We had to switch rooms when we got there because of roaches. The second room we moved to also had roaches. Shower curtains in both rooms had mold on them. I would not recommend staying here. The staff was very helpful.

We will never book a stay there again. Our room was beyond filthy. Floors not swept or mopped. A dirty towel in the bathroom. Dust everywhere. Obvious room hadn’t been cleaned in some time. TV didn’t work. Very disappointed.

Good stay, breakfast every day, clean rooms, friendly staff
The external doors into the facility were left open, one was propped open and use of the room key was needed to gain entry.

Around 1:30 am multiple people were trying to get into the room. Felt very unsafe. My husband was there on a fishing trip and probably won’t ever stay there again due to this occurring.

The hotel is a little run down, but the bed was suprisingly SUPER comfortable and it was very clean. If you are in Benton, I would stay here again rather than making the drive to Marion or Mt. Vernon, and the price was good.
