Around 1:30 am multiple people were trying to get into the room. Felt very unsafe. My husband was there on a fishing trip and probably won’t ever stay there again due to this occurring.

The property was very run down and dirty. Everything in the room was very dusty and random hair was noted on the walls and bed quilt. The towels were tiny and felt like sandpaper. We paid in advance and almost left but it made for a very uncomfortable night. Would NOT recommend.

The office person was very nice and accommodating, the room was large with a comfortable bed, nicely decorated. More choices for breakfast. Conveniently located off the highway. The only thing I did not like was that the side entrance was not secure. It was left unlocked, not like most motel/motels that need a key card for entry. Also fairly priced.

Hard to find.

The sign was hard to find and the place did not have its own entrance. You had to enter through another business. Once you got in it was clean and comfortable but we went around at least 3 times - with GPS - before we saw the sign and figured how to get to it.

The hotel is a little run down, but the bed was suprisingly SUPER comfortable and it was very clean. If you are in Benton, I would stay here again rather than making the drive to Marion or Mt. Vernon, and the price was good.

I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt for the price but dirty room and found a roach. People constantly trying to get into our room. Ended our stay 3 days early and found somewhere else to stay. Says it’s smoke free but the entire building smells like they sprayed air freshener to mask the cigarette smell.

This place was extremely cheap. It was extremely clean. It didn’t smell like marijuana like most hotel rooms too. They were slot machine, machines, free alcohol and it was very comfortable and I enjoyed my time there. My wife and I felt safe and it was great as we went and watched our kid play Division I college football. It’s awesome to have a place that doesn’t break the bank and is comfortable and has stuff for you to do.

The property is old. Pictures on line do not properly describe the property. The beds in the double rooms are full size not queens. There was water damage in the bathroom. The property had a musty smell. You could not regulate the water temp in the shower. It would be great and then freezing cold then scalding hot without touching the water. Not the worst place I've stayed, and I've stayed in allot of places but close.

One of the worst experiences

I didn't even get to stay. I got in early, and they offered early check in for a $30 fee. I was willing to pay that, but they would not honor the amount that was quoted by your website
