The hotel was clean and surprisingly quiet. I was a little unnerved as a single woman as it was not what I expected. Turned out to be quiet, safe, and clean. Very very basic.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

The property is VERY old, with a vaguely Bates Motel vibe on the outside. Our room had a fridge and a TV, both worked fine (no coffee pot or hair dryer). Although most things were old (as well as the decor), they were clean and everything worked - plenty of nice hot water with good pressure. It was a quick one-night stop on the way to view the eclipse that I booked at the last minute, so I couldn't too choosy. Nick, the Property Manager, was very friendly and competent and seemed to run the place well.

Great stay!

We had a great experience staying at Benton Inn. The room was very comfortable! The bed was plushy and comfortable. The sheets were smooth, soft, and clean. (Not starchy like so many hotels, they also smelled clean without having that hospital smell) We had a mini refrigerator, microwave, and a table with two chairs. The bathroom came stocked with a hand soap dispenser at the sink and body wash and conditioning shampoo dispensers in the shower. These smelled sooooooooo GOOD!!!! The area was quiet and safe. With plenty of parking. There was a grassy area around the Inn where we could walk our dog. Bonus for being dog friendly. The owner was SUPER NICE! He checked on us to see if we needed anything. This is a family owned place. They are working on remodeling the rooms as they get the money. You will be taken care of here. We would stay here again.

It is an old motel. With dingy rooms the water in the tub dripped all night and the mattresses are old with huge sink holes in them. I would never stay there again

Bit rundown and could use some cosmetic up keep. (Ex: there were multiple unpainted dry wall patches). Despite being dingy, it was clean and the water pressure on the shower was good. For a cheap stay, it was fine.

Where to start...we got into our room it was filthy. Tub was dirty with hair all in it. It did not look like it was even attempted to be cleaned. The floors were dirty, with a build up of grunge in all the corners and around the toilet. Walls were gross. The door to the bathroom look like it had feces splattered on it. Even the walls and the table surfaces were gross. The owner more the willingly moved us to a different room The next room was better. The walls were still gross. You could not see through the windows. The lock on the door was not workable. And the air condition did not work properly, and was filthy. The outdoors were more of the same. No ice machine, no coffee. STAY AWAY!
