Reviews for Western Inn South

Review 1：The bathroom fan didn't work and the shower/tub wasn't the best quality. It wasn't bad enough that I won't go again!

Review 2：Friendly, informative staff. Quiet property. Plenty of extra space in our room. Great room for the money.

Review 3：The breakfast could be better, they only had the basics- bread, waffles, cereal, coffee.

Review 4：Location was perfect, room was huge, better than expected, and clean. Was traveling with two cats and the place was perfect for them (they had space to roam and run). Staff was super nice, I believe it is family run. I didn't use it, but I saw they had an indoor pool.

Review 5：Dirty room, towels were thin and rough. No tissues,old TV and bars of soap were the smallest I have ever seen. Advertised a hot breakfast and I wouldn't even call it a continental breakfast.

Review 6：Basically nothing.

Review 7：The mattress was terrible, breakfast you might as not have one ,one coffee pot???? That was empty ever time I went to get a cup also the reason I booked it was it sad it had a hot tub well it wasn't in use !! Really should of offered a discount will not stay again

Review 8：Old, thin towels, almost non existent soap. Several spiders and crickets. Smelled of old smoke

Review 9：Cheap, cheap!! Included microwave and refrig for very low price. Staff was pleasant & accommodating. Free bfsk and wifi

Review 10：Lighting in rooms was bad. Either had to have microwave, or floor lamp plugged in. Breakfast was horrible. No butter, just coffee or milk, choice between corn flakes or frosted flakes. Pool is not heated. Wifi was iffy. Beds and pillows uncomfortable. Towels looked unclean and not big enough. Only small bars of soap and one night we noticed they took our soap and did not replace with new bars. Would not recommend to stay here, and we will never stay again.

Review 11：The room itself was dirty. There was a huge spider on the wall as we first walked in the room. When I pulled the covers on the bed back I noticed the sheets were dirty and full of hair. The bathroom was dirty and brown stains in the toilet, bathtub, and sink.

Review 12：All they gave us was a bed, soap & 2 towels. No shampoo, no conditioner, no kleenex. Flies in room, many more outside because of overflowing garbage. Watered-down coffee, watered-down waffle mix, only 2 forks. Pool was open for 5 hours a day.

Review 13：Nothing! We were on a 5 1/2 week road trip & this was the WORST hotel by far. We stayed in hotels for 1/2 the price which were much better!

Review 14：Our lamp shades had the lining falling out & made us a bit nervous no sliding chain lock on the door facing the outside. I think they need to invest a bit in some furnishings.

Review 15：Friendly staff & clean. OK for the price.

Review 16：The 2 light bulbs in the heat lamp were removed and a florescent was in its place leaving 1 socket exposed. The switch to operate the heat lamp was removed leaving it inoperable. The room smelled of smoke, but was a non smoking room. For 1 night the stay was tolerable.

Review 17：Price and location were good

Review 18：we asked for a non-smoking room, the room smelled horrible. Breakfast was pretty much nothing (we had to get our own). Towels were all stained.

Review 19：Nothing

Review 20：We live in Wisconsin and the front desk attendant, Sam, helped us to recover our expensive memory pillows we left behind. He went above & beyond what he needed to in order to assist us!

Review 21：When we got there 3 light bulbs missing room very dark. Staff replaced quickly. Pool opened 10 a.m. to late to use if checking out one of bathroom wash cloths so stained looked dingy and dirty.

Review 22：Close to highway

Review 23：There were holes in the carpet. Breakfast was only waffles, toast, and corn flakes. Sink was horrible looking. No a.c. in the halls. Limited pool and breakfast hours. Beds felt like ply wood.

Review 24：Great location to go to the big Apple.

Review 25：Grounds need lots of care, weeds all over, had to ask for hairdryer, breakfast severely lacking, coffee weak......

Review 26：Close to freeway and parking was good.

Review 27：Our room was gross! There was 3 dead bugs on bathroom floor. Saggy beds and was pillow case was stained, looked like blood 3 big places and turned to back so maybe we wouldn't see. Carpet in hall needed vacuumed. Hubby had bug crawling on him. Spend more go somewhere else.

