you try to adjust it, the pipe from the wall moves with it. Plus it sprays so hard that the too short shower curtain doesn't contain the water and it makes a wet mess on the floor outside the edges of the tub. It breaks my heart a little to find negatives like this at a Holiday Inn Express, especially when it appears to have been nicely updated and modernized. We plan to come back to Chattanooga to visit, but we won't stay here again.
