Not worth the price tag

Very friendly staff, indoor and an outdoor pool. Not very clean- lacking attention to detail. Hair in tub, spilled stuff on floor, ripped couch, torn up carpet, non smart tv, TV has lines due to about to go out. Bed lumpy and dips, did not have the room we booked, moved us to another room that was not accessible. Had to use lobby bathroom for wheelchair accessibility. And so much more…

There were no vending machines on any floor so you are forced to either leave to get snacks and drinks or pay triple price to buy from the coffee shop. There was mold or dirt in the corners of the shower. The curtains don’t close so leaving only a sheer curtain to shield the room from morning light or prying eyes. Luckily there was a great view of the huge air handling units so probably no peeping toms. Towels you would expect from the dollar tree. All in all not a motel I would recommend to anyone looking for a $50 room let alone $115

Ok for the price, not clear about parking fee.

The lobby and restaurant area were very clean, inviting, and smelled nice. The room was just ok. No hair dryer, the AC never fully cooled the room down. The breakfast buffet for $15 is what other hotels offer for free. They were not clear or upfront about a parking fee charged after our stay. The customer service was very friendly and refunded us without pushback as we didn’t actually park there. The convenience of location was great, but probably wouldn’t stay again when visiting our son at Missouri State.