Review 28：Was cheap

Review 29：The room first off had 7 chairs facing the 2 bed. This is where Nebraska makes their adult films. There were bugs in the bathroom, hair in the bed, and small dirty towels. I would leave a hotel like this anywhere else but Nebraska doesn't have a whole lot of inexpensive options day of. But being that my friend and I drove 8hrs in one day and it was 2 am we decided to stay, we had a mattress topper in the car, with our own sheets so we brought that in and slept on top of the beds. I ft like bugs were crawling all over me all the time but it's near 3am and I don't want to sleep.

Review 30：That we could check in at 2am

Review 31：Hot tub wasn't working. Too much chlorine in the pool. Only toast and weak coffee available for breakfast. Bed was soft and we rolled to the middle and ended up with stiff backs the next day.

Review 32：The hotel was very clean. Affordable. Location was close to our destination. We liked the exterior entrance as well as the interior access to adjoining rooms and the pool. All on ground level. Minor changes would make it a great place to stay.

Review 33：The property has an indoor pool, that lingers a musty smell throughout. There were small flying bugs in my room, toiletries offered 1 small wafer of soap. Overall not a good experience. I would not stay here again at any price.

Review 34：The air conditioning didn't work - I had to move rooms The clocks were unplugged in both rooms The bed wasn't comfortable The pillows were comfortable There was no shampoo The towels were thin

Review 35：The price was only $57

Review 36：Couldn't understand the man behind the front desk. Credit card machine not working had to pay with cash. Beds Very uncomfortable! Horrible experience. Wouldn't recamend!

Review 37：The guest stayed out all night in and out partying and smoking talking loud, having arguments. I would get woke up from my sleep like every 20 minutes with loud voices from the other rooms or outside. the room had holes in the wall and paint covering the holes that were completely different in color. the bathroom had mold on the wall, the toilet seat was not clean, the floor wasn't vacuumed, the cups smelled. the furniture was dated and the bed was springy. The hotel doors had a locking system that if you left your room you had to keep your door unlocked or else you would be locked out and have to walk around to the other side of the building to let yourself in through a different door. The pool area was out of date the hot tub was not in working order the signage was dated and not pertaining to current area. The pool was uninviting and had a rope which divided the pool and limited swimming. The hours of the pool were 8am to 10am and 5pm to 8pm just weird hours. The trash outside was overflowing with old broken down televisions. I could go on but I think you get the picture. I don't think this hotel should have guest until they get this place in tip top condition. This was truly a nightmare for me.

Review 38：I couldn't find anything to like about this place.

Review 39：The place reeked of smoke. Breakfast was awful, and really 4 hours for pool only a day. Very limited towels.3 people for room 2 towels. Smelled musty. Needs repair. With addition of 10 dollars per kid,I could have stayed at a better hotel with increase in cost!!

Review 40：Location.Staff appeared nice. Walls solid, could not hear anything next door.

Review 41：Thingsin room were a little shop worn. Bath area, tub and toilet needed maintenance and update. Grounds needed a clean up. Should pressure wash sidewalk and sweep up cigarette butts Which were all over and this was a non smoking room.

Review 42：Microwave and fridge in room. Truck parking. Coffee in the room. Old style drive up motel. Room had outside entry as well as a door to a central hallway. No need to go outside in bad weather. Quiet location.

Review 43：Found a pocketknife & a dirty baby bottle on the floor. My wife spent 10 minutes cleaning the comforter & chairs so we had a clean place to sit. The place is a dive.

Review 44：They kept the pool open a few minutes after normal close time when we got back from the restaurant. We ate breakfast when we got back from viewing the cranes. Thanks!

Review 45：There was not much for breakfast,& area was dusty. Also no hair dryer. Bed was not too comfortable also pillows were bad. We had to buy pillows for 2nd night.

Review 46：The rooms were clean.

Review 47：The pool was too deep that my child could not swim and have a good time and jacuzzi was not working and looked like it hasn't been for some time. Breakfast needs more of a variety there were no fresh fruits and need more space for eating breakfast not enough room for customers to eat!! Other than that I thought the rooms were very clean and neat!!

Review 48：Motel is aged but well maintained. The Breakfast was pretty minimal, but for only $49 a night we did not expect much. Hot tub was out of order, but we did not plan on using it anyway.

Review 49：The room has 2 doors, you can park directly in front of your room but also a door into the hall way to the Lobby. 3 Wifi channels available. Very Fast! Clean and comfortable. Firm newer mattresses Newer heating/cooling unit. It was Very quiet.

