I stayed this past weekend 10/11-12th. I was happy with the location and the price. I usually like to travel with my small dog and they are pet friendly and only charged $10 extra. The lock on the door to my room was my only concern. It did not want to close properly. Thank you!
We were going to a rock night with friends and needed basic accommodations. Checkin was easy and the huge room was clean and it had a jacuzzi tub. We had a great weekend and enjoyed the stay.
Management is wonderful and cares about their guests. Some old fixtures in rooms but thats just your average hotel stuff. No complaints. Amazing view of French bluffs in the sunrise.
Small town stop for a economic stay and a clean room. The manager is friendly, and the rooms are clean. That mattress was a bit saggy but I'll take it for the cleanliness. Will be back next time I'm in town.
I would give it a 5 star but they didn’t give me cups, coffee, towels, hand towels, and there was an old coffee pod in the coffee maker. The bed is super comfy, I don’t wanna get up in the morning. close to the prison where I visit my husband. I will continue to stay at this hotel. I feel safe here. It’s quiet, except a train that goes by once in a while, but it’s not that loud. I asked to stay in room 24 again and the honored that for me. I arrived at midnight and I pushed the button on the door and they came straight to the door to check me in. Very nice couple. It’s not bad for the price. I wish they had a blow dryer like most hotels, but that’s ok. Lastly the shower is great. Don’t worry I’ll be back! :)
We recently were having work done on our home and couldn't step foot in our home for over ten days. I was super stressed to be displaced, but this experience wasn't bad at all. Malik is so beyond kind & wonderful. He has great customer service and truly wants you to have the best stay possible. Prices are very reasonable. Our stay was nice because we had access to a microwave, fridge, TV and large suite. The bed was comfortable so I was actually able to get some sleep. Proximity to the dollar general can get you in trouble, haha. Every time we'd go in there we found a bunch of stuff we didn't need. Clinton is about 20 minutes away so we didn't think that was bad at all. Our little dog was able to be with us; they are pet-friendly which is hard to find nowadays. If you're expecting some luxury hotel, that's not what this is. If you need a comfy place to land when you're in between places, getting repairs done on your home or just passing through, I highly recommend.
My stay here has been quite pleasant very nice hospitality the owners are respectful and helpful very welcoming and accommodating the room was clean way nicer then unexpected all in all I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and I even have a dog they were very awesome about her as well I don't really have a single complaint in gonna try asking about weekly rates when I looked online it was 275 after tax so I'm gonna try seeing if he could do any better then that cause I was planning on getting another night but I have stayed here 3 nights already and paying day for day I have 188 for 3 night when weekly it is $275 so I'm hoping there is something he can work out with me in that cause if I stay tonight too it's will be 254$ for 4 days and well then I kinda got ripped off was gonna leave 5 stars but until I see what happens whrn I go to pay another night and ask about the weekly rate well I will fix my review ton5 stars if things go well! But the rooms are clean and owners have seemed nice so far!!
So, there was a bit of decrepency.. I thought we needed 2 rooms together originally.. I called a day ahead to say we only needed one... Malik was extremely helpful and when we arrived He offered us a choice of the two rooms. He showed us both and let us choose and didn't charge for the last minute cancellation.. The room we chose was clean and comfortable... The pillows were awesome! If you're used to first class, it's not the place for you... But if you want a comfortable, clean place to be extremely close to where you have to visit in the morning... Like 1 minute... It's the place for you... Just go down the street by
