The racist owner called the cops on me about an alleged hole in a sheet after I left. He provided no proof my dog caused it - but to CALL THE POLICE?! What a psycho.

Floor was filthy, dirt and dust piled up behind tables. Had to hold toilet handle down until complete flushed. There was so much weed being smoked outside of the room and coming in the heater vents. Not a lot of rest as there was loud talking most of the night right outside the room. We were worried as to how we could leave (we had surgery for 6:00am),without being an ousted. Luckily for us everyone cleared out just before we left. I will not stay at this establishment again.

Checked in for one night; the Indian management took my driver's license for check in and I didn't notice he failed to return it to me after check in. I didn't notice until 3 days later that I didn't have my license in my wallet. I called him back and he said it was here the whole time. He could have noticed that night or the days that followed since he had my number, but didn't. I had to drive a 5 hour round trip back to the hotel just to retrieve my license.

The staff was very nice, i honestly thought it would be bad because it was an inn and low stars and low cost. It was good we had a microwave fridge the floors was not carpeted and was clean the sheets, covers and pillows was clean the bathroom was clean felt good taking a shower and using the toilet I was soooo worried about all that plus I was bringing my 10 year old son to stay there so it had to be good we stayed 1 night just to go to 6 flags and there were other families with kids so that was nice. I will stay there again! Only thing I didn’t like was you can hear people around you outside because it was a Inn but that’s a given.(getting into there cars)

Minimal accomodation
It was a $54.00 room in Eureka, Mo. Still overpriced, but ok for me. Just needed a place to stay, so I could start early the next day. Accommodations might be off putting for some women or the fastidious. No coffee in room and the continental breakfast is very minimal. TV worked. Went to nearby pub called Kilkerkins. Don't bother going there. Food and beer overpriced, and my French dip sandwich was a workout for the jaw. Despite the name, it is not an Irish bar in the way most people think of an Irish bar.

dirty, outdated, breakfast was a joke
Understanding that its out of season, the pool appeared disgusting enough that I wouldn't consider swimming in it if it were open. The room was dirty, the sheets were not clean and there was mold in the bathroom. The hotel staff was not bad but also was not welcoming. Above all things however, the included breakfast was disgusting at best, including molding bagels.
