This motel was nice and clean.. Check-in and check out were seamless. It is false advertising for the breakfast and the Egyptian cotton bedding lol..but I wasn't expecting much. The "breakfast" is Little Debbie snack ckes but the coffee is delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

Avoid this Dump!

I would avoid this property and pay the extra $50 to stay in All Seasons. Very poorly maintained property, the “breakfast “ consisted of coffee and some cheap sweets. A real dump, not worth $131/night
Breakfast. Really?

Sasquatch Shaving Party

Pictures are deceiving they are about 30 years behind. Place is run down and unclean. Checked into room uneaten food left in a styrofoam container on top of microwave. Pubic hair left all over bathroom counter and in sink. Looked like they had a sasquatch shaving party. Food remenants in the sink strainer. Hair on every towel pulled from the rack. Stained sheets hair in the bed also. Booked this through hotels.com with no refund otherwise I would have left and found another place to stay. Slept on top of blankets.

We got to the hotel late. When we got to our room, it was in terrible condition. The toilet and bathroom wall was literally covered in sh! . When I showed the picture to the guy at the front desk, he was very apologetic. I would have left, be we found out there were absolutely zero rooms anywhere around Gaylord for 50 miles, that's why we ended up here. The carpets were filthy, dead bugs/wasps in the windows. Run from this place. If i hadn't had kids with me, i would have slept in my car.
