Murfreesboro Central Hotel

It is under construction so things are falling apart here. We made reservations a day in advance and when we arrive, NONE of the sheets were washed and the bathroom had a musty and unclean smell. To note, I found some skit marks in my sheets when I arrived. The following picture is attached

Property is undergoing remodeling. Many rooms have no refrigerator, ice bucket, cups, or coffee maker. Hallways are cluttered and dirty. Pool is not in service. Web site does not show any of this.

This property is currently being actively renovated, pool is closed, gym is closed, elevator barely works. All which I didn’t know or I would have stayed somewhere else during peak summer season.

The room was clean. The upkeep of the place was subpar if best. Breakfast was lacking. But the price was very good.

Need some renovations, but very clean rooms. The room was very clean and front desk lady was nice and polite. The hotel itself is outdated and there are renovations going on. Shades in the room do not close, so we slept with street light shining in our window. Shower was leaking and every time neighbors flush the toilet we felt like they were doing so on our room. This hotel definitely needs some upgrades, but not a bad place to stay for a short stay.

I'm giving a generous rating, as I would rate the hotel a 2.5 if I could. I travel frequently and usually stay in hotels owned by the competition, but was tired and thought I would try Holiday Inn. The outside of the hotel front didn't look bad and the lobby area was clean, however the parking is bad with very narrow spots crammed into the front of the hotel. You are able to park along the side of the hotel, but there you can get a Birdseye view of how run down the building really is. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and accommodating, as the original room I was assigned had water on the floor by the bathtub. I didn't notice it at first because the lighting in the bathroom was almost non-existent. The room I was then given was a handicap room, which was spacious and basically clean, but the shower area was haphazardly caulked and the sink area extremely small. There was also a strong sewer smell coming into the bathroom and there was no hot water coming from the sink. The curtains would not close completely as they were partially off the rod and the blackout curtain had numerous holes and cracked areas from age. The carpets in the hallway were dingy and the naugahyde on the chairs in the dining area was pitted and cracked with foam evident on the seats. I did not use the laundry area or the ice machine so don't know anything about those items previously mentioned by other reviewers. The bed was very comfortable, however. The truth is, if I hadn't been driving and was able to read all of the other negative reviews, I would have moved on...wish I had now!
