We have a fully potty trained pup and were placed in a room where many obvious, non potty trained animals have been in. Floor was buckling, smelled like urine and the chair had a huge stain on it. The door on the side of the building never locks, so anyone could come in at any time. Staff was very friendly though.

We have a fishing boat and keep looking for places to stay around Mark Twain lake. This place was clean, quiet and safe. The Manager was helpful. We would stay there again. Was a very good value. Do note that the breakfast has no protein, but had waffles, toast, fruit, juices, cereal.

Economical for one night.

Rates were economical and room was clean. Check-in was fast and the pet fee was low at $15 a night. The continental breakfast was less than to be desired and could use some improvement. I would consider it bare bones, but other than that for one night in a pinch the property sufficed.

We needed an inexpensive room for one night as a stop on a long trip. This hotel worked out very well for that. The cost was reasonable, the checkin process was quick, and the room was clean and comfortable. While I gave it ratings of 4 in all categories, if one of the categories had been value for the money, then it would definitely have been a 5. The only real disappointment was the free breakfast, which was rather meager but good enough for what we needed.

It is a good place to stay and it is simple place to stay. The breakfast selection is limited but doable to eat. The laundry room is clean and the hotel is quiet.

Not bad for the price.

The hotel was clean and the owners were friendly. We appreciated that they allowed pets, as we were traveling with our dog. The room was comfortable, and it was pleasantly quiet—no noise from outside. However, the toilet didn’t flush properly and the bathtub drained slowly. There’s also a spider issue that needs to be addressed; I killed three during our two-day stay, including a brown recluse—all in the bathroom. The breakfast was minimal, though the area was clean and well maintained. We've stayed at this motel several times under different ownership. While there have been some improvements, a few more wouldn’t hurt. Overall, we’ll stay again.
