I booked this motel because it had an 8.8 satisfaction rating. We checked in, put our things in the room and left for dinner. When we came back we were watching TV for awhile and there was something crawling on my friend. we looked closer, tore the bed apart and the bed was infested with bed bugs! I wet a bar of soap and began blotting them up on the bar of soap.I took it to the office and showed it to the desk clerk. She was grossed out. They refunded my room charges and gave us keys for a different room. After two different sets of room keys for the new room, the door would not open. By now it was midnight. We loaded our car and left the property. Luckily another local hotel had an available room we could rent. No bedbugs there. I sure hope none came home with me.

We enjoyed our stay at the Stuart Motor Lodge. The staff were efficient and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable and in very good condition. We had a very quiet evening and a great night’s sleep for a reasonable price. We would definitely stay again.

Motel is old and needs updating. It was clean. But the bed and pillows were not comfortable. Listened to semi trucks run all night.
