Super 8 Monteagle

One of a few places to stay in the Sewanee — University of the South area, we decided to give it a try this past weekend. The inside of the rooms are better than the motel looks from the outside, as if it has been remodeled recently.
We needed an extra pillow and it took 3 requests before we finally got one — without a pillow case. We eventually got a pillow case and made do. (To be fair it was a fairly busy night). Our mattress was definitely fairly old and should be replaced. Also the low flow shower head was weaker than normal for such things.
Breakfast was adequate, with scrambled eggs and warm biscuits along with cereal and a do-​it-​yourself waffle iron.
In the courtyard is a place where an old swimming pool obviously used to be, but an effort has been made to remodel it. It remains a bit strange, however.
Not bad over all, but it would be nice if they would at least replace the mattresses.

This is a great stop along the way. I have stayed here several times in my travels it is always clean, Sue the manager is the most friendly nicest person I’ve met in a long time, she really goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. There’s a nice waffle house right next to this Super 8… I always look forward to this motel when my travels bring me this way, its a nice stop on top of Monteagle.. They also have parking for several large cars… Which makes it a really great super 8 for me…
I’ll see you down the road…

This is my 2^nd time here. The first time I knew that it was just a run down Super 8 that is inexpensive and in a decent location along my travels.
This time I noticed a few more things so far:
2 roaches I’ve killed
The soap holder in the shower fell off the wall.
My bed this time, room 113, is sagging a great deal and the pillows are very old.
One of my bathroom rags had something melted into it.
I’ll say this, the prices are low $ 59 + tax, and the girl at the desk is nice.
I will not stay here again however. I don’t do bugs.
UPDATE: After the initial review I called the office to notify them. The nice girl moved me to a nearby room. Just as I was completely moved, the room lost power! I dropped something behind the microwave and had to pull it out to retrieve my belongings — well between the microwave’s short cord and a faulty 3 way power splitter something sparked immensely and that was that.
So the nice lady helped physically move me from that dark room to another further down the row (105). She also refunded me $ 4 or $ 5. She was super nice.
Time for bed — hopefully I rest well so I can finish my 1,200 mile drive fully alert tomorrow.

I was worried about the location of the hotel. It’s right on the I and being in the middle of nowhere somewhat concerned me.
I was pleasantly surprised at the rooms. They were safe and very very clean. No stale smell and best of no stale smoke smell. m
Best part was the price. I walked in and it was cheaper than the Internet rate I could find. Stop here and enjoy the great things of Monteagle. The smokehouse has great food!

Not your expected third-​rate Super 8. It is an older property but immaculate and very comfortable. Staff were terrific. Continental breakfast is on the low end of offerings but what they do have is acceptable. Can highly recommend. The only problem is the walls. They are way too thin but there isn’t much they can do about that.

Stayed here 2 nights for the local cornbread festival.
This is a very basic motel…
That being said, the rooms were very clean, and much nicer inside, as compared to the tired outside of the building. looking well worn…
Most likely built in the 1960s, there are old fashioned stairs. so a word of caution, if stairs are a problem…
The staff is very friendly and when we had a problem with our room, we were switched in literally 3 minutes to a different room.
They have a basic laundry which we used. and a small breakfast & coffee offered.
If looking for a basic motel in this area. I would come back

Newly renovated, looks great! Very clean! In better shape than the hilton I stayed at the other night. Staff is very friendly!
