Lot of potential, needs some modernization.

GFM Hotel has a lot of potential considering its age. The front desk staff is very good. Our K-bedded room was furnished with antiquey pieces, some of which were much too big for the room, making it seem crowded. HVAC control was not typical, with no in-room instructions, so we had to ask front desk how it works. Bathroom was very clean, step-over tub/shower, linens were good. Breakfast was adequate, more like a typical mid-range chain hotel, not a "boutique" hotel. The restaurant which may be under independent management, is haphazard, trying too hard to be different.

The staff was super helpful and patient and kind. The hotel is beautiful and interesting and enjoyed staying in Downtown Marion where I met the proprietress of the Downtown Re-Sale Boutique and spent a lovely couple of hours visiting with her.

Breakfast was horrible. Jimmy Dean egg sausage croissant. Was just going to eat the egg and sausage to get some protein since no warm breakfast was being served. Microwaved it. But into the sausage and something hard got stuck between my teeth. Pulled it out and it was a piece of plastic. Grossed out so didn’t eat that. Made a waffle and it had a metallic taste. I was going backpacking for the weekend and was really looking for to a nutritious breakfast to start my day. Room was ok but no outlets for electronics to plug into and AC was noisy and blanket was very thin so I was cold and didn’t get much sleep. It definitely is an old hotel. Carpet was very old looking. Thank God I remembered my sandals.
