Pool was closed, vending machien was completly empty, gym was not 24 hours like advertised and got eaten up by something. Also on our second night there we got woken up by a crash in our room. And found that the headboard on the wall behind our heads had fallen down. Luckly it just slid down in between the bed and the wall.

Expedia agent lied to me and told me there was no availability at the Holiday inn express down the street. I was in this room for 15min. Smelled like stale smoke. Doors were not secure and I did not feel safe so I left room 114. I ended up booking my own room at the Holiday in. Express. Disappointed with Expedia's customer service and morals lying to customers to save Expedia money!

For the location (Forest City/Spindale) and the price per night, I was blown away. I thought for sure with how cheap it was there would at least be roaches in the rooms? But they were very clean, staff was friendly, and I would be happy to stay again. However, just know going into it that this isn’t the Hilton or some other upscale hotel, it’s affordable, and they do this very well.

Go somewhere eles. Its not worth the $ you save.
Dirty. The sheets were stained. The tub was filthy. The toilet had hair and dust snd a smear on it. The towels had a brown substance on them. We had rude neighbors who were loud. Didn't help the walls are thin. When i go there it was technically the next day from my reservation and they couldn't check me in without staring a new reservation.

Bed smells like BO place is a dump
This place is a dump. There were bugs in the bathroom, bed smelled like BO. Half an inch of daylight under the door. Security lock on door didn’t work. Window sill rotted, curtain tattered. They won’t let you in the lobby for security reasons. When I told them I was unhappy and checking out early (the next day) they refused to refund all of the nights I didn’t stay. I found an ABB $20 a night cheaper, and they earned my 5 star review.

My friends and I reserved 3 separate rooms for ourselves due to a wedding. The people who own and run this place are great. So kind, even when we received a noise complaint! Our rooms were well take care of and were fully accommodating.
