“Pass this one by”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010

After a beautiful trip through the Ozarks, I stayed at the Family Budget Inn in Harrison. This was a mistake. Between the sheets I found women's hair and short hair clippings on the vanity surface in the bathroom. Motel staff gave me laundred sheets but did not come and clean the room or offer another room. I wondered if the room was ever cleaned at all, although it must have been as there were unopened soaps on the shelf?

“Service trumps age in this rehabbed swimmer's delight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2010

I booked a night's stay based on the website, price, and advertised "huge pool". It's certainly fair to say that they don't make pools like that anymore. After the initial shock of seeing the place and awarding the manager, Peter, the "greatest disparity between website and reality" prize, we settled into our nicely remodeled room. Currently Indian owned and managed, we were told by the ever-cheerful Peter that this had once been a Best Western some 60 years ago. Comprised of several detached wings, we requested the most recently remodeled room, as it was clear from the facility size and rate of occupancy that most were not. No coffeepot, microwave, but a small TV and fridge (unplugged) greeted us on a 100+ degree day with the A.C. turned off. Everything worked, however, and soon the room became habitable. While the towels were far from luxurious, the pool was magnificent! The next morning, after a humble continental breakfast in the hotel office (seating for at least four) Peter opened the pool an hour early for us, and we enjoyed a refreshing swim before hitting the road again. In summary, the extreme hospitality of Peter, the manager, overcame all limitations of the place. He even offered me a 5% AAA discount (amounted to $3)!

“Price was right and no bad experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

Stayed with wife and other friends, (I think we had 5 rooms) sheets were clean, pool was nice, room was clean. Wasn't the Ritz but we had good experience. We were traveling with our small dog who slept in a crate (alway does) so allowing pets was important to us.

“Cat urine stench, Rusty pipes & Stained sheets!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2009

I cannot begin to boil down the dread in which I felt in preparing to go to sleep the one night we actually stayed in this hotel. We were booked for 4 nights & promptly packed our belongings & moved across town the next day. We forfeited one night's fee, but a small price to pay not to return to this frightful abode. I should have been clued in just by the looks of the exterior, that & the fact the manager asked us to pay all 4 nights up front (?). Our room smelled to high heaven of cat urine (they allow pets). Dark, rusty water came out of all faucets. The sheets were stained. There was no security chain on the door. There was no wi-fi as advertised - this was the least of our worries. And the next day, the manager asked us, 2 women traveling alone, to park on the opposite side of the parking lot - huh?! I realize this is a "budget" motel, but I would have been cleaner had I pitched a tent in the parking lot. Stay far, far away!
