Longbranch Hotel, Canton

Food was good if you like bacon way to pricey for what you get and besides that who in there right mind would have a bed in the dining area such a messy place and the dogs in a cage . Thought it was too Kentucky for me but then again your talking about East Texas and Canton is fun but book ahead or you will be paying alot for staying in well keep reading I agree with the othjers BOOK EARLY.

It wasn't as horrible as some of the previous reviews; but it was tacky and the food wasn't good. Eat on the grounds, it's more fun anyway. Five of us stayed there for the Canton Days weekend and it was 975.00 for three nites. We wanted to walk to the grounds & that is what you pay for. We all laughed about the shabby decor but the bathroom was clean, the towels were fine( no room service; so remember what color your towel is). It is NOT what you will get at the Hilton. We had breakfast the first day & the girls wouldn't go back again, they said the biscuits & gravy tasted like paste. (I didn't eat them so I can't say-I had very runny scrambled eggs(not sure how you screw up eggs?-the bacon & sausage were good.) The fine dining you do is several feet from his kingsize bed, all in one open room. We were just glad he wasn't still in it! If you go not expecting a 5 star resort you'll be fine. The gal that helped do the cooking was bragging about the fried pies she would make later in the day. Just for fun I went to get several & they were burned on the bottom. I would love the opportunity to have a place like that & do it the right way, but it is what it is! I would tell anyone who stays there its all about the location & they can ask what they want because most of the motels are booked far in advance for those twelve weekends of the year. The old saying applies double: SUPPLY & DEMAND! I have stayed in Canton many times & had a pretty good idea what I was getting in to. I have stayed in nicer places, but they were all full. I started my search in February for November. Stay here for the memories & then just LAUGH! Life is all about the adventures, LIGHTEN UP & just laugh a little sooner !!!!

NEVER AGAIN will we stay at Longbranch Hotel.: Canton Texas Don't be misled by fake reviews. This was our first time to Canton. We loved it and hope to be able to come back. BUT NEVER AGAIN will we stay at Lonbranch. You don't even want to touch the old carpet, sheets or towels. It's like one of those old "dirty " motels. It looks like a place where "girls" work. Doors don't even close securely. We had someone come in our room in the middle of the night. When we reported it to the clerk at the front desk, she thought it was funny. It was excessively expensive, $125/night. There are several fairly new hotels VERY close by and the rates are less than half of that. We still had to drive to the main shops. Staying at Longbranch Hotel was the only thing we disliked about our visit to Canton's First Monday. There are good restaurants and friendly professional people working there but I will not be ever staying in a Hotel like that ever again . They promise everything on the phone .

I LIKE THE HOTEL BECAUSE THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN AND A UNIQUE COUNTRY STYLE DECOR. THERE ARE ATLEAST TWO BEDS IN EACH ROOM WITH TV, BATHROOM, AND AIR CONDITIONING. ITS QUIET AND SAFE. THE OWNER, TONY LEWIS ALWAYS HAS A WONDERFUL BUFFET COUNTRY STYLE BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING. THE RATES ARE REASONABLE AND ITS VERY SAFE PLACE TO STAY IN CANTON, TEXAS. MY DAUGHTER, KALEN LOVES THE HOTEL AND ITS UNIQUE COUNTRY STYLE. I DISLIKE LEAVING AND GOING HOME

Nov 08 went for Trade Days with several girlfriends, had a wonderful time, Long Branch met our needs. Cheap & cheezy decor but we weren't there for deco. Very accommodating. Great, we booked another stay..ALL DOWN HILL FROM THERE!!! Booked next visit Jun 09 for December trade days, had to cancel July 09. Never was there a cancellation policy, refund policy anything like this discussed when booking...in fact he "secured" our stay by charging my credit card for 7 women at $60 night. When cancelling Tony told me he had to charge a 10% cancellation fee because the credit card company charges him a percentage regardless of the activity. Agreed. Months went by no credit applied to account..of course, I've been calling him..said he would take care of it, would call me back..so on and so on. End of September 09 he charged me the exact same fee again INSTEAD OF crediting me. Called him, said it was a mistake but again due to credit card company charges..he said he would send me a cashier's check for the full amount of both charges. WELL..you quessed it NO CHECK. Few weeks later called him again he said he thought someone took care of this. I called my credit card company had to go through paper work and phones call but they finally credited my account. OH NO, IT'S NOT OVER. Then just a couple weeks ago the credit card company calls Tony is contesting their refusal of payment stating that these charges were for non refundable deposit and cancellation fees. So now I still am fighting this. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH TONY!!!!!! PLEASE, I'D HATE TO KNOW HE IS CONTINUEING TO STEAL...THERE IS NO OTHER WORD FOR IT, HE IS A THEIF AND POOR BUSINESS MANAGER WITH NO MORALS OBVIOUSLY.

My wife and I lost her uncle a few weeks ago and he lived in Canton. We live in Oklahoma City, OK and were coming down for the funereal. We came down with 2 of our boys, my wives mother and father and brother and sister in law and their 2 yr boy. As we started researching hotel options, we found that it was not going to be cheap for 6 adults and 3 young boys. After talking with the person at the front desk on the phone, which happen to be the owner, He told me he had a room for all of us, it had 4 queen beds. We save a few hundred dollars the few nights we stayed compared to staying in 3 different rooms at the chain motels. Our family had a great time together and we loved "Miss Kitties Parlor" That is what he called the room. It was very clean, lots of room and even had a microwave and mini frig. My wife, children and I ended up staying an extra night to just relax and enjoy Canton.

I called Friday morning and reserved Friday night and Saturday night for Trade Days. We get to Canton around 9:30 or so and Tony was waiting for us. I told him to charge my credit card both nights so I wouldnt have to worry about anything when I got there. So when we get there, we are greated by Tony and his two dogs. Well, he showed us the room we would be staying in which was attached to the office and we would be staying one room over from him. That was kinda creepy. I didnt really feel comfortable taking a shower. The bed was comfortable. The TV was so small I couldnt see it and the cable was below average. Maybe that wasnt his fault. When he was showing us our room his dogs were jumping all over the beds and the pillows and it would have been ok except they didnt smell very well. The next morning he cooked breakfast and it was good. So we leave our stuff in the room (he didnt give us a key to lock it) and went shopping. About 9am Tony calls and says that he didnt have the room available for the second night but he reserved us a room with the lady behind him. So that wasnt very business like. So we rushed back to the room and grabbed our stuff. He hooked us up with one of his girlfriends who had a room that she was charging $95 a night for with no TV the shower was inadequate and the beds were horrible. We were kept up all night long with the karaokee going on right outside our room. That maybe should have been disclosed before we payed the $100.00 to stay there! I loved the shopping but will NEVER stay at the Longbranch again!!!!! The other room was called Pea something..It was too long and stupid of a name to remember. "The Mountain" was run down and trashy. Reminded me of something on the Guadalupe River that had been flooded. Not a very good first impression!

Terrible place. Rooms were old, musty and very dirty. Health department should investigate and place should be closed!!!

My grandmother is n 93 and lived in Arkansas and has better accomidations and hospitality in her Hay Barn. The owner is a crook he talks a great story but cannot deliver but excuses and more lies. Double charging my credit card and not charging it back when he said "oh my mistake" and only made me fight with Visa for weeks to get my money and I am still waiting ...... My recomendations to any one wanting to stay in the Longbranch Hotel is to go to walmart by a tent and camp out and have amuch better stay. this is not the B&B to go
