Girl the only reason I booked this hotel was because they advertise it is an 8 minute walk to Bonnaroo…that was a lie. There were hair and dead bugs on the floor of the bathroom. No smoke detector in the room, major no no. We were right by the ice machine which was cool but we could hear everyone getting ice. There were 3 bottle caps left by the jacuzzi. It was not worth $500/night.

Stains all over the walls. Bathroom door didn’t close. Shower curtain stained. Minimal towel/wash clothes. Did not bring additional towels when asked. Furniture was stained. Refrigerator did not chill anything. Latch/lock to door was broken. Outside stairs smelled like pee. Lobby was not accommodating at all. Sketchy place overall. Do not go here.

This property had bed bugs. We showed images to expedia and Southern inn and still have not received a refund. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Management was threatening and scary. The bedding had paint and room was filthy. I would rather sleep in a car or outside then ever stay here!

The staff was wonderful and it was a convenient location to Bonnaroo and allowed pets. Yes, the rooms could have been cleaned better but it was nothing some Clorox wipes couldn’t take care of. I plan on coming back next year!

Property was filthy, stairwells unsafe (handrail ripped out of the wall, uneven steps covered in grime) Everything, even the asphalt was covered in grime. Furniture had bodily fluid stains, and overwhelming cig smoke even in the non smoking rooms. I switched rooms and it was the same. Hair dryer did not work, tv had impossible to watch picture (dark and fuzzy) Next time i would sleep in my car.,

Look at my photos.

The rooms are quiet. The hotel location is amazing. The girl at the front desk is delightful. BUT seriously guys. CLEAN THE ROOMS. The room despite being non smoking stunk of weed. Air it out ? Bugs everywhere. One crawled on me as I slept. Killed it… see photo… many cockroaches. Cigarette butts in the floor, dirty tissues on the floor. Stains and dirt everywhere. HOW is this possible. You have cleaning staff… all you have to do is clean. I left at 2am and slept in my truck. The roof was quiet… but breathing is optional. Sadly hotels won’t allow for refunds ….
