Didn't like that they advertise that they have free breakfast, but all they offer is a granola bar. This is a snack not breakfast. Also, Ice machine has been broken for quite a while now. it was broken the last time I stayed which was 2 or 3 stays ago.

The place was okay and felt clean and comfortable in general. The room was tidy and included a nice TV, a Microwave and Refrigerator, an Iron with Ironing Board, and a Hair Dryer, plus WiFi access (which had issues). The bed was ample and comfortable but there were no spare blankets. The "breakfast included" was merely Hot Cereal Packets handed to you over the counter at check-in, along with Fruit Cups and Cereal Bars (which we had to retrieve on a daily basis). There were a couple of Coffee packets provided along with a Napkin, Sugar, Creamer packet, but not much else. No Tea or Cocoa. There was a separate room that had Ice and a Vending Machine for Soft Drinks. The other guest amenities in the room were limited, offering only two small packets of Shampoo/Conditioner plus a couple of small bars of Soap. There was no Lotion provided. The towels were on the small side and a bit rough but were clean. There was no toilet plunger in the bathroom. The radiator was a bit noisy but worked satisfactorily. For the price, it was adequately accommodating, but I'm not sure we would return here in the future.

Basic motel room

The room was clean, but very basic. The carpeting was wet and the tile floor in the bathroom was moist. The beds were comfortable, and the room was spacious and comfortable.

Spencer Inn and Suites was very very clean. The room for being a king size room was huge. The shower felt amazing. It was nice and quiet. Our room was on the first floor so we didn’t have to walk up stairs. The staff was super friendly too between the gal who checked us in and the guy who helped us get into our room after getting locked out. I like how it was centrally located. Would definitely stay again!!

The pictures are deceiving. In my room with two double beds, there was only floor space in front of the windows ... no small table; no comfortable chair or table chairs, just carpeting. At midnight, I had to go outside to ask the people playing corn hole in front of my room to wrap it up soon so that I could try to go to sleep without the noise from their game.
