Hotels in Carrier Mills

"Looks are deceiving. The hotel is very nice and updated so we liked our room at first. Then after being there an hour quickly wished we had stayed somewhere else. It is the loudest hotel I have ever stayed at. The walls and floors must be very thin. We could hear walking everywhere….hallway, above us, etc. If we weren’t hearing noise in the hotel we could hear all the cars on the street. We couldn’t sleep so finally called the front desk to ask if the gym was above us because of all the noise above. The front desk person was very apologetic and helpful so we appreciated that. We travel through Marion at least a couple of times a year. We will go back to the Drury."

"Old stains on bathroom and bed linens should be bleached out. No new stains, so that was good . Comforters with holes that have dead pieces of bugs were icky. No live bugs, so that was good. People were very nice. Bathroom was clean."

"Really surprised by this lovely hotel! Would definitely recommend. "

"Wonderful spot to stay for our visit to the Shawnee National Forest. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and quiet."

"Great breakfast!"

"Stayed in 209, did not very much water pressure. Other than that was fine."

"Nice place to stay, clean and well kept. Good fresh breakfast offerings, and clean tables. Busy with a large group, so check-in took longer but that was understandable. "

"Everyone we met was very kind & courteous. They all were happy to be there. Would definitely recommend the stay!"

"There was mold in the AC unit and the Shower exhaust fan did not function properly. Also in room 105 One of the beds had a noticeable indentation. Next, I had to summon the male receptionist to literally turn the TV on because it’s a two step process. First you press the Aux button and secondly, the power button. At this point I was fed up. The hotel is in a very very VERY isolated area. If you miss your turn on “Vernelli Dr” GPS will recommend that you go on a rocky dirt road BEHIND “Vernelli’s auto/Towing warehouse.” Once again very isolated and practically invisible depending on which direction you’re coming from. I was transferred to room 106 without any rebuttals. In room 106 there’s no ironing board. When I inquired about such a Female receptionist met me with “ Legally it’s not required to have an iron and ironing board in every room”. Then proceeded to give me a percentage of what’s required by the hotel. “Yes Sir!” Or “Right away Sir” is actually the correct response- Not greeting me with the technicality. I eventually followed her to a vacant open room and she retrieved the board for me. After playing hardball with me she started to treading lightly by asking me about my hat. Long story short she told me that there was an extraterrestrial reading a book if you turn the Chicago Bulls cap upside down. Interesting to say the least but that’s neither here nor there. I did not enjoy my stay to say the least and will require a full Refund ASAP!!!"
