Nothing to like. Building was run down. Our room smelled terrible. We had to go purchase Lysol and an air freshener and our own bedding and pillows because we didn't trust what was supplied. Bathroom was disgusting/dirty. We noticed toilet tissue stuffed into a hole in the floor where a plumbing pipe was removed. Lighting worked when it wanted too. You could see sunlight around and under the door. Whoever owns the motel certainly doesn't take pride in it. This motel is the only one in town.

Room was mostly clean but things barely work. Tried to use heater but it set off fire alarm, no toiletries provided. Had 2 rooms, one was roach infested. In one room water was hot enough to cause burns,other room no hot water. TV would not turn off. This place should be closed until improvements are made. I would have gotten a refund and left if I wasn't too tired to drive anymore.

Very unprofessional upon arrival. I asked where my room was and was told its around to the back. After getting into the room, I could not figure out the smell that was so bad that they had the window open before I entered the room, I had found some air freshener behind the TV, but it needed to be disinfected. I had to go get lysol, I had to clean the bathroom as well as the toilet was not even flushed and then I opened microwave and there was either food or not sure but I couldnt put my dinner in there. The room should not be available for anyone to stay, the patio outside had a black office rolling chair, I felt unsafe to stay as I was not informed of an adjoined room that the chain was not even locked, I went to the front desk and explained I could not stay there she never asked if I had a problem with the room only said nobody has ever had anyone bother them. I feel as if I should have been offered a refund as I was there for less than hour as I had a wedding to attend, and when I came I immediately returned the key around 7pm. I had to go to Waukee to stay where I felt safe. I should not have to pay for a room that nobody should be allowed to be in, nor had to pay somewhere else. Im hoping to have this resolved. If you could please contact me I would appreciate it.

Basic place to lay your head and take a shower on a budget. Hotel is pretty old (uses actual keys for the room lol) but room was clean. Would stay again.

Although the property was cheap and the staff was friendly, there were several issues during my stay. Firstly, I made a reservation in June for a room in August, and upon arrival, it seemed that they didn't actually reserve my room. They told me that I was "in luck since they had one left," I'm curious what would've happened if I showed up without being so "lucky." The room I did end up getting was dirty, with cigarette butts and bobby pins still littered along parts of the room. The bathroom had toilet paper plugged into a small hole in the floor, not sure how long that had been there. The sink also appeared very dirty. Definitely would encourage staff to be more diligent about cleaning and honoring reservations.

The room needed massive maintenance. It's were broken, cracked and peeling - like the bathtub shower surround and the bathroom door. The towels weren't clean. The beds were cheap frames, no boxspring and a stained mattress. Very uncomfortable. My mattress was sunk down where you sit on the edge, so that you rolled to that side so I had trouble sleeping. There was less than half a roll of toilet paper when we arrived, and no replacement, so we felt that we had to ration the toilet paper. The phone didn't work. The room did have a working TV and A/C.

Okay, this is a family owned, small town, hotel. It's old. But, it has the hottest water in a shower I've ever experienced, which was awesome for me to work out the soreness in my muscles. The bed was very comfortable, but only had a sheet and thin bedspread. My personal preference is a little more weight for sheets. But, overall, no bedbugs and i was left alone. I can't ask for any more than that. I'll stay there again with the basic comfort and economy.

I booked this property for my son this afternoon. It had people hanging outside that were doing drugs. Property looked like a hotel with people who are homeless and live there long term. This is not your regular motel. My son did not feel safe so he drove out of the parking lot and left. I tried calling the motel to cancel and complain but no one answered the phone. This doesn’t meet up to Expedia standards, or mine. My husband grew up in Adel/Desoto area so this was totally unexpected and unexceptible. Please fight them to return my money.
