Disgusting! There was urine on the sheets and pubic hair. The beds were made to hide the dirty sheets. Cigarette burns on blanket. Kids had bed bug bites the next day. Don’t stay here!

The air conditioner in the room sounded like a freight train when it sounded off. Very loud. The flush mechanism on the stool seemed to be broken so the stool didn’t flush right. I couldn’t get to any shows on tv without paying for them.

This is one of those motels where you feel like you need to wear flipflops while walking on the car l carpet because it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in decades. They clearly don’t bother to maintain the rooms as there multiple things barely holding onto the walls etc. you get what you pay for and if you’re paying more that $20 then you’re overpaying. The bed was comfortable though.

Fake advertised pictures, NOT WORTH STAYING THERE!

The towels were very dingy (as if they weren't sanitized and the attendant stated that she couldn't give extra face towels because they had not done laundry). the beds had cigarette holds in the spreads, hard stains in the carpet, the iron didn't work, and the ironing board was broken. The trash was not collected; the refrigerator didn't cool. Overall, the place wasn't worth the price and not worth staying in.

Disgusting, not sure if there had ever been a cleaning done, hand marks and drips on walls and doors, clearly dirty tile, footprints of different sizes in dirt everywhere, ac didn’t cool the rooms completely, bathtub drains did not work properly. Squished bugs on walls and the mirror. Front desk guy was nice and helpful, but do not stay here.

The first room they gave us was absolutely disgusting. There was actually trash and silverware in the corner between the nightstand and wall. The bedspread was stained and so humid it was borderline saturated. The air conditioner was so scratched up it was impossible to tell what setting you were on or which ones were even available. The room itself was stifling hot despite our check in after 10 pm (apparently the AC was kept off the entire day ) The bathroom was atrocious and the back of the door looked like an animal tried to claw its way out. Even the remote to the television had no back cover on it, just exposed batteries. We spent about 15 minutes in there before we went to the desk and requested a refund or a clean room. The clerk immediately admitted he had allowed his maid and her dog to stay in that room and he would switch us to a clean room. Apparently a refund wasn't an option so we ended up moving rooms to one that was better but still borderline acceptable. Needless to say, we will not ever consider this property again.

Outdated, not worth the price

There was a refrigerator in the room but it wasn't cold. Room was definitely outdated. The best thing was the mirror outside the bathroom was very well lit. I paid $224 for 1 night, probably because of the Rock The Country show in Poplar Bluff, the reason for our stay there.

I got 2 rooms and didn't get there until 3 am then got to our rooms to find they were so filthy I didn't even feel comfortable staying there but that was the only place available. There was smoke residue running down the wall, the floors were so dirty with dead flies and the sheets has footprints on them. Everything was nasty

This place was very disappointing. The extra security for the door was missing. No hot water. I didn’t feel safe. There were a lot of people hanging around outside.

This hotel needs major remodeling! I probably wouldn’t stay there again. We traveled to watch theTotal Solar Eclipse in Dexter, MO. It was the cheapest place to stay in the area at the time. I would not recommend this place.
