Pleasantly surprised. No frills. But bed was super comfy. Room was impeccably clean with a large TV. It’s directly (very close) next to a truck stop. The trucks were loud. Get a room on the west side of the building if you can.

Debra

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not in ideal condition. Especially the bathroom. The overall condition of the room was not BAD but definitely could use improvement. The owner/manager was very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was satisfactory. I shortened my stay by one day to return home early, even though I could not be refunded for that.

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.

We had to switch rooms when we got there because of roaches. The second room we moved to also had roaches. Shower curtains in both rooms had mold on them. I would not recommend staying here. The staff was very helpful.
