Hotels near Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary

"The room was clean though the common areas were a bit shabby. There was a group with a lot of high schoolers there and they were very loud, both in the lobby and the halls. The room smelled a bit musty, but after a while I didn’t notice it as much (not sure if that was because I cranked the air conditioning or that I got used to it). The bed had a definite dent in the mattress and I had to shift my position to get comfortable. Not a great stay, but adequate for my purposes "

"I especially liked how wild let the outside of the hotel was. It made us feel very safe. The hotel did have a strange smell inside our room. It was too cold to go swimming in the outdoor pool so I don’t know how the condition was. Breakfast was good, but I wish it would’ve had some sort of protein, other than yogurt and milk. Staff was excellent and very friendly. Beds were very comfortable and everything was pretty clean. Overall, I would definitely stay there again because for the price it was a very nice hotel. "

"I got there and no one was at the front desk and through my stay they're was no one at the desk they were outside with the weirdos. I think this hotel is a homeless shelter. It's states on their website, they have an indoor pool and it's used for storage or something. I will never stay here or recommend anyone to stay here "

"I booked 3 rooms so that my family would be together. We were on different floors! One room smelled like carpet glue. We were not aware that the property was undergoing major renovations. I chose to pay at property but when we checked out we were told it was paid in full since my parents and in laws were in 2/3 of the rooms and were going to pay for theirs at the hotel. They could not provide a receipt because we booked through Expedia. When I looked on my Expedia account, it said since I was paying at the hotel, a receipt would be provided at the hotel. It was not. I am waiting to see if my credit card will be charged for all 3 rooms or one. I’ve never had this issue before. Overpriced for quality of stay while under renovation. "

"No do not disturb sign, was told I have to buy one from Walmart. No coffee maker, no soap, no blow dryer. The walls are soooo thing you hear everything!! No privacy, the bed was so bad we had to leave early due to the noise and lack of comfort. This hotel is horrible. "

"It's okay for the most part could be cleaned better. Rooms aren't always stocked with necessary items. Laundry is always broke. Breakfast is little to none half the time could add some fruit toast or even cereal."

"Well, when I read that it was rated higher & cheaper than the Holiday Inn, I thought we'd try it out. Really bad breakfast bar, the room smelled, we were quoted one price but charged more, so go to the Holiday or Comfort Inns."

"Incredibly rude check in. Young kid in glasses with the absolute polar opposite of hospitality in the hospitality industry. The last time I was here, my 2nd floor room’s window was right above a smoking area. Cigarette smoke was coming directly into my wall ac unit (you could see it). It was disgusting. I went down to ask the same kid to move rooms (this was literally an hour after I had just checked in). He said “Maybe we can just ask them not to smoke there.”. Genius lol. Let’s tell the other guests not to smoke in the smoking area. And also, when we tell those guests, it’ll solve the problem - because certainly all other guests would also get that memo. This hotel is old, gross, and ran by moronic rude family. Stay away."

"Good location, and mostly adequate for a short stay. The drainpipe underneath the sink was not actually connected to the sink, so it spilled on the floor when faucet was higher volume. Key stopped working in morning and when I approached housekeeping they were pretty rude. Refrigerator was very loud at times. "
