Hard to find.
The sign was hard to find and the place did not have its own entrance. You had to enter through another business. Once you got in it was clean and comfortable but we went around at least 3 times - with GPS - before we saw the sign and figured how to get to it.

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.

The property is old. Pictures on line do not properly describe the property. The beds in the double rooms are full size not queens. There was water damage in the bathroom. The property had a musty smell. You could not regulate the water temp in the shower. It would be great and then freezing cold then scalding hot without touching the water. Not the worst place I've stayed, and I've stayed in allot of places but close.

One of the worst experiences
I didn't even get to stay. I got in early, and they offered early check in for a $30 fee. I was willing to pay that, but they would not honor the amount that was quoted by your website

This property is immediately next to the I-57 ramps, keep that in mind whether its a plus/minus for you. It is compact and motel style, with a big convenience being there's a big Phillips 66 walkable from the parking if you need all that awesome stuff.
Unique cool stuff that was unexpected: huge newer TV, heat lamp in the bathroom, a video gambling area in the lobby.
Great value for people doing fishing/camping/hunting or traveling solo.

Room was clean but no coffee pot and after 8:30 am the breakfast bar was empty including coffee. They were supposed to have the breakfast bar open until 9am. The water in the shower would go from hot to cold within seconds and you couldn’t even control it.

The outside appearance was worn. Landscaping overgrown. Lobby was functional and very plain. However, the room was clean and the breakfast was pretty good for the room price. Very small eating area but clean. Generally positive experience.
