My husband, myself and our 3 teenage children (and dog) we're desperate to find a hotel after waiting too long to book a hotel along our route home from spring break in FL. All the hotels along the freeways were booked solid as we got close to Nashville and midnight. We ended up searching Clarksville around 1am. The Westgate didn't look nice but we were running out of time and it didn't look like the kind of place that would object to a dog. My husband ran in and got a room... and we were actually thankful for a moment. As we walked to our room I realized I had never been in a scarier hallway. Steel doors that have obviously been hammered on by who knows what! The covers of most of the airconditioning units were lying on the ground and the carpet had more dirt then color to it. We got to our room and the first thing that hit us was the smell, but the room....... was like nothing I have ever seen! It was like a joke! Something out of an intro seen of Law and Order! My 14 year old daughter started crying and she is not generally easily rattled. We all stood in the room for about 5 minutes taking in the scene; torn curtains, plywood bed frames, the paint on the walls behind the bed were about 20% scratched off, an electrical box just lying on the floor in front of the AC with the AC plugged into it and one corner of one of the tiny double beds was about 8 inches higher than the rest. Just freaking bazaar! I wasn't even willing to have my dog sit on the floor. Now, We've stayed at some amazing hotels but also spent many of nights on these budget hotels along freeways on road trips. There are times that the places can be a little "gross" but this was a new level. I told the manager we were leaving because of the condition of the room and he said he would not give me a refund because they have a policy that you have to let them know within 15 minutes of booking that you don't want the room to get a refund and we had been there for "about 20 minutes". I almost left because it was $85 and more important that I live through the night then get my money back. But then I got angry at the stupidity of what he had claimed was their policy. So I went back in and requested my key back so I could take some pictures of the room. We discussed it a bit while I tried to not sound hysterical and he tried to act shocked that the room might not be up to parr. I ended up getting my money refunded and we finally found a room at a Drury Inn in Paducah for same amount of money. Walking in to that plain but clean room at the Drury at 3am I felt like I was walking into the Four Seasons! So yeah, don't stay at the Westgate unless you need a place to cook your Meth in a pinch!
