Let me start by saying that lodging options in this city are very limited. If you want more options you are going to have to drive 30 min in either direction to Joplin, MO or Bentonville, AR. Anderson is a small, but friendly town, and everything closes fairly early around 9:00pm. The hotel has extremely friendly staff and are very welcoming. I checked in about 8:30pm and there were crumbs and bread crust on the front desk counter, likely from a previous customer that had not yet been noticed. The facility does not have an elevator so you have to take the stairs to the second floor. The stairways need to be vacuumed. The rooms are not high frills, but they are clean. It is next to a gas station and literally right off the highway which makes it very convenient to fuel up and get back on the road when you're leaving. They offer a continental breakfast in the morning which has more options than most including fruit, muffins, poptarts, cliff bars, waffles, biscuits and gravy, and juice. Overall, its a great place to stay on a budget or in a crunch. The beds are comfortable and clean and the staff is kind.

The pool was a salt water pool , it was on the cold side. I had to pay extra for my guest. They acted like I was trying to have extra guest stay over night in the room. I told them up front , I had guest coming to visit. They followed my guest to see where they were going. I will not stay here again. For the price I could have stayed at a nicer hotel.

The beds in pictures looked good. But their beds had springs pushing up all over! Shower did work, after letting run.on hot forever it still sprayed luke warm. So shower was was a #1 at best. Vent in bathroom didnt work. Dirty bathroom floor, behind door was the worst. They did get tv working right on second night there. Rest floor in room was nasty as well, needed mopped!!! We left one night early. Really would not recommend this place. 👎

Upon arrival, I had to wait for someone to show up to check-in. We arrived at 8:15pm the pool was already closed, even though it said closes at 10pm. The lobby smelled like cigarettes a lot, even though I reserved a non-smoking room; everything smelled like cigarettes. The sink was not draining properly, I tried rinsing the coffee mug and water just sat in the sink. People were speaking loudly early in the morning. The breakfast was horrible. The waffle dough had a sour taste, it had gone bad. The biscuits had a bad smell and looked undercooked. Everything was not right to eat. There was no one at the front desk to speak to when we left.

Its ok, close to road

We requested a handicap room. Everything was ok except the shower, which had all the bars and seat, but was high walled on the tub and hard to get into.
