Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was disgusting. Bugs, loose wires, rusty open breaker box, paint chipped everywhere, stains, bad smell, hot air coming from the AC, smoke detector hanging, and was put in a smoking room which I did not request. When we asked to move rooms after seeing the state of it, the owner was extremely rude and immediately resorted to being disrespectful/yelling, and refused to move us until we asked about 5 times. Immediately gave excuses to how it was “our fault” and accused us of messing up the room, it was ridiculous and unacceptable. The area was unsafe and I was scared to even stay there. Bad vibes, rude and belligerent staff, and disgusting/unsafe rooms. Do not stay!

Hotel needs help

No kleenex, no hair dryer, limited soap. Old coffee that i watched them warm up and had to ask manager to make new coffee. Packaged cinnamon rolls were old. Milk and orange juice were public use jugs that kids spilled everywhere. No bread to make toast. Cereal was nearly gone and only choices were fruit loops and corn flakes. My husband had to ring the bell and wake the manager up at 8:10am when the sign said breakfast started at 7am and ended at 10am.

It was alright overall. Place is outdated but okay. Quietness was here and there. There were people seemingly doing shady deals outside. Some folks were saying they get vouchers to stay at this place once they’ve been released from drug rehabilitation centers…. Just be cautious, it’s good for short rests or a pit stop for a night.

HORRIBLE!!!

It was bad. There was roaches, hairs in the sink and all on the bed, fresh stains, the bathroom smelled like pee. The sheets were definitely not changed out. DO NOT recommend this place at all. Very out dated too.

We actually went to another hotel and didn’t stay there. The coffee pot had old coffee grounds in it and it was gross. It didnt smell good. There was dead cockroaches in the parking lot. We had already paid for two nights and we’re only there for half an hour. Asked for a refund but was told no since we booked online. Was worth the loss and spending more money to stay somewhere else.

Filthy, broken, and noisy.

Property is delipidated and at first sight appeared abandoned. Upon entering the room was hit with a musky funk, and an unfinished sheetrock repair on the opposite wall. The floor was vinyl planking and had an edge sticking up on the wife side of the bed, which she stubbed her toe on a couple times. There was a broken towel rack in the bathroom. We sat at the table to eat and the chairs were stained, dirty, and wobblily. The wife was complaining, but we were only there to see the eclipse and one night only, so I asked her to suck it up. The air conditioner fan wouldn't stay running and made a loud metalic thunk noise every now and then. The next morning I discovered the sheets on the bed were dirty on the side I slept on. I know it wasn't me, as I wore pajamas. I hid that from my wife as she was already made about stubbing her toe. We were only there for a night of sleep and a shower, I kept telling her. We went to town for breakfast and came back to the room to shower. I stripped and turned on the hot water only to discover we didn't have hot water. I had to dress and go to the check in desk to complain. The owner (I'm guessing) said he'd come check it out. I had to tell him to give me another room to shower in or give me my money back. I also told him about the dirty room, AC, and flooring, but he acted like I was crazy. The room he gave me the key to go shower in was across the parking lot. The office was closed when we went to return keys and check out.

This motel provided a nice retro feel of previous generations motor court-type experiences.. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious with access to a small balcony. Coffee maker, mini-fridge, and microwave all functioned properly. There were extra chairs and a small table for in-room dining. The bed and bath linens were clean and the shower delivered plenty of hot water with adequate pressure for bathing. The staff was friendly and assistive. Our room offered a table-top ironing board and we obtained a fully operable iron from the office. Complimentary, limited cold breakfast options were offered in the office from 7-10 am, but we did not eat breakfast at the motel, so can not evaluate the quality. We will stay at this motel again when in the Harrison, AR, area in the future. Thank you!

The pool appears to be covered for the season. Note: Entrance can be hard to find at night, sign doesn't seem to match where entrance is, so we had to go down the road and approach it from the south to actually find it - even then, just "guessed" where to turn in. Room is ok, Expedia reserved "queen" room; it's actually a King bed... Room fits our needs, with outside entrance on ground level (good for handicapped).
