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Outdated, not worth the price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 Room was definitely outdated.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 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.

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.

Needs a lot of repairs. Go somewhere else
Cigarette hole in comforter, water bugs running around sink area spiders and bed bugs. Door did not seal let light in. Smoke detector not installed was in a draw. Our room was near laundry service water leaking into parking lot.

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.

First I could not find the room , numbers were not very clear and small. Then my key didn't work, had to go back to the office. No shower, equipment was there but missing the divot to chance from faucet to shower. Room was Sahara desert hot. The air conditioner took almost till morning to cool room. Cheap hotel, I guess you get what you pay for

I was impressed with how good the hotel was. It had a good price for the 2 nights that me and my girlfriend were there. Even though the room key kept acting up the employees were apologetic and tried their best and they were very respectful. I would definitely be returning in the near future
