Hallmarc Inn

This place sucks. We stayed here on two occasions. The first time because we didn’t know the area at all. The first experience was less than mediocre but bearable for the price. Our second visit we found not only the formentioned filthiness, but also blatant signs that the room hadn’t been cleaned in what looked like weeks/​months. There was a condom wrapper on the floor along with multiple dried out cheetos… and the WORST part, a huge red stain on the top sheet. It seriously looked like someone had been murdered in the room. I told one of the housekeepers and she said «don’t worry, it’s been washed» and replaced it. KINDA NOT THE POINT. Seriously this is the worst experience of lodging I have ever experienced

All the other hotels in the area were booked so we pulled into the Hallmarc hoping the rooms were not horrible. To our surprise, they were very nice! The room was clean and remodeled with a flatscreen TV and coffee maker. The room was cheap too, only $ 65. There is a nice hot breakfast provided in the lobby in the mornings. The service was good. The only downside is it is a motel so you hear the cars/​people in the parking lot when you are trying to sleep. Overall, this was a really nice place to crash for a great rate.

This place is awful. The rooms have a very strong chemical smell — we left after a couple hours with burning eyes and throats. The manager refused a refund.
We also found urine splattered all around the toilet. Pretty disgusting place overall.
Definitely avoid. There are lots of alternatives in the area. We ended up at a cheaper and far cleaner place across the highway.

I wish I could give no stars! I was traveling with my two year old and my sister and her small dog from Waco, TX to Kingsport, TN. We stopped here for one night after booking online at a third party site. We arrived rather late in the evening around 11:00 pm. It was the only motel in the area that was not full and accepted pets. The fridge in the room was filthy! It was full of mold and smelled to high heaven. There was black grimy crud around the bathtub edges. The shower head appeared to be loose and someone had chosen to «fix» it by stuffing a wad of toilet paper behind it. I took pictures with my smartphone and went immediately to the front desk to let the staff on duty know. The only explanation I received was «they insist on hiring those black girls to clean». He also said that the fridge was old. I was appalled! They did not offer to change my room, they did not offer any compensation, they did not offer to come clean anything! It seemed he was more interested in blaming someone rather than fixing the problems. I told him that I don’t mind old things, but I do have a problem with filthy. I would not ever stay here again. The staff persons I spoke with are the family that owns the joint so I guess they just didn’t care because they already had my money and knew that I had very little choice but to stay the night. I did also mention all of the issues to Mary Jo, another family member and apparent manager, in the morning. She also offered no compensation or real apology. I told her of the comment of her Brother form the night before and she just kind of shook her head. There was nothing done to try to make our state any better.

We were on our way to Dallas from Chicago and decided to stop for the night. We weren’t looking for anything special, just cheap and not too sketchy. When we got in our room we were delighted. Looks recently remodled and clean. For the price we paid it is a secret gem. I gave it four stars because there were issues with WiFi and the vending machines were broken. May not be the best for extended stay but really nice for a road trip.

After 2 days of driving nearly non stop I pulled in when my car started acting funny. They put me in a newly remodeled room w/​fridge and microwave. Management went above and beyond to help me get my somewhere for my car to get looked @!! Awesome people @ very nice hotel with hot breakfast and all for only $ 56!
