Smith Motel — Hotel in Calhoun

If you want to feel like you are in jail then this would be the place for you to stay. For the price, the rooms are decent. But that's about all I can say. If you stay here long term do not expect privacy. Even when you are not there, the owner Nick tells his staff to go in your room anyways. Late at night, he creeps around the motel stopping to listen in at people's doors. You can not have any company. If you do he will call your room phone demanding to know who is in your room with you or he is outside your door listening. He will stop your company (family and all) and tell them not to come back on the property. You are not allowed to socialize with other residents, you are to stay in your own rooms. Even long term guests he harasses when it is time for your next payment due. He will call hours before checkout to ask if you are staying because if not he wants to book your room for someone else. He will talk about other guests to you and turn around and talk about you to other guests, but he rarely addresses any problems he has with you. He will tell people you are trouble or slick or do not talk to them, etc. Very unprofessional. We stayed there for about a year, within that year 2 people died there. One in which the body was in the room for a week before they discovered it was there. Roaches are pretty bad too. Cleanliness is bare minimum. Our door wouldn't shut properly. Our air conditioner was sitting on top of wooden blocks. Our curtain had mildew on one side and it took them weeks...

The lady at the front desk kept asking me if I had a dog or a puppy or something. Got to the room upstairs and it is nasty. The walls look like someone cooked(like in a stove when it splatters, tho I’m sure that’s not what happened) and forgot to clean. There was absolutely no toilet paper. Two very small towels like I couldn’t have wrapped one around my phantom dog or kittie. The bed was like laying down on a bbq grate with a hole cause you will fall in in certain places. It was definitely “rode hard and put up wet”. I have yet to see a coke machine or snacks, the parking is very limited and I have seen 5-10 German roaches. All of this for a great fee of 70$. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone else. Unless you wanna swat bugs off your face while you sleep. Oh yeah no coffee pot and the bathtub had a huge bandaid like patch on it that looks as if it shouldn’t get wet. For 70$ I should have at least had a cup of roach coffee for the morning. The floor is so grossly sticky if you walk barefoot- prepare for grocery store feet. And there is not an extra safety lock on the door so single females beware! 70$...

I stayed here for about 5 months. The experience was very satisfying. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. There were no bugs of any kind. The rooms were serviced with ease. If there was an issue pertaining to the room, the owners took care of the problem immediately without any waiting. The prices are more than fair for these rooms. Some of the rooms have been newly renovated and they are spectacular, really something to see. All the rooms have new beds with new mattresses( mattresses are very thick and of high standard. The office help is very friendly and quick to offer services. The office offers multiple kinds of snacks, as well as all kinds of canned drinks.( The food and drink prices are very reasonable.). I just can't say enough about this place.If you are looking for a Nice ,Clean place to stay that is located just walking distance to I-75, and surrounded by several restaurants. This is your place, DO NOT...
