I too read the negative comments about the Hurricane Inn, and the primary reason I am writing my first review is that I couldn't disagree more.
I have been staying in hotels/motels since 1966 and found the Hurricane Inn to be one of the best places I have ever stayed regardless of location and/or price. The rooms and grounds are kept very clean because unlike other places it's American owned and owner operated. The staff and management are very courteous and accommodating, and they go out of their way to please.
After working many years throughout the southeastern United States, I had not been back to this area of Tennessee in several years. Back in the day I stayed at the Stonebrook Motel west of town that is now gone because of the widening of Highway 64. I had also stayed in Hohenwald, Tennessee, but found that a bad situation there had only gotten worst in the past couple of years as far as accommodations are concerned.
As a last resort I went to the internet and researched what was available in the area, and was surprised to find that a new motel (Hurricane Inn) had recently been built in Waynesboro, Tennessee, since my last visit. I called and talked with one of the owners who also manages the motel and made reservations. It was the best move that I ever made.
We (my wife who always travels with me on business trips) ended up staying at the Hurricane Inn for over 3 years (primarily from April/May through September) because of the size of the job and time needed to complete it (encompassing an area from southwest of Nashville to the Alabama state line (at Iron City, Tennessee).
So take my advice and if you are traveling and need a place to stay in south-central Tennessee stay at the Hurricane Inn. Disregard the negative comments as people having some sort of agenda. You won't be sorry.
P.S. The B.S. about the luxury suite. Because we were on site for extended stays we were usually upgraded to this suite (unless already occupied) when the motel was full. It was always very clean, as local ladies from Collinwood, Tennessee, work there and they are very particular with their work.
The date above in the drop down box only allows for the date of my last stay.
