Staff very nice - property was dirty, rooms were in serious need of repair and maintenance. We would only stay here again as a very last resort.

Friendly owners, and for a place to sleep it was fine. Cleanliness was pretty bad. Will not stay there again.

Never going back.

This place is in terrible shape. The bed is the worst, they had renovation tools and ladders in the hallway to the room.

To be honest we never stayed the night, there was to much hair in the bed. We aren’t complainers, but that is gross!

We stayed there Saturday night, paid for a king size bed. The room we got was 2 full size beds. The lamps in the room didn’t work. The rooms 💯 need to be updated for the price we paid. The emergency door that is in the hallway that leads to the outside was unlock the whole time. The beds were so small that two people can’t sleep in the same bed.

Gave us a room key to a room that was already occupied. Went back to the front desk to exchange for another room to find the person who checked us in left for a while and they could not help us. Later got a replacement room. We left our stuff in a room to come back and find someone came in and removed our belongings and we had to track them down. Don't plan to stay there again.

we were very disappointed with this motel reservation. When we first got there, there were several people around that were sketchy looking and our room wouldn't lock correctly. There was a schizo guy that kept waking us and then a fake fire. There was no smoke. No flames yet a fireman assaulted me trying to get me out of the room quicker than I could grab my stuff. we paid the price of a high quality motel and received an inferior room. also The room was offered as a non-smoking room yet- If you looked behind the furniture, the yellow walls showed that was not the case. I have never been so disappointed with a motel booking and truly feel that we should be reimbursed the total amount of the room. $295.68

When we arrived here there were signs all over the door that it was shut down by the city. It had been shut down for a month at that point. They accepted the reservation and took my money off my card immediately knowing that they were shut down and couldn't give us a room

Waking distance to Knoxville Raceway

This is a locally owned family run business. It is not a chain. So i knew that and had appropriate expectations when I arrived. The staff was kind and walked us to our room. The carpet was new and the bed was comfy. The water pressure was great. We stayed here to go to the races. It was great for our trip.

While the room was clean, there were cigarette burns in my bed sheets, the TV did not work correctly, the tub took 10 minutes to drain from a half inch of water. Which means the tub kept filling up while attempting to shower. The pop in the vending machine expired in 2020. The hallways smelled of cigarette smoke and something else, possibly a pipe or cigar, maybe incense. Only 1 light of the 4 in the bathroom worked. There is only a flimsy chain instead of a deadbolt on the doors. This would never stop anyone from coming in. The continental breakfast consisted of bananas, 5 grapes, dry cereal and expired milk. I felt very unsafe in this motel. I literally slept with a chair and the mini frig pushed against the door. The light at the end of the hallway was also out, right where all the hallway cameras do not pick up and at the back entrance where anyone could go in and out. No coffee makers in the rooms, no microwaves, etc. Cups with the ice bucket were just random plastic cups with no packaging on them. They were also on a dirty and stained tray. The prices were hiked up to $147 per night due to the tulip festival and the races. We met many unhappy people in the lobby.

Run down and out of date.

We would not stay here again. Owner tried to charge us way too much for an extra night. Hotel lobby breakfast area dirty (including microwave). Breakfast foods left out for days in same containers. The entire place smelled of cigarette smoke. Mold in frig in our room. Towel quality poor- we went out and bought towels. No smoke detector in room .

Unreal experience!!!

This Motel is not as pictured, the owner was rude and if we could have gotten another hotel we would of. The room was not clean and the breakfast was a banana or a apple with a cup of coffee and a small muffin. The bathtub was not clean it had hairs in it and the tile floor really needed a good cleaning. The bathroom air vent was full of grime! Since we were there we could not get a refund and there were no other rooms available in the area of the Pella Iowa Tulip Festival.

Older hotel, last updated in the late 80s/early 90s. Stayed b/c it was the only hotel available otherwise would not have paid over $100 for what was a $60 room at best. If you have other options, I would use them.

Never again!!

I had to book this motel last minute due to change of plans, but I wasn't happy at all!! I was put in a room, which the guy at the front knocked at first!! Shouldn't that be known already?! The room had no shower, just a tub, a toilet seat that was falling off, and no phone! I found the phone later when I opened the drawers and found a used pair of socks, a bag of eated beef jerky, and the unplugged phone!! Again, I only stayed because I needed a place to sleep!!
