“Acceptable for a night's stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

This town and this motel have seen better days. I suspect that this is an old, abandoned Holiday Inn that used to have a pool. The current owners seem to be trying to run the place on a tight budget. Travelers expecting a slick, modern looking property like the new Hampton Inns and Holiday Inn Expresses will be disappointed by the "vintage" ambiance of a 40 year old motel. The bathroom and the decor are a little tired, but the room and the Inn seem reasonably clean, and kept as nice as a stop at no place in particular, on the way to somewhere can be. Benton is the County seat, so I imagine that it relys primarily on what I-57 business it can snag, and courthouse "invitees" and their families for its livelyhood. The restaurant in the front of the Inn, Nick's Okla-Mex restaurant and bar has a unique Cancun/Mexican resort flavor to it. Breakfast was good, (served all day). No refrig/microwave in the room, but there is a coffee maker. For its location (roadside USA) I rated it very good, relatively speaking.

“Everything was okay except for the tick.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2009

The hotel accepts pets so I wasn't really surprised but, being my first tick, I was freaked out for a few minutes. I hadn't been anywhere in a while where I would've been in contact with a tick and it was in a conspicuous place so I've no doubt it latched on at the hotel while I slept. Otherwise, the woman at the desk was very friendly and helpful and the room was otherwise fine.

“Surprised”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2008
2
people found this review helpful

Can't believe I'm actually writing a review for a Days Inn. Just never thought I'd be staying at one, since most that I have seen look outdated and past their prime. On a recent trip to Nashville for the weekend we did not make a reservation for our first night because we did not know how far we would drive. As we started to approach the town where we thought we would stay, we started calling hotels while driving and soon discovered the hotels were booked in that particular town due to a trade show. Bottom line we ended up stopping sooner and we thought and our options were very limited (3 motels). The first motel was definitely ruled out from appearance, the second motel only had rooms with double beds, we wanted a queen or king, so we ended up trying the Motel 6. Got a non-smoking room with king bed at a good rate. The room was very clean and quiet. We had a good nights sleep and proceeded the next day on our way to Nashville.

  • Liked — Cleanliness and rate.
