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.

This location has been recently renovated but I didn't have any issues the last time I stayed last fall. There's a bar on site that stays open late, and plenty of places to dock your boats. The location is near several restaurants you could easily walk to, and a few miles down the road are even more choices. The beds are comfy and the pool always looks inviting, though I have yet to try it out. I always get a room with the lake view. There's a busy highway in front of the hotel but the noise doesn't bother me. The only downside might be the cost. But...factoring in the location and the delicious breakfast, I don't even think that's a deal breaker. I come here when I need a break from city life.

This is not a hotel at all but rather an old motel style place with outdoor access. This was not mentioned anywhere in the listings. You get in the rooms and the walls are dingy, you can see every drywall seam and every spot where they did paint touchups. They have dirty linoleum floors and tiny bathrooms with low ceilings. The elevator was a joke as the button for the second floor has to be pushed 20 times to get it to register and make the elevator go.

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.

I now have infected bed bug bites all over my body and my left eye is swollen shut. Hotel management admitted they knew about the infestation and their excuse was that "all hotels in Guntersville, AL have bed bugs." No kidding the manager said that to me. Furthermore, the hotel manager refused to do anything such as pay for my medical treatment, move me to another hotel, etc. NOTHING! I have pictures of live bed bugs crawling in the bed I was sleeping in and pictures of the bites on my body if you would like to see them. This place is a health hazard and needs to be shut down!! I reported this hotel to the county health department before leaving town.
