We were in Arlington for my wife's all school reunion and Arlington Days. Earlier in the month we didn't think we had a chance of staying there because we were slow to decide whether to go or not. But they put us on a list and called us when there were some cancellations so we decided to stay there rather than Brookings.
We've stayed there several times over the years (it was a Super 8) and have always had good service. The rooms are clean, though in some of the non-smoking there is a slight odor of smoke, probably from days past.
The breakfast has the usual cereal, rolls, fruits, juices etc. The breakfast room is a little small, especially when people attending the reunion tend to stay and talk rather than making room for others that are waiting to eat.
The owner is very personable and accommodating. The west side of the motel has great views of the fields etc.
There is a restaurant, the 1481 Grill, right next door that serves inexpensive good food and spirits.

My family of 4 adults and 1 child stayed at the Arlington Inn. I asked for rooms near one another and they without hesitation gave us adjoining rooms. That was a HUGE help considering we were traveling with a 4 month old.
These hotel rooms were some of the cleanest hotel rooms I have ever seen! Obviously this locally owned hotel takes pride in it's establishment and truly wants to leave an impression with it's customers. My husband doesn't usually take off his shoes in hotel rooms, but the floor was so clean we didn't need to worry.
We didn't get a chance to eat next door at the 1481 Grille, but we heard great things about it from the hotel staff and locals.
The continental breakfast consisted of english muffins, bagels, bread, toaster waffles and great donuts! Coffee, milk and juice were also available. It would have been nice to see some fruit available, but maybe there was before I was able to get there?
The staff was very kind and helpful as well. What can you expect? It's the Midwest! I would definitely stay there again.

I stayed here for about a week with my son and my husband last year..The staff was very very kind,friendly and helpful and especially the manager Deb was sooo wonderful and made us feel at home.
The hotel is very clean and the rooms are very pleasant and spacious with a very nice view of the country.

Would recommend without hesitation.
