Smith motel - Hotel in Calhoun - 1437 US-41 N, USA

A great motel with the best staff. Unbeatable rates to be less than 1/4 mile from I-75, Pilot, Wendy's, & Taco Bell. Rooms are always clean and they are pet friendly.

Need a place to stop during a solo road trip to grab a few hours of of sleep and after 2 different unsuccessful attempts at other hotels in the area (one of which I actually had a reservation with but they gave my room away) I stumbled across this little place. It was late probably midnight , but the man and woman at the front desk were very kind and welcoming. I was even lucky enough to be given a small discount. They accepted cash, which was very convenient and did not require a deposit. For under $75 a night after tax, the rooms are decent. They were clean over all my experience was a good one.

Drivers: room for 5 trucks here, right off i75. Overall good value for the price. Office personnel was very friendly. Room AC was strong, with typical amenities: bed, couch, table with 2 chairs, TV, mini fridge, microwave, chest of draws, nightstand table and lamp. The lamp has USB ports, and the power outlet was tight - no slipping. The landline didn't have a dial tone. There may be a button dialed to call out? There is a place to hang clothes with 2 hangers. No coffee maker, iron, or board. There are a few places to eat within walking distance if you're desperate. I didn't check for an ice machine or vending. I didn't stay the whole night because I was just napping between trips, but I didn't see any bugs or get bitten. The room was decently clean, and the linens and towels were bright white. I wouldn't mind coming back here if needed.

It’s ok for a quick visit and very accessible to I-75. Very good price!!!💯

The lady at the front desk kept asking me if I had a dog or a puppy or something. Got to the room upstairs and it is nasty. The walls look like someone cooked(like in a stove when it splatters, tho I’m sure that’s not what happened) and forgot to clean. There was absolutely no toilet paper. Two very small towels like I couldn’t have wrapped one around my phantom dog or kittie. The bed was like laying down on a bbq grate with a hole cause you will fall in in certain places. It was definitely “rode hard and put up wet”. I have yet to see a coke machine or snacks, the parking is very limited and I have seen 5-10 German roaches. All of this for a great fee of 70$. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone else. Unless you wanna swat bugs off your face while you sleep. Oh yeah no coffee pot and the bathtub had a huge bandaid like patch on it that looks as if it shouldn’t get wet. For 70$ I should have at least had a cup of roach coffee for the morning. The floor is so grossly sticky if you walk barefoot- prepare for grocery store feet. And there is not an extra safety lock on the door so single females beware! 70$ for a 40$ room.

No place to hang clothes. No extension cord for the microwave. Small bathroom. Not enough parking for upper level. Mattress on bed was very comfortable. (Only good thing). Trouble with getting into the room.

I'm not sure how the health department hasn't condemned this place. We were road tripping and found that everything along 75 was sold out for hours. This was the only place with a room left. Otherwise, we would have left immediately. It's not that it's dirty. It is. It's filthy n I feel disgusting having slept there. But its unsafe. The ceiling is caving in as is the floor. The outlets are falling off the wall and completely unsafe. There isn't a battery in the fire detector. The vents are hanging off the walls. Then to boot it is truly n absolutely disgusting. Like don't take off your shoes or dare showering.

They did not clean their rooms like they were supposed to. And I left some clothes behand I called up there. And they threw the clothes in the dumpster
