FairBridge Inn Express Whitley City

the FairBridge inn Express is closed down it is now a rehab so anyone wanting to go to that hotel cannot go to that hotel the staff got throughout and now it's a rehab or people on drugs so there is no hotel in Whitley but the America's Best value inn hotel it is the old parkland hotel on highway 27 before you get to Whitley City it has been newly remodeled and the owners are very nice and they are updating everything in the room very very nice I'd advise you to go to that hotel when you visit Whitley City

Found the security guard nodding out with a needle in his arm in the back. Older looking guy. Rooms smell like smoke, roaches, remote of sticky and yellow stains on the sheets…and this is suppose to be the better hotel in Whitley City. Go to the next town. This place is dangerous. Especially when security has a needle in their arm.

Dirty / Nasty . Wow I wish I had seen this review before I booked my room. I just want to start by saying I travel 6 to 7 months out of the year. I look for inexpensive rooms because we are staying for work. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST HOTEL EVER! I have never complained before so Im dead serious on this hotel. I had the same experiance as some of the other guest I just read about. 1. Blood on the sheets 2. No wash clothes, 1 towel. 3. No remotes 4. Smelly rooms 5. Kids hanging out side our room drinking beer asking us to buy them more ( we didnt) 6. No micro wave or fridge in rooms, when brought to the attention of the front desk we had to look in 5 rooms, non had both so they told me to go ahead AND CARRY them from the rooms into ours. Once I did this I looked in the microwave and it was so filthy I wouldnt use it. 7. Broken Floor tiles in room 8. Vinly in bathroom all cracked and broken holding Im sure a ton of bacteria. 9. No soap, shampoo, tissues 10, Walls were completely filthy . We had originaly checked in for 2 rooms 2 nights. After seeing the rooms I asked for a refund and wanted to leave. They would only let me out of the second night.

It was a nice stay. The decor is stuck in 1995 with the wallpaper, and room amenities, but it was clean. Maybe in 2040 they will add some EV charging stations.

We LOVE our rooms- they’re huge and we appreciate the microwave and fridge. Very pretty too. If we were staying more than one night we would be disappointed that the pool isn’t available. We should never see a pool advertised if it’s not truly in use. But I noticed we are only an hour and a half away from Neyland Stadium and since one of my children loves 20 minutes from here, we will most likely return. Good location and great price! The front desk clerk had been very very kind and and helpful as well.

Like many small towns in rural Kentucky, affordable housing options are few and far between. This hotel also rents rooms by the week and I was told that several of their employees live at the hotel. That said, on a Saturday night there were few "customers" and I saw mostly "live-ins" -- many of whom looked like they had fallen, or came, from hard times. The hotel is older, but my room was clean and the poeple were friendly. I don't want to leave a bad review -- the hotel is meeting a need that exists. (On another note, the pool was not operational and looked like it had not been for quite some time.) Best wishes to all.

Quick check in, near local sites

The pool was closed (drained) even though it advertised as being open from Memorial Day-Labor Day. There was not any type of breakfast-was told since COVID the discontinued breakfast. Little hot water for showers- shower head was not working properly to start with- just a small trickle. The man at the front desk tried to fix it, but it did not help. Towels were stained. Blankets had cigarette burns in them even though it is a non smoking hotel. Rooms are very dated. Pillows are very worn and flat.

The place needs updating and could use some overhead lighting, exhaust fans in the bathroom and a comfier bed but overall, nice stay for the area. Very nice folks and it was clean and maintained.

People was friendly, room did need some tlc as it appeared their was a leak at some point or sprinkler system went off at some point. Also had baby roaches in bathroom. But not a horrible experience that I wouldn't recommend or stay again

Many homeless, druggies hanging around outside. Run down place.

The motel is run well by a great cast of characters that are pleasant and helpful. But it is Whitley City KY, so don't expect too much

room was dirty, door about to fall off, furnitures need to be replaced, room was not clean and replenished.

Clean, quiet, family-friendly, comfortable, good temperature control - if you need anything, just ask.

The property is undermaintained, doors falling off the hinges, not vending service or any food available at all. No towels, and very poor service. We will never stall at this place again

Was good for the night

Excellent service great attention to our needs. Quiet rooms.

This is a decent place to stay. Rooms are clean. Staff is friendly but not real professional. You have to go to the front desk for ice.

No internet or t. v.

Cute little town. Staff was friendly. We will be back.
