Exceptionally quiet, no frills, everything is in good functional condition, and most importantly, the couple managing the place genuinely cares about making sure we were happy and had everything we needed. It is not luxury, but having driven the whole town, we found it above par for the area. I would definitely stay again. Things to note, the pool was closed for the season & coin op laundry is no longer available. There is a Subway at the local grocery store & other restaurants within 2 miles of the Inn.

The room was a very basic room, but it was large and clean. Parking was convenient to the rooms. The facility was quiet and convenient to the lake and had ample parking for people who brought their boats. There was also a boat dock directly across the road.

This property is not fit for humans to stay there. I have pictures to share if you like. On the ad it appears that the lake is right ehind the hotel, not, across the road. Trailers behind the property. Pool was empty except for green slime. Room was so dirty, walls dirty, trim dirty and damaged. Door damaged and you could see daylight around it. Bath fixtures rusty and dirty. A cherry was in the sink. Tub did not have a stopper but clogged with black hair. Light fixture in bath only had 1 bulb in it, other sockets empty and exposed. We only stayed because there were no rooms at other hotels but found one the next am. I paid for 2 nights and want my money back and these people closed. Health Dept should be notified.

Liked the rooms were clean overall, housekeeping replaced towels daily, fresh soap, and took trash out daily. Beds where made daily. Bathrooms are a little outdated as the furniture but overall is a good place to stay. Most of the time spent at the hotel was sleeping, when I wasn't sleeping we where out fishing. I would stay here again!

When we checked in I had to talk into an elderly mans phone to the manager to check in. The check in office was filthty. The room smelled of mothballs and dog poop. The towels were nasty dirty. This is definitely the worst place I have ever stayed. It was right across from the lake. I hate to give such a bad review, but this place was the worst I have ever stayed in.

Pros: Exterior was nice and updated, staff was friendly, beds were comfortable, great location, easy parking, convenient, hot water for showers Cons: Interior walls, ceilings and doors need updated and painted, a single key for door with no padlocks so wasn’t very secure, worse thing was you need a exterminator, killed 8 spiders which were possible brown recluse, 2 on floor, 1 out of my shoe, 2 on son’s bed, 1 on nightstand and 2 in the bathroom over a 3 night span, that is why not a better review

The property was beautiful. The rooms on the other hand were not what we expected for the price we paid for them. There was 1 very dim lamp and the vanity lights to see by. 1 very small light in the bathroom. The bathroom itself was very small and the tub was tiny. I wouldn’t stay there again if someone else paid for it. House keeping was not thorough at all. She swept the threshold of the door and our floor was filthy!! Not stall happy for the amount of money spent to stay there.

room was outdated, the headboard fell off the wall, only one outlet near the bed. The tile floor did not venture to go barefoot. The fixtures were old and dated, and the faucet in the bathroom, well old is the best way to describe it, did not take a shower. the property was a good location for boating, most of the property was unused and was placed in a room right next to boater that decided to set up camp with grills and a boat right in front of room. Staff was amazing and friendly

Staff was very accommodating but the room had a strong smell of maple syrup that went through all my clothes and luggage also air conditioner made way too much noise. There were only two or three rooms occupied in our building and they put us all together instead of separating us so that we didn’t have to park all together. But it was quiet except air conditioner

Homegate Inn is an older property and there is some noticeable wear and tear on the exterior. My room appears to have been updated recently with new bedding and furniture. Had a nice tv with tons of channels. Heat and air worked very well. Plenty of hot water. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nice desk and chair, tv, large fridge with freezer, coffee maker, dresser, large closet. Bath was clean and nice. Check-in was fast and easy. Owner and staff were friendly and attentive. Reelfoot Lake is directly across the street and is a beautiful area. Dining, gas, shopping is closeby, though it is a small town. This was my second stay and I will stay again, I'm sure.

We stayed in Tiptonville at the Reelfoot Lake Inn only because nothing else came up in Expedia. There are several other places we saw near the lake but this hotel was the right price, close to Ridgley, TN, very nice folks at the desk, comfortable, roomy, clean. It's not the Ritz Carlton but we liked it. Can walk to the lake. Close to town, close to restaurants. Why spend more??

Went there to view the eclipse. Inn is pretty 'bare-bones' - old furniture, small towels, minimal amenities - probably fine for most Reelfoot clientele who are there to fish or birdwatch. Fine for me also, as it was very clean and folks were friendly. Just don't expect luxury. No breakfast, by the way. Great location for Reelfoot.
