Booked for Monday-Friday and did not stay passed Wednesday night. Wednesday morning I woke up covered in bug bites and a spider bite to my arm. I went to check out and the lady working the office was very understanding. The on-call rooms at the hospital smelled and looked better than the rooms here.

Christopher,Thank you for your feedback. Although we use Orkin Pest Control to exterminate, things do happen. I see you booked one of our economy smoking rooms for your stay. I would be happy to provide one of our non smoking rooms free of charge during your next visit. Please call me directly at the hotel to arrange accommodations. My apologies.

Under staffed and bare minimum’s
The reservation was not located upon our arrival. The employee was not knowledgeable or helpful. The room was clean, but no amenities provided. I had to leave and shop for coffee, cups, soap and shampoo. Towels were thread bare and wash cloths non existent.

dirty, noisy and squeaky
Three words - dirty, noisy and squeaky. We booked our room as we pulled into town, then had dinner at fast food. When we got to the hotel, the receptionist had to turn on the computer to find the reservation. She put us in a second floor room even though I requested no stairs. The room was musty when we went in, but the bed looked clean enough to sleep in. I had to wash the counter before I would put my CPAP on it or my phone to charge. Only one trash basket in the room. We found out that the bed squeaked every time we turned over. The manager can't be held responsible, but there were young adults running and yelling in the halls until nearly 11pm, then little kids started running in the halls around 7:30 am. Breakfast was limited, but it would have been nice to have napkins! I guess I'm spoiled, because the other "good" hotels I've stayed in were much better.

Disappointing
The beds were so old you could feel the springs, they need to be replaced. Pillows were also flat, not comfortable to sleep at. There was no shampoo/body soap to wash with. I would not stay there again.

I apologize for your concerns and understand you were refunded fully for your stay. We maintain a contract with Orkin pest control and they have been out to service the room in question. Although nothing was found in the room this time, unfortunately this is something all hotels have issue with from time to time. I appreciate your feedback and let me know if I can do anything else for you.

Perfect PitStop
Very friendly staff, nice little breakfast, and good location on our roadtrip. Passed springfield a bit and got a cheaper spot that was exactly what we needed. Will stop again if we're ever this way. Perfect little roadside motel if you're looking for simple, affordable pitstop.

They gave me what they call the best room but it appears the Lord of the flies was there before me because it was fly infested. It must of been the same room another reviewer had who said the same thing about the flies. Bathtub had hair as well as one of the towels

Dear Keith, I apologize for your experience here last weekend. It appears it was a miscommunication between the maintenance staff and housekeeping and the room was not completed. I have discussed this issue with both departments and think we have a better plan to prevent this in the future. If you plan to be in our area , please contact me and provide a complimentary stay for a night.

OVERALL BAD BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE ISSUES.
ROOM WAS CLEAN. BED WAS TO SOFT & PILLOW WERE HARD AS ROCKS. THERE WERE NO CURTAINS OR DRAPES ON WINDOWS WHICH ALLOWED A LOT OF OUTSIDE LIGHT IN THE ROOM, MAKING IT HARD TO SLEEP. THE HEATER/COOLER UNIT RAN ALL THE TIME MAKING A LOT OF NOISE, AND AGAIN HARD TO SLEEP. HAD TWO (2) VERY BAD NIGHTS BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. NOT MUCH OF A BREAKFAST. GO OUT TO SOMEPLACE ELSE IF YOUR HUNGRY.