Review 50：Everything was just dirty or stained. Including the walls, bathtub and bedding. I avoided taking a shower because it was dirty. The bedding appeared stained. I wouldn't have stayed here any more than the one night I did.

Review 51：There were a couple faint blood stains on the towels. A dark stain on one of the blankets. And the coffee in the breakfast room was very very watery. To the point of un-drinkability..

Review 52：Friendly staff, and two queen size beds made it nice for me and my Friend.

Review 53：Manager didn't now English hot tub was broke and pool is to be open until 10 and they closed it at 9 false advertisement was not a very friendly stay

Review 54：Location

Review 55：Worst Wi-Fi I have ever seen, microwave had wrong turntable in it, so it didn't spin. The place was old and dirty. They offered waffles for breakfast but acted like they have never heard of sugar free syrup.

Review 56：It is close to good restaurants!

Review 57：THE BREAKFAST COULD BE IMPROVED WITH JUICE, EGGS,GRAVY AND MOVE ROOM TO SIT. BR VERY SMALL,CARPET NOT TACATED DOWN IN PLACES.

Review 58：LOCATION WAS GREAT. STAFF FRIENDLY.

Review 59：The thing I didn't care for was the fact it had an outside door. The bathroom was tiny as well.

Review 60：The actual room was large and clean and it was quiet for us. The price was good as we came in late and left very early both mornings so we didn't get to use the pool or breakfast.

Review 61：The carpet was frayed between the bathroom and sleep room with sharp point that hurt our fee. Guests on Saturday night were extremely loud and the office would not answer the phone.

Review 62：The motel has been updated some since our last stay which was nice.

Review 63：Outside door didn't lock. Beds terrible. Bathroom 40 years outdated. Dirty not vacuumed. Bugs. Breakfast was terrible overpriced because event in town.

Review 64：Had to buy surge protector in order to plug in fridge and microwave otherwise couldn't plug both in. Our room was never cleaned the 4 days we stayed. Had to ask for coffee and towels. Breakfast consisted of cornflakes or frosted flakes or a waffle. No juice or toast or anything

Review 65：One of few places that have smoking rooms in this area. Heater worked good

Review 66：Couldn't shower too much mold.no continental breakfast unless a loaf of bread and a quarter gallon of milk count.Very very dirty.never again we will stay here.pay the extra cash

Review 67：Water pressure in the shower was non-existent. Small refrigerator/freezer did not work after plugging in. Parking was extremely tight. Very old box style TV with average picture.

Review 68：The price was right for a quick overnight on a driving vacation. The bed was more comfortable than expected.

Review 69：Difficult to be too confident in how well the rooms, bedding, etc are cleaned.

Review 70：Ability to drive up to room and park next to door. Convenient for transporting sleeping kids directly from car to bed, especially when traveling as a single parent.

Review 71：I like this facility for its very reasonable price and quite adequate service. It provides good service without all the bells and whistles that Most common ordinary persons do not need in order to have a comfortable nights's sleep. I'll stay again.

Review 72：The rooms reserved were non smoking. After arrival, the rooms we were given reeked of smoke and there were cigarette burns in blankets. Different rooms were provided that were not clean and didn't have fresh linen on beds. Management said housekeeping would change them in the morning. Treated rudely and refused a refund or any other accommodations. Ended up walking out. Worst hotel experience ever...

Review 73：Room was extremely dirty. Linens had bodily fluid stains. Doors didn't latch properly. A lot of people in the parking lot making a lot of noise. Bathroom had chipped paint, and vent falling out of ceiling. Also, bathroom door wouldn't latch.

Review 74：We stayed in quite a few motels this summer and I'm sorry to say this was the worst! We don't expect or need many amenities, but do expect everything to be clean!! The morning we left the offerings at breakfast were very minimal and you didn't have enough for everyone.

Review 75：We've stayed at hundreds of hotels and at every star level so weknow what to expect from each. Easily the 2nd worst hotel we've beenin ever. Bathroom not cleaned, used soap provided (rather not have atall), no tissue, had to beg to get a bath towel for each person. Ialmost lost it when I unfolded the washcloth and it looked like someonewiped their butt with it. The manager didn't seem to care norapologize when I told him upon checkout. The bed- a sponge would havebeen more supportive than the mattress. When anyone attempted to sit onthe side of the beds, they almost hit the floor as they slid off. Oh,don't get too close to the a/c because of the rubber traycatching the dripping water underneath it. And of course, the cordsubmerged in it as well. Yep, that's safe. And too many amenitiesunavailable like the pool was "closed for service". Gees,couldn't even get orange juice because the machine was broken. Notthat we were going to risk eating anything at this sad excuse for ahotel. Backside of hotel where we were was loaded with garbageeverywhere outside. My recommendation is find somewhere else to stay. Ifthere isn't availability elsewhere, sleep in your vehicle. Luckily,I did get a tetanus shot recently!

