The only thing decent about our stay was the quick check-in because it was mainly on-line and the staff was nice enough. Other than that, the room was terrible, with fixtures misting or broken, the beds were horribly uncomfortable. I might as well have been sleeping on a futon mattress. And the shape of the building and facility itself was maybe a little better than shambles, with covered, non-functioning pool included.

No towels in our room and we had to go back down the stairs and around to the office after we carried all of our stuff up to the 2nd floor. Then the front desk person didn't believe us and said there should be towels in our room. There was not, he finally gave us towels and a few Styrofoam cups to use for water. Trash pickup on a Sunday at 5:30 in the morning. Faucet in the bathroom dripped and toilet paper holder fell off the wall. Only positive things Beds were comfortable and air conditioner worked

Pictures are deceiving

Unfortunately some of the staff here do not care at all about the guest, cleaning rooms, making sure bedding is replaced, and general upkeep of the property is just not there. If you have the option to stay elsewhere please do.

The hotel was clean. Very basic. Did have a fridge and microwave. So glad it had a fridge. Oddly the pool was closed and it was 4th of July weekend. The are doing a remodel which the old hotel needs. They have a hardwood floor not carpet. Would have been nice if it had a desk/ table and chair. Just had 2 beds and a tall cabinet that had the tv on it and the fridge and microwave in it. Again basic but clean

The young lady at the front desk is a very sweet girl. Always so kind. I do have to say that this time around the room was not very clean. Bed was poorly made. Dirt on the floor. Cable tv didn't work. But other than that I have always had great stays here.

Absolutely disguting property. Pictures listed online did not portrait this establishment. It was dirty, things were broken, and we didn't atay more than 10 minutes in our room. Bathroom was not cleaned at all and there were dirty hand towels left for us to use and zero bath towels linens were threadbare and I was hesitant in putting down my bags. Our room was at the back of the motel on the 2nd floor. When bringing our bags to our room, we saw some unmentionable items on the stairs. The lobby listed a sign that read "No refund at 15 minutes feom checking in." That alone should have acared us away. Do not stay here. Ever.

Horrible!! Do not stay here!!!

I was booked there for a one night stay with my 10 year old son. Upon arriving I was told I hadn’t chose ‘pet friendly’ and the only pet friendly room available was smoking. I accepted the room, but after entering the room I determined there was no way I was staying there with my child, the room smelled heavily of smoke, the lamps we’re hanging haphazardly off the walls, and the bathroom light cover was gone and wires were exposed. Also, the entire floor appears to have permanent residents as the walkway leading to the room was filled with work boots and grease stains from cooking by the doors to the rooms. I went to the front desk and let them know I wasn’t comfortable staying there, I was refused any money back because it was a non refundable rate, but I feel that if safety is an issue, there should be an exception. Would not recommend and would not EVER stay there!!

The property is not kept up with. The bed is old, tore and not comfortable at all! Towels are like hand towel size. Sink, bathtub and shower curtains are nasty dirty and stained. Even some towels had stains. The toilet seat didn't even match the size of the toilet so i had to put toilet paper on the edges as not to sit on the actual toilet bowl. The toilet paper holder was broken and missing. The floors had not been swept whatsoever and dead bugs everywhere. One outlet by the fridge was broken so you have to unplug the fridge to use the microwave. The fire alarms around the building were already in the down position and broken. Don’t get me started on the crackhead lady hitting on me while she sat on the steps and also danced around their dumpster later that evening. I wont be back. Not many options in Russell springs so look at a nearest county. Don't say i didn't warn you.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I needed to on this one because so many reviews are negative for this little motel! Please keep in mind that it’s a MOTEL! If you are expecting a swanky hotel, move on. This is a clean, affordable and convenient motel along the 127 yardsale route! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The area is safe and convenient. The rooms are clean, beds are comfy, and there are lots of close dining option. I have zero complaints to list!

Our shower was wet, moldy shower curtain and rusted, no drain plug.There was a huge hole in the shower wall that someone had stuck toilet paper in , the entire bathroom smelled awful and the walls were like in process of being painted and had plaster everywhere. It was disgusting. We refused to stay and left.

Worse hotel ever - horrible customer service. Checked in to rm 228 a room with 2 beds for 4 guests. Walked in to 1 towel for 4 of us and stained wash cloth. Spider crawling in the bath tub spout. 8 extra rolls of toilet paper but not enough towels for all guests. Upon asking front desk for towels we were refused towels because our friends staying in room 226 also with 4 guests got the extra towels so we couldn't get any. She said if you want towels go in the laundry rm and wash the towels and take them. Front desk was a horribly rude lady who said take the toilet paper rolls and roll yourself in it and accused us of lying about having not enough towels in the room. We even told her to come check out rm but she never bothered. Said to go call Expedia and tell them and check out since we paid a cheap low discounted rate. Wash cloth has a dirty black stain and looked like it was not washed. Toilet has a stain in it like it was not washed. Room key stopped working around 12 am and went back down to her to get the key fixed and she was rude. Asked her for a list of amenities the room should have and she said i don't know, then asked her name and she said i don't know and she walked away. Rude person with no communication skills and should be fired. Don't stay here - take your business somewhere else! There is no way these nasty rooms could pass any kind of inspection.
