I arrived around 10pm, where I was sitting in my car talking on the phone when someone comes up to me in the parking lot asking me if I was staying at that hotel, what was my room number and what was my name. They had no hotel insignias on any of their clothing, wearing all black, and it felt super sketchy. I was straight up rude to them, and refused to give them any information. At which point they walked into the hotel and after a moment, wrapped up my call, and went into the hotel. This person was indeed the front desk clerk, who was checking if I was supposed to be there or not. I apologized for being rude, but told them, that was very sketchy thing to do. In retrospect, it seems like a risk for the clerk.
After checking in, the room has the same bedding as the other Sleep Inn I has stayed in for 2 nights prior. The room smelled like nothing. I know that sounds weird, but not dirty, not stale, not fresh, not like any cleaning agents. Neutral. The actual state of the room, walls, celing, etc... felt like it was 30 years old and in need of updating. And then for breakfast the next morning (arrived @ 8:30AM) was this tiny space the same size as my room with yogurt and cereal, the only hot food was a waffle maker, and toast. no eggs, sausage, fruit, bacon, or anything else. The OJ tasted like cleaner, I would give the Murfreesboro Sleep Inn a 4.5 stars, this location comes in at a 3. If the bedding wasn't the same, it feels like 2 completely different chains.
