The manager/owner Penny was a very nice guy and very attentive to our needs.  The price was good and the location was not busy. Also, a parking lot is available. The Kind sized bed was actually comfortable. Now to the bad news....
Well, unfortunately, there was a lot to not like here. And I feel bad about giving a bad review since the owner was so nice to us but I really want to be truthful here so other travelers know what to expect, especially after hours driving on the road you want to crash in a nice place. I thought this would be nice based on the reviews.  Probably the worst thing was the strong smell of old cigarette smoke permeating throughout the hotel/motel.... the hallways and rooms.... it was so strong I could feel it in my eyes.  The next thing was the very worn-out rooms, carpeting old and frayed, doors with scratches and their edges with paint worn off. The furnishings were old and antiquated and the decor was not nicely coordinated.  The breakfast in the morning was sparse and unappealing. Though it was only $60 a night I would have rather paid more for a better experience.

Bad experience with cigarette smoke permeating throughout the facility and into your rooms.

Let me start from the beginning. I live in Nashville, Tennessee. My family and I were going up to Moscow but stop in Oakland to stay in the Oakland Inn hotel. The landscape was nice. Late at night close to twelve but not exactly. Because it was my big momma 90th birthday celebration, and we celebrate it in a local center or something. Anyway, stayed in the non-smoking area room 112 and 113. The hallway was filled in cigarette smells. When we moved into our rooms. The staff was nice and we had no problem. Until the next day.

I and my brother woke up early around eight o'clock in the morning. I was on my laptop and my brother was watching television when someone knocked on our door. It was around nine or ten o'clock by then. The hotel manager or staff was at the door. They told my brother there will be no cleaning service due to short of employees. The manager or someone didn't inform our parent who was across the hall. 

No biggie I guess. Well, when we return from my grandmother birthday party. It was very late at night. Upon entering into my brother and my room. The room was heavy with smoke. I thought it was from the halls, however, when I went into the bathroom to change out my dress into my sleepwear. I had to use the toilet. The lid was closed and when I opened it. A disgusting sight appears before me. Someone used our bathroom. Immediately, I thought it was my brother.  I asked my brother did he forget to flush the toilet. Because he was the last one used the bathroom before we left. 

He said, "No." He remembered flushing the toilet. It was empty and the toilet lid open and clean. However, this was nasty and had butt smears on the inside. I couldn't believe that I didn't know why or who would do this. We hardly spoke to anybody and if we did. We were respectful. I didn't understand. My brother was in shock. Not sure if the manager was there that night, I had to flush the toilet and clean the rims.

My brother was laying down on his bed when he saw a BLU e-cigarette on the nightstand by his bed. I cursed up a storm and felt very violated. I told my parents because my mother answered the door and I told them what happen. My father went to our room immediately. Luckily done of our stuff was touch and I am happy I kept my laptop with me. Because who knows what could have happened then. 

The next morning, we were packing up our stuff to check out. While my father went to go talk to the manager. It was an ungodly hour. I wanted to go back to sleep. From the conversation my dad had. The woman was seriously deflecting. She wouldn't meet him eye to eye. She knew who it was or could be and trying to save face. I and my brother did not have the do not disturb sign. On the door it stayed within the room. First of all, why would we? They said there will be no housekeeping because of their short of staff. Yet someone came into our room and desecrate our space.

We will NOT be returning to this Inn hotel service.

Cheap but you can do WAY Better

The inn is located on a busy road to Memphis at about 1/2-3/4 hour drive from Memphis. Everything in the building points to overdue maintenance. The impression this makes is further aggravated by the pungent smell that hangs in the building. The rooms are large and the beds are adequate. At breakfast at 8 o'clock we had to conclude that everything but 1 bagel was gone. The staff is very friendly. Parking is free in front of the entrance.

Cheap, but still!

I stayed here 14-16 September 2018 and I had a great stay. It was clean, organized and friendly environment. The front desk even asked if I wanted my room cleaned or not daily which I really enjoyed because sometimes hotels invade your privacy. 
The front desk worked with my schedule when I had to change times. It was only 15 minutes from Memphis center. There was a McDonald's and gas station in walking distance. Nice area, quiet and had a clean smell.

Nice, Clean and Respectful

Not much around Hotel is clean beds ate comfortable Call hotel before booking with 3rd party might get better rate Free breakfast include Waffles, coffee, Apple juice, small donuts and muffins Staff is friendly They don't allow cooking in rooms but have a microwave and refrigerator 

Only Hotel in Oakland Tenn 

We checked in after a very long drive. When my husband and I got to the room, I began to get sick. The mold in the room smelled awfully strong. My husband try to turn the a/c on it didn't worked. I went to wash my hands the sink was out of order. The tub wasn't cleaned properly since it had black stains and the shower curtain had nasal discharges. By the time I decided it wasn't worth the price or my safety I was already having a full blown Asthma attack. In sum, my husband asked for the refund and we left as fast as we could.

The room  made me sick !

We came here for the weekend to attend a family event in a nearby town and enjoyed our stay. A great location. Restaurants and retail within walking distance. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean, great bed and bathroom. Clean.  Quiet. This adds an extra when you are away from home.

There is one other note, they have the best coffee available.
