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!

When we arrived to check in, the guy who was there, barely spoke any English & had to call someone to give us a key. I spoke to this person on the phone & he acted as if he didn’t know what hotels.com was. He finally found our reservation, but didn’t look at it and asked how many beds & everything that was in our reservation which we had already answered. We finally get our key & went to our room, it was an old sort of hotel room, it was clean. I went to take a shower & couldn’t get the cold water to come on, my husband couldn’t either. I went ahead and got in it anyway, the cold water finally came on, but there was water pouring out of the knob. It was very hard to control the temperature. I was in the shower for maybe 10 mins or so. My husband got into the shower, & there was no hot water. We had to wait for it to come back on, in the meantime we couldn’t get the cold water to shut off! I would have gone to the guy that gave me the key to the room, but if would have complained to him, really wouldn’t speak English! This was the worst motel I’ve ever been too! We left, & chose to drive on home. Never go to this motel again! Go anywhere but here! Oh they did have a refrigerator, but that wasn’t plugged in, it took more than a hour to act like it was going to get cold! 👿

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.

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.

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.

The room was pretty clean, minus all the dead bugs around the window and floor. But my bathroom was nothing like what was advertised. The shower was a literal hole in the wall with a lowered floor to prevent water 'leakage'. Online pictures showed full tub bath. But the bed was comfortable and the staff was super friendly. The electric outlets were all very loose and my cords kept falling out.

Web site said \"pet friendly\" No mention of charge of $15.95 until check in. Don't stay here unless you want to pay extra for your pets. Questioned the charge and the answer was \"we don't put that on the website\".

Outstanding customer service

This hotel did the job for an affordable stop to sleep on a family road trip. Clean enough and comfortable enough, and we'd definitely stay again for a quick stopover.

Where this place really stuck out was their customer service! My son left his earbuds in the room, and we didn't remember till 90 minutes after we left. We could not turn around, so I called the desk; they found the earbuds, and put them in the mail almost immediately! They acted like this was no big deal, and told us don't worry about paying them back, although I did send them money to pay for the shipping. I am so impressed with their efforts and highly recommend this place!

When I made the reservation I forgot to request a downstairs room. When I got to the Inn I asked the gentleman if he had a downstairs room he replied to me that he had 1 but it was smaller and has a full bed. He offered me to look at it, I said thank you for the offer it would be alright for us. When we went to the room, it was a little warm but after turning the AC on it was fine. There was no roaches or bedbugs. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean. Only thing I would recommend is that the owners maybe put a small coffee makers in the rooms. There's a microwave and small refrigerator in the rooms. The refrigerator was cold. We don't know about the microwave because we didn't use it. We will stay here again. Thank you for having us.

It is a good cheap place to stay. It looks run down and not appealing to the eye, however we had a very good night's sleep on a very comfortable bed.

We read a review of bedbugs but we did a thorough check of the mattress and room and saw no indications of any. Be aware that if you have a pet with you there is a $15.99 plus tax fee per pet. We were not aware of this fee until we checked in so it ended up costing more than expected but again, we had a very good night's sleep on a very comfortable bed so it was definitely worth it to us.

We have stayed at some really nice hotels that did not have mattresses that gave us a good nights sleep before so i won't knock this place because that alone made up for the outward appearance.

Very honest

When I got to the motel to check in the gentleman at the front desk was very honest and politely told me that a storm had hit the area about 2 hours prior and knocked out the power. The power had returned however the internet and TV in the rooms was still out and was not sure when it would return. He told me he just wanted to be straight forward with me and not just take my money which I really appreciated. He ended up helping me find a different hotel for the night (they ended up not having power still so I ended up going to a hotel 30 mins from there, but that’s no ones fault!).

They were very honest, friendly and I definitely recommend them and the hotel. It’s located in the middle of a very nice, quiet and safe town called Benton just a few minutes from Paducah. Next time I’m in the area I will definitely come back and stay.

**Beware** Benton Inn in Benton, KY **Beware**

The room was disgusting. There was stuff splattered all over the flat screen TV and the side of the dresser. There were 3 roaches that I had to kill. The room stunk of nasty trash and some other things I'd rather not mention. When I confronted the owner about the problem and asked to be refunded either full price if not half price he mocked me and looked at me as if I was dumb. They should be shut down. In the first 30 minutes of me checking in they couldn't even find the key to the room. Then the next morning I couldn't even get out of my room I was literally locked in against my will and had to use a knife to undo the door knob from the door to get out.
