Rock hard beds, flat pillows, discoloured sheets and towels, burn marks in the carpet from stove top elements. Carpets are a bunch of mismatched chunks. Bathroom light fixture was falling down. No breakfast available, even though it was advertised (although I wouldn't have eaten there due to the level of care and cleanliness). Security guard was friendly. Front desk workers husband was friendly. Front desk worker seems like there was better things to do than to serve us.
This place has a lot of potential. It could be way better than it is. It would be nice to see things fixed up.

i wont say spotless,carpet needs replacing the whole motel is past due for renovations
I love the property the staff was very friendly and helpful I was in Macon for the homecoming of Mercer University really enjoyed however there was one unexpected a $$55 deposit on the room once you arrive other than everything was great
We ended up leaving the photos below will show why
This motel doesn't look like the pictures on hotel.com plus they had live wires hanging out of ceiling. Very nasty place needs to be removed from the app Hotels. Com got our money back and gave is a 25$ credit
Hotels. Com screwed up our reservation. I had to take the rooms available vs rooms requested and booked. The front desk did the best they could. The hotel needs some tlc, but for price I got what I expected.

The room was clean and ok but on the hallway was heavy smoke smell
Has seen its better days long gone past. If you don't mind the squalor and questionable security this could be the place for you to save some money. Needs a deep cleaning and paint. The guy sleeping in his wrecked car in the parking lot was friendly, hitting me up for money and cigarettes coming and going. I don't think I'll be staying here again.
This place shouldn't be advertised on any platform. It's dirty, smells horrible, and is full of dirty, dangerous-looking homeless people. I decided not to stay and I'm asking for my money back because it's a scam!
Several people trying to sell us drugs and offering to buy our tools for cheap

great people, lousy accessible rooms
the people where fantastic, friendly, and accommodating... BUT why is the handy cap accessible rooms in the back of the hotel? with only the lobby as an entrance? I have a hard time walking and I had to take the nearest room instead of an accessible room that I truly needed.
Reason i gave 1 star on the customer service,we stood in the office area waiting over 20 plus mins for someone to show up,i even called the number 6 times and it just kept ringing,when someone finaly showed up,she had someones baby with her that she was watching,other than that,our stay was fine
First room had wires hanging from the ceiling. So had to get moved to a different room that had 2 full beds instead of 2 queen beds and was noticeably smaller. Both rooms were dingy, old and smelled of something stale. The sheets were clean but obviously stained.
Hotel needs to be condemned and bulldozed. It’s about 75 percent there already. ‘Carpet’ is mismatched squares of moldy carpets.
Wires are hanging out of broken ceiling tiles everywhere. I can’t believe this passed any kind of inspection.
Parking lot is filled with homeless men.
Room was filthy, mattress lumpy, sheets were not clean.
I can’t believe anyone would present this wreck as a functioning hotel.
