The people running the place were very nice. Even though the place was advertised on Hotels.com as having free breakfast, and it didn’t, we were given 15% off at a place down the road. There were a couple of things that didnt work right. The toilet seat was loose and the fridge froze things. It was tricky checking in but it was a pretty good stat.

There was nobody there to check us in, there was a phone number on the office window we had to call. They told us they were having water problems and did not have our reservation. We had to find another hotel to stay in, I would never recommend this Bates hotel!

Disliked: Staff & service

Cheap and this is why.

The room was clean, the bed made. No extras i.e. shampoo etc. No smoke detector and with the kitchen light flashing off and on it was not comfortable. When I turned on the tub water squirted out from the handle. This is an older line of rooms, 5, and we only saw one as attendents were not on site. Surrounding area is somewhat desolate, felt uneasy being the only one there.

The room was clean but there was dome confusion where the office was and why the restaurant wasn’t open on site of the motel. But the person who checked us in was very helpful but it was done remotely and thru email which was strange to us!

Nice simple no frills hotel.

Nice simple no frills hotel. Slow response to checking in, towel replacements and check in. If you need a clean non-expensive alternative to most hotels near the Ark Encounter, this fits. Hotel is for a place to sleep, shower only. No restaurants right by the hotel. Lots of restaurants within a 10 minute drive. Call Hotel a couple of hours before check in to receive a text message with door code and WiFi password. No office at the hotel location.

It was ok. Floor was wet and didn't have anything to wipe up. Room was clean but needed things updated or finished. Very old microwave and no coffee pot. AC was cold so that was good.

Ok, so I have stayed here before and I would say that it’s gone downhill a bit. When I opened the room, it smelled like old fish. Property was a bit run down and worn, but for the price, I’d give it a C+. The shower and bathtub were on point!

I wish I could give this place zero stars. There was a strange woman wandering around the parking lot who appeared to be on drugs. The code sent to me wouldn’t open the door. Finally got the right code and got in. The room had not been touched. There were towels on the floor. There was trash in the room. The icing on the cake was there was blood on the sheets. When I called the motel they wanted me to go check another room to “see if it was cleaned”. He also told me it wasn’t his fault what people did in the room and was very rude. Didn’t even refund my money for the night. I wouldn’t stay here for a thousand dollars. Stay elsewhere!!!

The owner was very friendly. There have been some recent upgrades, such as the AC unit, which was very nice. For the price, I feel like its a fair room. It was not the cleanest room I've stayed, but not the dirtiest either. As other reviews have stated, there was a lot of moisture in the room, more than outside even. I assume that was the reason for the strong mildew smell. All together, it was okay.
