What guests think

At DIAMOND INN, reviews are highly mixed: while some guests praise low prices, quiet rooms, and occasionally helpful staff, many report poor cleanliness, strong smoke odors in supposed non-smoking rooms, dated conditions, and missing amenities like breakfast and a pool.

Guests also note maintenance problems including weak floors, noisy bathroom fans, unreliable air conditioning, fluctuating shower temperatures, and TV remotes that barely work. Service experiences vary, with reports of friendly, easy check-ins contrasted by slow or difficult interactions and occasional rudeness. This is a bare-bones budget stay best suited to travelers comfortable with trade-offs.

Check in was a little difficult. The clerk had a very strong Indian accent and was hard to understand. The room smelled terrible of cigarette smoke even though the sign on the door said the room was a non smoking room. Also there was no cold water at the bathroom sink and the shower was very hard to adjust the water temperature.

As soon as I arrived, I was greeted at the door by a million roaches. There was mold EVERYWHERE. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. The fridge was nasty. Pet hair and blood all on the sheets. The floors looked like they hadn't been swept or mopped in months. There were holes all in the walls. Bugs in the bathtub and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. The mirrors were dirty. The ceiling was coming apart. No deadbolt lock on the door. Burn holes in the comforters, remote did not work the tv, etc.

The room was ver hot , took like an hour for it to cool down, the beds were dirty when we pulled the sheets up, there was also roaches inside the room and for 72 dollars only for a couple of hours we were expecting for the room to be clean and a quick place to lay our heads.

The room was filthy and we could tell it really needed work. The remote had tape to keep the batteries in, the chair was ripped with cushion showing and the bathroom was just gross. Would never stay here again

I picked this hotel because my traveling companion doesn't like carpet. I was worried about this one and cautioned her that this would probably be the least favorable of the entire two week trip. I was wrong! Least favorable didn't even come close. Walking up the steps I didn't even want to touch the handrails. The smell was horrible. When I got to our room the windows were open. I smelled horrible. I opened the door, took one step in and left. I forfeited the room charge as it was nonrefundable. These kind of properties should not even be listed on Hotels.com. It looked like a flop house!

I didnt like how the bottom of the bed frame was making noises everytime i moved other than that everything was fine and would love to recommend the channels that football games come on on the ESPN channels and the SEC network channels for when I come to stay on my next visit. Other than this everything else was completely ok.
