The property was very old, and not kept up. Shears were dingy, towel had big holes. Seeking tiles were badly stained. Some of the office building’s windows were broken. Pictures on website were not of these rooms. No internet. Was given a queen bed instead of the king we booked. Went to Walmart and bought sheets and blankets as all was non-refundable and we couldn’t afford a different hotel after expenditure.

I couldn't get the door to lock when leaving. The girl showed me she could do it but laughed and walked away when I still couldn't. Had to leave 2 days early. The sheets and towels looked dirty. They don't provide hand towels. There were no glasses or cups.

Very nice Front Desk lady named Brooklyn. Check in is easy, and she goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of. Quiet and safe as well. I'd definitely stay here again. Not bad at all and it is very affordable.

Supposedly we got the best room. The carpet wasnt cleaned in months. There was stains every where, the carpet, the bed and the chairs. No wash cloth to wash up with. The lobby of the check in had food all over the floor. Had a coffe pot. No coffee cups for coffee. We stayed because i couldnt get my money back BUT I WILL NEVER STAY IN THAT DUMP OF A HOTEL AGAIN. You could almost believe that the check in person's whole family lives there. The check in lady was dressed in clothes that looked like they hadnt been washed. There was no professionalism what so ever about check in or the ladies that checked us in. They had extensions cords that had wires showing, kinda of a death trap if you ask me. I had to ask for my ID back because she still had it in the copier. The door to the room looked like it had been kicked in. It must of been the Lucille Ball room, because pictures of her were everywhere. No where near " The best room". You definitely get what you paid for. We was afraid to sleep there because of the way it felt when we walked in the room. Room #208. We walked around the room til we went to bed with our shoes on. The floor was that bad.

I booked a queen, but when I got there, my choice was a queen with mold on the walls & ceiling, or I could be "upgraded" to 2 doubles with plumbing problems (no water). I had already signed my reciept,with no refund, before my options for the 2 rooms were presented. I got the key card to the double bed room, went to Subway to grab dinner, & went back to give back the key cards. I have stayed here 3 other times in the last 2 years with no problems, but last night was not it. I went down the street to another hotel, and stayed the night.

You inspected the room before you agreed to rent after office stuff showed you the room. I wish you had just came to the office with any issues we would’ve changed your room immediately or at least looked into the issues you’re having with truly apologize about your findings. Please come to the office and we can still address the issue and take care of you immediately.

Run and Run fast. This motel is a zero if I could rate it… I checked in and staff lied to Expedia on a recorded line, that I never even checked in…But they failed to realize I had my receipt after checking in. I noticed the room schedule to be a non-smoking and it was a smoking. Not even clean and no towels. I left within two minutes and returned the key. This is not a well run hotel. Refused to provide us a refund.

It was clean with a comfortable bed.
For $45 it was ok. The room was dated, but it was clean with a comfortable bed. The toilet valve was broken, so every time we went to the bathroom we had to fill up the tank with water to get it to flush. We arrived there late at night, so we were too tired to ask for a different room by the time we noticed the toilet problem.

Go somewhere else! The decor is outdated. The beds were the smallest queens I’ve ever seen. In truth I believe they were full size but I didn’t have a measuring tape. Worst was flies and bugs everywhere in the bathroom, no toilet paper and no towels. Do not recommend!

We did not check in until around 7 pm and the room was not ready. There were no towels in the room and the carpet was soaking wet due to staff stating that they had to have it shampooed. When we left the next morning our towels were outside sitting on the air conditioner. Poor customer service. The room was not as it was displayed on their website. It was not remodeled at all. Quite disgusting.!!!

I had no towels in my room on arrival @ 3pm, the desk clerk said she would bring them to me shortly. It was a little inconvenient as I needed to shower for a dinner appointment. After I showered and "dripped dry", I left the hotel and came back @8:30pm or so, still I had no bath towels. The office was locked up most of the time during my stay. I managed to contact the front desk finally and they said they would bring me some towels. I received them shortly after, but if I had not found the clerks to remind them, I would have had no towels for the morning either.

Room was cute done in an I Love Lucy theme but fridge was not working and room wa extremely hot since the air wasn’t turned on until I paid for room. It is a very old property and outside has had nothing done to it for years, but they have tried to keep up the rooms. Needs new carpet but bathroom was spotless!

Good morning, thank you for your business and your stay at our hotel. We turn the lights and TV on before you check in to make sure when you enter the room it’s not dark and welcoming. If you prefer next time for us to leave the lights off and TV off, will be most happy to do that for you.

Property advertised outdoor pool. It was an inflatable kiddie pool on a concrete slab. We didn't stay. I knew it was non refundable, but I was charged by BOTH Expedia & Tall Corn Inn. So i paid Double for a night we didn't stay. I don't mind paying once... but twice? When i contacted both companies I was told it wasn't refundable. Absolutely no help from either company. I won't be using Expedia again either.

I liked that there was a bar/lounge on the property but found it was not even open for business as advertised. I did not like that I reserved two queen bed room and was given a room with doubles. I was given the queen beds after calling the office. The light above the vanity/ mirror did not work. Bedding looked dirty.

We apologize about the inconvenience. I wish you had come to the office at least once to let us know about the issues you’re having. My crew thoroughly check that room and there are no bedbugs and TV is a decent size but unfortunately it’s not up to your expectation. If you had just came to the office once or mentioned Any issues, we would’ve switched your room or they would’ve called the general manager to see how we can address any inconvenience you’re having. However if you ever in this area please we welcome you to come and inspect any other rooms anytime. For your inconvenience we are willing to give a discount next time. To make your day better.
