“Dirtball place.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010

person found this review helpful

It was awful. It wasn't that clean. The whole place had a greasy, recycled air feel and smell in the air. Every time we were in the building, my eyes would swell shut from allergies. Our family of three was in town for two nights, for a family reunion. The town itself is a dirty little town built up on truck stops, gas stations and cheap roadside hotels. There isn't a lot to choose from for meals.
And then the second day was worse. The breakfast that was included in the price wasn't there. I asked about it at the front desk. The middle aged woman with poor hygiene working groaned and sasid whatever was there, was all they had. I looked again with her. There was an empty plate where doughnuts were. She said the whole hotel had a dozen doughnuts to split up. There was a bunch a spilled cereal on the counter. She said there was probably more and she pulled a plastic container out with Cheerio knock-offs in it, from a cabinet. She turned and walked away as if she was done. I quickly asked about something to drink. She just pointed across the room. She said they were out of orange juice and coffee. Another container of milk was sitting out on the counter. There wasn't much in it and who knows how long it it had been sitting out. The whole situation was disgusting.
We had our day out and came back for the night, but things got even worse. We needed new towels and wash cloths as the room was only stocked for a single night. I understand that, but I had to go to the front desk to ask for more. There was a different middle aged woman with poor hygiene working. She gave out a moan about being bothered. I kept my composure though. Then she came back with a single towel. I told her there was three of us and we needed wash cloths also. She said that was all they had to give out. I asked when they would have more and her answer was whenever they wash more. I was well angered at this point. I firmly and calmly said they need to do that immediately. We weren't alone in the hotel and there was no way we were the only ones who needed these things. As I walked back to my room. I heard the woman screaching to someone else to start washing towels. I walked back a couple hours later to get them. They were being folded at the time someone I hadn't seen before. She was the only employee there who was polite.
The next morning was our checkout time. I noticed the breakfast counter was better stocked, but we got out of there as quick as we could and we ate at a family diner further up the highway. I never want to visit that hotel again. Ever.

“Very comfortable, adequate for overnight stay.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2009

Stayed in a king suite - very clean, loads of space. Had hair dryer, coffee maker and small safe - which you are charged $1.00 plus tax for it just being in the room - whether you use it or not. I don't like paying for things I don't use, so they should just add the $1.00 to the room rate and let you feel like the safe is a bonus. The shower was nice - bowed shower rod, so it made the shower feel a bit roomier.

The breakfast was very disappointing, in fact, we decided to go down the road to the Big Red Barn, where we found an excellent breakfast buffet. Would like to see an upgrade with the breakfast - they have plenty of room to step it up. Served all cold options - need some hot breakfast items - especially for cold fall mornings.

Our son had the suite next to ours and had a mini refrigerator and microwave, which ours did not. They should have some consistency to the rooms - if you want a suite, and those items make a difference, be sure to request the room that includes them.

The pool was small, no separate whirlpool area. Small room.

Very nice view of a pasture from the window and clean, fresh air with the window open.

Staff was very friendly - quick check in and check out.

“Okay Hotel but needs some improvements”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009

I tried to check in a bit early and was asked to return an hour later - I came back nearly four hours later to discover that the room had just been cleaned - it was a basic room with a queen bed - sink in the bedroom with a hair dryer, coffee maker, one phone on the desk and a safe in the closet area - cable TV with about 20 chanels - including ESPN, HBO, Daystar, Two News Channels and others - there was plenty of light and a nice window that actually opened for fresh air with a view of the cattle pasture but no odors - the room had a recliner chair, but it was broken and would not open - the bed was kind of hard and the sheets had stains and small rips in them - there was an alarm clock but I could not get it to work.

The bathroom had a tub shower combination that drained well, but the bath mat was very wet when I arrived - I chose not to use it. Water pressure and warmth were both good in the shower. The toilet paper was empty so it kind of appeared that the room was cleaned fast - the carpet was okay but could have been cleaner in my opinion. The second night my towels were replaced, but only one bath towel was left instead of two originally.

The breakfast area was very small - only three tables with four chairs each - there is room to add more tables and chairs if the furniture would be re-arranged - the food consisted of hot water and tea, coffee, toast, bagels, and donuts, orange and apple juice, and two kinds of cold cereal and milk. There was a library table that could be used for more food such as fruit and perhaps oatmeal since there was hot water. The bread was stale each morning, so I toasted it, but did not try the bagels or donuts - the milk was fresh and cold - orange juice really tasted bad to me - the coffee did not have any flavored creams. There was a snack machine with lots of choices and a drink machine too - but the restaurants are too far to walk to and there is a lot of construction on the roads too so it would be dangerous to walk without sidewalks. But as someone else said, considering how close the hotel was to the freeway, it was quiet.

The pool was extremely small and each time I thought about going in there were a bunch of older ladies in it - I later learned that they come at various times to exercise, but it certainly limits the guests from using it - there was no spa, exercise room or business center,

The front staff was very nice - polite and helpful as were the maids so no complaints there at all. I did not have any problems, but did discover that the manager was very helpful and polite.

I might stay there again if coming through Mt Vernon, but then again, I might go on the other side of the freeway and try the Comfort Inn.

“A Really Nice Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2009

The hotel was really nice. The rooms were large and clean. The girl at the desk was friendly even though I interrupted her smoke break. It is tucked back along a service road and with it being dark it took me a few minutes to figure out how to get to it. The price was reasonable and the beds were comfortable. Super 8's are a good place to stay in my opinion.
