Spillway Motel

This is probably the worst hotel I have ever seen. Filthy, smells horrible, moldy. Degenerates hanging around. One bar on WIFI. We couldn't even stay two minutes. Of course we couldn't get our money back. But I guess it was worth it just to leave the place.

I've stayed at this motel for the last 15 years and this will be the last time. It's has become so run down since the new owners have taken over. It really seems like an apartment complex for low rent people. Almost impossible to sleep at night because all the non English speaking people yelling , screaming and singing outside. I wouldn't care if it was before let's say 10 but it's after 11 and it's impossible to sleep w all the noise. Also there is just trash and junk everywhere outside. You have been warned. I'd rather sleep in my truck in a parking lot than stay here again.

Im from Shelbyville so I'm very familiar with the spillway hotel. I've never really had a problem with the hotel itself; you can't beat the price for the quality of the hotel i guess you could say. I've stayed in a lot worse. About a month ago; the owners wife decided that she was going to get about an inch away from my face and scream at the top of her lungs at me. This woman called me everything but my name. From a nasty "c" and beyond.. excuse my language but there's really no good description for the names she called me. All because this woman's grown adult (20) niece and I got into a heated altercation (outside of the business she runs). The hotel was BOOKED the day she did this. Fourth of July weekend. Everyone was outside grilling, playing games .. literally EVERYONE was outside. This woman was threatening me up one side and down another. While everyone there stood and watched her make a fool of herself. That same night she attacked a girl the same age as her niece and beat her up while someone held the girl down. The whole time this woman is yelling profanities and threats at me, I'm calmly asking if she wanted to know the truth of what happened. Never once did I yell back, or curse at her. I let her make herself look like a fool. Now today... my boyfriends car overheats due to a blown head gasket. When it overheats, it needs jumped to start. He parked in the back of the hotel, walked up and seen his son who is staying in a room there at the moment. We go to leave and the car is in the red overheating. This woman sticks her head out of the door, sees me and instantly loses her cool. Once again, numerous people are outside and listening to her call me names and threaten to call the cops. Mind you... this is over a personal issue with someone else (yes, someone she's related to.. but not her) that she is bringing up and making a scene over at her place of business. Highly unprofessional and extremely unnecessary. I sincerely apologize to anyone that had to listen to her act like she was a hyped up, strung out, hood teenager or even deal with her afterwards. I used to highly recommend the spillway to anyone needing a room, but now I could care less if the dam breaks. Maybe if the hotel were to get different owners and management, Itd be worth a stay.
