Called hotel direct from a different city to get a reservation. Hotel clerk gave me a price and said he would hold for me. When I got there, he charged me a different price and did not say a word. I looked at my receipt right after I left the front desk and the clerk had charged me $10 more for the room than quoted over the phone. I went to tell the hotel clerk, but he wasn't to be found and there was nobody else there.

I had to go past the front desk to unload my luggage. The clerk still was nowhere to be found. I made two or three trips to my car and still no clerk at the front desk or a way to get a hold of -- like a bell or anything. I had plenty of other things to do than to wait around for a hotel clerk.

Next day, I asked the hotel clerk why I had been charged more than what he had quoted. INSTANTLY, he starts yelling at me and I was really taken back by that type of behavior. I asked him to please lower his voice which he ignored. It wasn't worth the price to stay there and hear this rude man that refused civil behavior so I told him that I needed to go and left the hotel.

Later that day, I talked to a local person about that hotel and she said to avoid that hotel if you can help it and stay at the locally-owned hotel since there are not too many choices in Beardstown.

Would NOT recommend hotel because of hotel clerk (manager? owner?) alone.
