Overall it's what you would expect from a cheap motel, except if not in the lobby or your room the hallways were extremely stuffy no moving air at all. Also the refrigerator wasn't plugged it nor did the cord reach the outlet.

The man managing the property was rude and unwelcoming and also was obviously on some kind of substance as his behavior was odd and unsettling. He was acting awkward towards my 12 year old autistic son and staring at him in a way that made me and my son very uncomfortable

When I got checked into my room, I found out the air conditioner fan wasn't working. I went back down to the front desk. They immediately found me a new room (upgraded at no extra cost). The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There is not an elevator so that's a negative but I made it. Some great antique shops that are right there.

First of all when we got there, we only wanted to stay for two nights, but you guys charge me for three and my daughter wanted to go swimming and the pool was not up and running so we had no pool and that’s one of the reason we stayed there because they had a pool They had no phones in the room so you couldn’t call the desk.

The staff treated you as if you had never stayed in a hotel before. Had to show you how to use the key… It’s an electronic key yes scan it over the electronic lock.🙄 I reserved a king bed non-smoking, the entire non-smoking floor smelled like cigarette smoke! My room was not a king bed!! It felt more like a double sized bed. My boyfriend is 6 foot six. That is why we needed a king bed. We were practically sleeping on top of each other and his feet nearlyhanging off the end of the bed! The TV was messed up. Had to call the front desk using our cell phone. The room phone would not dial down to the front desk?! The refrigerator was not plugged in, so it was not cold! We brought food in and just hoped that it would cool down quickly. Also, the hallway that smelled like cigarette smoke was also hot in temperature. I definitely overpaid for what we got especially since we didn’t get a king bed! We will not stay there again!

By FAR the worst hotel and hotel experience. I have a service animal because I have services that require an animal. The host threw papers in my face, told me to get the f*** out of there hotel and that they have nothing for me. Then told me that we have to accept their new hotel room that was double the price and charged me for my service animal which is illegal. I was shaking because I was scared of this man. He was screaming he was violent and I did not know where he was going to escalate. I paid for the hotel and paid for my service animal because of this. And then when I got the hotel room it smelled so bad I had to go to Walmart to get something to get rid of the smell. They're betting is horrible, I don't think they wash it. It was itchy and it smelled. I went and got new linen to lay in. I will be reaching out to Expedia, better Business bureau, and leaving reports on every review option I can. Not only is this not a good hotel it's a dangerous one. I was coming here to check out Missouri and see if I wanted to move here and he was the first person I experienced when I got here. If you feel like you need to stay here cuz there's no other options reach out to me and I will find you a different place. No one should have to stay here.

This is no longer the OYO. It’s American Inn as of August 1st. So I had to pay AGAIN for my stay because I booked in July. I’m waiting for OYO to refund me my payment but as of right now I’m out almost $600 on a 4 night stay. This should have been communicated to me so I could have had the time to cancel my booking and find somewhere else to stay. Obviously they haven’t told Hotels.com that this change has been made.

Screwed over

Went to the front desk and told the man I had a paid reservation with hotels.com and he would not accept it. He told me you pay here if you want to stay here. He was tired of waiting on hotels.com to pay him. Needless to say with a car load of kids at 10pm I paid him again to stay there. Please remove this hotel from the listings because he is screwing people over.

Nicest motel I've ever stayed at. Very reasonable rates. They offer breakfast. If you miss the times for the breakfast, they still have coffee, tea, juices, and cereals available. They are very clean. People who work there are very polite and accommodating. Right next to a super cheap gas station. Was 1.87/gallon while i was there. Showers super nice and clean. Bed sheets had no stains, very fresh.

We drove 20 miles out of our way because they accepted pets and didn't have a dog size limit. Their pet charge was $15 which was more reasonable than most. When we arrived they said that it was $20 and that Expedia had not kept up with the change, but their registration form still said $15. The employee marked through it and wrote in $20 as I watched. That was pretty annoying since the pet policy was the only reason that we chose the place. The walls transmitted noise from other rooms which made sleep difficult but they did include breakfast and their price was very reasonable so overall rating is OK.

Owner is a Jerk

Avoid this Hotel!! TV didn't work, door didn't lock, 1/2 of a smoke detector...bed were very old.. old hotel. I asked Orbitz for my money back and customer service called the hotel but the Owner yelled at her also... never got my money back. He said I didn't qualify for a decent room because I booked thru Orbitz! I thought going thru Orbitz that if I had an issue something could be done about it... I will never use this booking site again.

Reserved a room several weeks in advance but when I arrived, the desk clerk told me my room was not available. When I politely asked why my room was given away, the clerk became agitated almost immediately; stating, "You want me to go wake the people up and kick them out of the room?!" I replied, "That's not what I asked. I asked why you gave the room I reserved to someone else," to which, he responded by scribbling over my reservation and yelling, "I'm not gonna kick people out of their room, so you can leave. There's the door!" I was floored at this belligerent, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional behavior. I had done nothing to provoke this man. I asked a single question and he flew off the handle. After I finally got him to answer my question, he offered me the king suite. This was still the cheapest option in the area on such short notice but at that point, I had no desire to give this motel any of my money. I politely declined and stayed at the hotel across the street. Beware that if you reserve a room at this motel and do not arrive before 11 PM, they will give your room away without notice. Further, I would not expect to receive any courtesy or professionalism from the staff based on my interaction. That man obviously needs anger management and should not be in a position where he has to interact with people.
