The only hotel in Mammoth Spring. Close to my family, but more expensive than hotels in neighboring cities. We've stayed here a few times. The hotel is starting to get dated and run-down in some areas. Overall a good place to stay for a night or two.

The room had a horrible musty smell that we couldn't get rid of because it was coming from the AC unit. So it was either be hot or breathe clean air. The shower walls were stained and dirty. They appeared to be short staffed but it didn't stop 2 of the employees from getting busy in the laundry room with the door open so everyone could see.

It seems the air filters in the air conditioning systems all need to be replaced or cleaned. The smell of moldy ac hit you in the face as you entered the room. The light as we entered the room didn't work --- was it the switch or the bulb??? We were supposed to have a room with one bed, not two. This limited us in our space available for luggage and movement.

Service desk help was extraordinary. The only problem we experienced was no hot water on the 2nd morning. Staff was very apolegetic and working hard to correct the problem. They could not have been more helpful.

They canceled my 2 day reservation because I didn’t arrive the first night. Then the room I stayed I. Smelt like mold, the remote didn’t work, tv shut off randomly, and the room was super small.

Breakfast

Everything was great. Except they need a bigger and better breakfast. We have stay there often and they half raise the prices to the motel and cut the breakfast in half. But I like to stay there because its real clean and comfortable and we feel safe there.

Was clean and had everything you might need. Was a bit dated for the price they charged. Thought it was a bit pricey. But for a clean, bug free place I guess it was worth it.

We stayed here while on a road trip. The room was as a little dated but the mattress and cleanliness were top notch. They dont have king sized beds at this location but overall I think it was a really good experience. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of.

When we first got there, the lady at the front desk was not welcoming. In fact, she was rude. She said she didn't have our reservation and couldn't find it and she hated 3rd party reservations and the were booked solid. I showed her my Itinerary number and after a few more negative comments, she said all ahe could give me was the handicap room. That was fine with us. Still rude as hell. The gentleman working the breakfast the next morning was so nice and attentive. He made sure everyone had exactly what they wanted.

Upon arrival a man was outside and smoking. I went inside and found nobody at the desk I went bak outside and asked smoker if he knew where desk person was. He told me he was the desk person and continued smoking. Finally he arrived inside. Towel rack broken. NO phone. No clock. No coffee maker. Large, ugly stain in carper in hallway. Eggs were terrible. No bananas. I did enjoy the hot water. For what I got, the price is too high.

Completely dissatisfied, arrived early afternoon to area to enjoy shops downtown and they were all closed by 2 pm. Area restaurants serve no adult beverages even though it is not a dry county. Room was right next to side door and stairwell that people slammed all night and stomped up the narrow stairs. Free breakfast in morning was feeble and coffee pot was empty. Location in no way matched description on Expedia website and I will likely never use Expedia again.

Many unsatisfactory issues with this stay. I had prepaid for my room on Expedia to avoid any issues. My room was double booked. I was moved to an unfinished room that smelled musty and moldy. AC only worked to increase the moldy smell in the room. Beds were very uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if the sheets were clean. The shower curtain was disgustingly dirty, and the complementary toiletries were awful. The television only had streaming that you would have to sign in to watch. I would not stay here again, I would have been better off sleeping in my car. The receptionist was nice but I felt like she had to switch my room because I booked on line. If you use any of the online booking companies be prepaird to get treated like your money is worth less when you pre book.
