I've stayed at this hotel several times and have never been disappointed!! It's budget and pet friendly.... They even have a little dog park for your fur babies and didn't charge extra. When I have to be in the area, I stay in Jay!

Terrible customer service. Everything is run down and the person working the front desk is rude and has the communication skills of a toddler. When you asked questions all he would do was point at signs posted around the office. I would recommend that anyone wanting to stay in the area to just drive an extra 15 miles and stay in Grove

The motel was fine for our stay. We needed a place to sleep with our small dog so she could go potty outside without needing stairs, and was an easy access to the highway to in-laws house. The room was clean, nice and cool or warm when the weather changed and very nice and quiet. Nothing special but we just needed a place to sleep at nice. the young man at reception was nice at check in and we had no problems the 2 nights we stayed there. I would say, do not allow your children to use the remote, the cable needs to be limited in the higher numbers. Not that you can use them without paying , but the channels available would not be ones I would want my grandchildren to be able to read.

The shower was ok and bed was good except for the 6” bar the stuck out below the bed that was painful when hit. I gave it a 2 because we slept ok.

This is the only hotel in the área. If you can stay in Grove, do it. I had paid for two rooms. Once I get there, I was told that I had only paid for one. After, I showed him my reservation he decided to give me the other room. The TV in our room only could display one channel. When I went to ask him for a solution, he apologized and said they were sold out and that I could maybe download the Roku app if I had a smart phone. Oh, bring your own breakfast as you will not find much food to eat. He had two gallon bottles of milk in the little fridge. One was empty, and the other one had maybe half a cup of milk. He also had some old cereal and same nasty looking cookies. It is not our first time there, but we were there for a funeral and Grove was a bit far from our family.

Upon check in, we had to wait 5-10 min for someone to come to the desk, couldnt understand what he was saying.
There was absolutely no hot water, barely got luke warm, called front desk and no one answered so we had to drive to the office, wait another 5-10 min for yet a different person to come help us. Then told we could use a community area? No thank you. I would have to drive to that area, as there was snow and we werent going to walk, then drive back to our room, wet from having showered in a different room. Not pleased with this visit

Older motel. Very basic room. Clean. Bed was comfortable but not like places that cost 3x as much. For the price and just an overnight place to lay my head, this worked okay. Had my wife been with me though, I would have gone to the next town over and paid 3-4x more for something newer. Overall though, HP worked fine for me…a 68 yr old male golfer.

I got what I expected and what I paid for. I did not expect much. It was a $50.00 Motel room. There was nothing fancy but the onsite manager did his best to make my stay good. Really nice guy who is trying his best. He allowed me to park my boat next to a plug to charge my batteries and the parking lot was well lit with security cameras. I wouldn't leave anything loose in your boat. 10 minutes from the ramps a Lake Eucha.
I highly recommend The Mexican restaurant next door. The salsa sucked (like water), ask for the good salsa (spicy).

Unclean.

Office where you check in was closed, had to call a number to get someone to front desk. The office where you check in at reeks with horrible order and smells like old wet dog or mold/mildew stench.

Our room was not even clean, hair was in bath/shower. Hair was in bed sheets and pillows, no one had cleaned that room. Dust all over furniture, walls had stains and marks all over it so did head rest of beds. Furniture on seats was torn and wore out. The table and microwave had food crumbs left on it. Plain and simple our room was not cleaned so I asked for another room, which I went to it and it was supposed to be non-smoking but had smoke smell in it and it was dirty and not clean. Finally got offered a 3rd room and it was clean and no smoke smell in it but this is so unacceptable.Sad thing is we have stayed in this motel in the past 3 years and it was great with no problems at all, do not know what has happened in the past 12-18 months but it is no where as good as it was and I will not go back, too bad, a shame, was a a very nice place to stay.

In a small town you most likely will only have these small independent motels. This one was outstanding! The manager went above and beyond to make us feel safe. (We were 2 women traveling along). The room was comfortable and very clean. The shower had good water pressure. It doesn't have a pool but there is several water activities around the town and area. Will stay again!!
