Bed bugs. Stayed for 2 nights and had booked for 7 days, I did not get reimbursed for the other nights that I didn’t stay. I had to leave as I had a swollen eye due to a bed bug bite and bites over the body. I have pictures of the bed bugs in the pillow and my blanket.

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.

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Outdated, not worth the price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 Room was definitely outdated.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 liked the price and for an older property it was pretty clean. Bath fixtures and beds were clean. It smelled clean! Floor is tile, and I couldn't tell. I have three minor critiques. I ran the hot water a long time, and it didn't get hot. The stopper in sink did not work. There was no clothes rod to hang clothes other than the shower curtain rod. For a cheap property, it was not bad.

This place is horrible. I was just staying here 1 night before going hunting early am so you would think you could deal with an old outdated room if only clean. Where do I start, pulled back the bed cover and the sheets were filthy, there was mold growing in the shower and bathroom vanity. The walls looked like someone had smeared dirt, hopefully it was dirt! The smoke detector was laying on the dresser no battery and it looked like had caught on fire at some point. Then there are the electrical outlets, 3 with no covers and one near the sink. My son in law stayed in a two bedroom and it was slightly better but still smelled like smoke and wet dog in a non smoking room. Do not let the reviews fool you it has to be a friend of the owners trying to offset the poor ratings.

Staff was friendly, room was NOT

We had reserved the room for 2 days due to a wedding. We weren’t expecting much other than a place to sleep and shower. Check in was pleasant and staff was courteous and friendly. First issue was locating the room numbers. All the rooms were on ground level and outside. The room numbers are on a small plate next to the door and could not be seen while driving through the parking lot. When we opened the room, it smelled terrible, like a dirty hamper. The refrigerator was unplugged from the wall and the cord was holding the door ajar. The blanket on the bed not only had holes and stains on it, but it was so thin it would not have done much. Pulling the blanket off only revealed sheets that looked like they were rinsed in a mud puddle and hung out to dry before being put back on the bed. Pillows were as gross. The mirror had finger marks from the top to the bottom as if someone drug their fingers down it while being murdered. So needless to say, after the roaches starting coming out and the air conditioner did not work, we had to get out of there.

I will start by saying this was the nastiest motel I have ever stayed at in my life!! I don't know how they haven't been shut down due to unsafe and unclean environments. First I will tell you what me and my husband saw and went through. Do not be fooled by the pictures they have on the web. They make you think it is a nice place for you and your family.

When we got to the room the key card did not work right! If there was a fire you would not be able to get in! Then finally my husband got us in. Let me tell you this room was what horrors are made of! Before I would sit anything on the table I took our wipes and wiped off the table and the wipe was dark with grime and lord knows what.
There was hair, insects and the floor in the bathroom area soaked our feet and under the sink the cabinet was nailed shut!

The bathroom floor soaked and toilet did not flush right. The tub and shower so nasty we didn't use it. Everywhere you looked was nasty. I did not sleep all night. I am a bad diabetic and it was horrible. Owner was rude and the staff. We set up for the 100 mile yard sale and we left sunday morning because I was so sick. Lost that income. I took pictures and video!

For your health do not stay there. We will never go back there again! I also got a bite on my arm and my husband slept a few hours on the top of the covers. Thank the lord I had some bedding in our SUV. I finally had enough and let them know how nasty which they denied. Never again!!! Horrible place!

While this was convenient to where we were headed, it is not what we expected based on the other reviews. Slow check-in, first room heater didn’t work and made a terrible noise. The smoke detector in our room was covered in tinfoil and the mini frig wasn’t even plugged in. The beds were okay and thankfully clean. Wish we had just stayed in a bigger hotel and paid the higher price tag for a better experience.

I booked this room for my husband as I could not get a room at our usual place. His comments were that he was tired and slept at that dump but will never go back. He didn’t even want to take a shower there and couldn’t get the TV channels that were listed. Sad. Now we know to pass by this place. This does not appear to have any connection with the Hickory House Restaurant which is a great place to eat.
