Smith Center Hotel Deals
"I only come here once a year. Last year was great. I had issues with door, heat wasn’t on in room when I arrived, and staff asked she was going to slow when I checked in. Plus she had her kid at front desk with her. Personally I thought was unprofessional."
"This was our second stay here and we love it. So cozy and quiet. Only thing we don’t like is they keep the AC turned off so when you arrive you have to turn it on and it takes about 3 hours for it to cool off inside. I really wish the owners would come and turn it on when they know guests are coming. Something small but still. Will still be staying here again."
