Within a month, we had bought a Camper and found a Campground (over in Leesburg) to park it permanently on, but the local co-op Power Company couldn't get the power on for a day or so. So, we looked for somewhere to stay here locally in Cherokee county for a night or two. The other accommodations in town did not seem AT ALL favorable, and had us kind of worried, so we decided to give Bay Springs Motel/Marina a shot, based on a some good reviews on some other websites. (There really are NOT a ton of reviews on local motels in Cherokee County, so it can be a little intimidating, if you are from out of town, and find yourself in this type of situation!) All I can tell you is THIS: We have stayed in a TON of 5-Star Hotels, and of course did not expect anything near that Quality in a small town... But, we were SO SURPRISED. I can tell you that I have NEVER seen such a spotless room, nor such attention to detail, nor such a wonderful Check-in as we received by Ms Terri... This place is TRULY a hidden Gem. We have since been back a 2nd time (when our Camper had a plumbing leak, and we needed a place to stay quickly...) She and her son, Darcy, both live on premises and are there for ANYTHING that you need.. I genuinely wish that more Hotels and Motels were more attentive to detail like this, and gave this kind of genuine, locally-owned, and TRUE hospitality. Do NOT hesitate to stay here. I would give this Motel 6-Stars, but it only allows me FIVE. ;) Truly a great place. Dusty

I've never stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, and my other choice priced themselves out of my business that evening. I found this hotel to be clean and the staff was friendly.

This hotel, its staff, and Hilton Corporate are useless and horrible. The hotel has so many things…read morebroken that it should not still be operating. It also falsely advertises amenities that do not exist and 100% guarantees that are not honored. This review explains these issues, with photos and screenshots attached. Upon check-in, the room itself seemed clean and updated. Then I went into the bathroom. The shower was disgusting, with the white sealant chipped and peeling leaving black spots and mildew, and the base of the tub stained dirty. Everything else was so much worse that the shower was ultimately forgotten for photos for this review. After check-in, we moved our vehicle from the entrance to rear parking. As we went back in, we noticed that the pool was broken. This property is advertised as having a heated outdoor pool. I complained via text, and staff responded "I'm sorry due to renovations the pool is out of service until Memorial day." Staff later said that the pool is simply closed over winter until Memorial Day. Both answers are unacceptable, given that the property is advertised with a heated outdoor pool listed as an amenity - and one that we were expecting to use. A picture of the pool is attached to the review as Figure 5. Screenshots of the website for this property showing the promised amenities are attached as Figure 1 and 2. During check-in, we noticed that one elevator was completely down (see figures 6 and 7). That wasn't a concern initially, because there was still one working elevator - we thought. The second night of our stay, upon coming back to the hotel, we found the other elevator also broken. In case the property tries to claim that elevators are not guaranteed, a screenshot of the website highlighting elevators is attached as Figure 3. I again texted the front desk, and they admitted to the problem, as well as Elaina previously lying about why the pool is out of service. So, we took the stairs. This is fine once or twice, except the stairwell smelled so badly of mildew that I questioned the safety of staying in the building. When you can SMELL mold, existing in the space is unhealthy. On the third day, we thought the elevator was broken again. Pushing the button on the first floor to call the elevator did nothing. We took the rancid-smelling stairs again. It turned out that only the light on the button was broken, but given the issues from the night before where the entire elevator was broken, how would anybody know that? On the fourth day, the hot water was out. I sent another text, which went unanswered. We wanted to shower before leaving the hotel but were unable to do so. On our way out of the hotel, we stopped by the front desk to inform them and ask for compensation. At this point, staff demanded that we check out a day early and vacate the premises. As we were packing, I called Hilton customer service. 56 minutes on the phone with no help from the call center. The agent I spoke with tried to make it seem like a benefit that we weren't being charged for late checkout, but we did not checkout willingly, so this is further absurdity and absolute blame-shifting gaslighting. As we were leaving the room, we encountered people just checking in. We asked them if they had hot water and they did not. They were not notified that the hot water was out, either. The hotel still checked them in like everything was fine. I thought Hilton has brand standards - and this hotel fails many important ones. The Hilton website has several things on it for this property that are falsely advertised by Hilton directly. Aside from the "heated outdoor pool", there are two more things that are listed on the website that don't even exist: Tennis and a "Private Marina". We did not intend to play tennis, but there are no tennis courts as advertised. There is also no "Private Marina" as advertised. Again, see Figures 1 and 2. These amenities listings and "100% Hampton Guarantee" (Figure 4) that was not honored point to intentional lies by Hilton directly (due to the website as mentioned above) and the property. The fact that Hilton and the property think this amount of lying is acceptable is incomprehensible to me. I made the reservation on April 13, 2026, for a stay from April 17, 2026 through April 21, 2026. Surely, on April 13, 2026, the hotel (and Hilton directly) knew that the pool was non-operational, yet all parties chose not to update the website. One of these issues is bad enough, but all of them together are beyond unacceptable. Staff (at the hotel, and in the call center) offered nothing but hostility, excuses, and lies. This property and my call with Hilton support completely tarnish the Hilton reputation. It is over a month after my stay and the website still incorrectly advertises the non-existent amenities and 100% guarantee. The property did not offer me monetary compensation, and neither did Hilton customer service. I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company.

The staff here is so friendly and the breakfast is better than I've experienced at any other Hampton inn. Biscuits every day, southern style gravy, berry waffles, or chocolate waffles (not both on the same day), it's so good. Housekeeping every other day with full service every fourth. It's good that way. I never had any trouble parking or with construction noises. There are very few spaces in front so you'll need to park out back and either walk around or use your key to get in the building. Some spaces are taken up by construction trailers but I still saw plenty of parking. Price is not too bad, in dollars or points, especially if you book well ahead of time. My room was quiet despite being right next to the elevator, further rooms are likely even quieter. Unfortunately all they had available when I selected my room was right next to elevator on second floor or same room on fourth floor which also had adjoining room. I figured second floor without adjoining room would be quieter and was right. It was fine. All in all a very nice hotel, not much nearby though since this is rural Alabama. Chains and a couple mom and pop shops in downtown scottsboro a couple miles away.

My stay at the Econolodge in Fort Payne, Alabama on 6/22 in a word was disappointing. From the…read moremoment I checked in, a constant barrage of issues seemed to follow. Someone on the hotel staff had the ingenious stroke of inspiration to prop my hotel door open. Let me reiterate. After "cleaning", my room door had been propped open. Keep in mind, this door is the single barrier keeping anyone (Econolodge guest or not) from simply walking in to my room. Not only was this extremely annoying, this issue in my mind is a complete safety concern/issue. (Not to mention the insets, mosquitoes, and flies with whom I now had to share my room.) When I checked in, there were also large puddles of water standing in the room. From the doorway to the center of the room. (And on the bizarre, the peep hole in my door had been stuffed with paper tissues. Not an issue that effected my stay, but an extremely random detail). I alerted the front desk to these issues immediately upon check in. Their response to the propped door and water was "Is your room clean? Then you have nothing to worry about. Sometimes the cleaning staff does that". I understand this isn't the Four Seasons, but a working air conditioner would also have been appreciated since my room had be thoroughly "aired out". (In the summer, in Alabama, you can imagine it's rather warm outdoors.) A warmth my room never recovered from during the remainder of my stay. From blood on the sheets, to hair in the restroom, to a bed that felt positively like sleeping on bamboo, I wouldn't want a repeat of this experience nor would I recommend a friend stay here. I understand everyone has bad days, but unfortunately this will be a lasting impression.
