This is a great small hotel. I read the last review and was appalled at the horrible things said about this hotel. My company has been using the Star Motor Inn for several years, and never have we been better treated and received a better value for our road construction company crews.
We have stayed over 1250 room nights here, and never has any member of our management team, nor crew, ever complained about one thing. No bugs, no major problems of anykind. The way I understand the area, everyone is having a serious problem with Meth, but none more so than Alpine Lodge. That hotel is so far out of the way and inconvenient to town, that druggies and people of suspious natures prefer it over all other hotels in the cookeville area because of no police presence.
The owner of the Star has been a great friend to our company and our staff, and has always corrected each problem in a very timely manner. It sounds to me as if the last reviewer tried to get something for nothing and failed. It is sad when companies try to prey on small businesses to reduce their operating costs, especially when someone like the Star offers the best rates and respective product in the city.