Review 76：It had a ceiling and four walls.

Review 77：Stay away! From the second we walked in the room smelled like an oldmusty sock, the kind of smell that makes your nose and throat closeup, and you start to curl your shoulders in and feel like yourimmediately claustrophobic. If the smell doesn't bother you, maybethe dust will...it hung from the ceiling like bats from a cave,clinging to it for dear life and making you fear that it will fall onyou at any second. But if the dust didn't fall on you, not toworry, the flies were sure to land on you. There were at least 5swarming the room. They were surely looking for whatever was causingthe smell.... (I'd say play it safe and pay the extra $50 for thename brand hotel up the street)

Review 78：Got charged a hidden pet fee that wasn't mentioned on website, staff was unpleasant and defiant, hotel was incredibly loud, couple in room next to us was up fighting all night and staff did nothing about it, couple continued fighting in the morning until the police were finally called. Very little sleep.

Review 79：Room was big...

Review 80：Room needs an update. Still using keys not card keys. Chose this motel because of nice pool. The pool was closed for cleaning the entire time we were at the motel and the hot tub was not working at all. Breakfast was not much to choose from. No protein all sugary cereal and a waffle. Not even any fresh fruit. Will not stay here again.

Review 81：It was very noisy starting early in the mornings. Every knock, voice and door closing, could be heard. The door closings sounded more like doors slamming.

Review 82：The room was spacious

Review 83：Deceptive, sign flashing $39.00 rate is RUSE. Only long term rentals. Free breakfast is cheap, cheap, cheap on item selection. How about real cream for coffee? Good quality coffee and bagels are not that expensive. Hot tub in pic not available. Remove pic or fix hot tub. Light bulbs missing in most lamps. Staff needs customer friendliness training. I'm paying your freight! How about a smile, make me happy to see you.

Review 84：1st generation Interstate build out when construction was more important than today's modern frills. Concrete block construction = solid sleep. New carpet on floor = clean Bed comfortable = TIP, always use bed farthest from door, less use.

Review 85：The room was dirty with food chunks on the recliner. The air conditioner must have been on a timer since it was off at 3 am and it was hot in the room. It magically turned on at 530, The fridge was not plugged in, fortunately we checked it after a short while. I have meds that required to been in the fridge.

Review 86：The pool could of been cleaner, and the room size was small. I got walked in by two Maids with in a half hour. The bead was not very comfortable. The motel is in a scary neighborhood. A person's car got broken into which made my stay uneasy and I got asked by people walking on the street out front for money and a place to stay. Need for more Security is a must.

Review 87：The full breakfast. The Bathroom had everything you needed. There was lots of places to eat around there.

Review 88：Motel under new management. Non-smoking room smelled of smoke. Problems with toilet. I assume the new management is addressing these issues so I don't feel our experience is a usual condition - they are in the process of fixing problems with the facilities.

Review 89：Staff was friendly and helpful even though there were some problems.

Review 90：pool closed for maintenance. Was informed it would be opened next morning - it wasn't. Only 2 tables in breakfast area. One door to hallway and one door to outside. Locks not good on either door.

Review 91：Bed sheets had dirt hair and blood stain! bath walls had grime and hair corners of tub and floor were years-long uncleaned dirt and mildew sink did not drain micro had food scraps I'm a fan of inexpensive motels but this unfortunately was the worst of the very few bad experiences I have had what a shame! Could be a nice place owners are friendly

Review 92：Comfy bed quiet location

Review 93：Cleanliness could have been better; there was remnants of puke on the box spring and floor. The edges of the carpet needed to be vacuumed.

Review 94：Location, price, staff

Review 95：Bed bugs! They had been a problem for awhile..mattress pad was covered in smashed bugs and blood stains. Different ages and sizes of bugs. Place was filthy..bath tub wouldn't drain..bathroom light didn't work. And pool was broken

Review 96：We were able to get a full refund

Review 97：Bathroom wasn't clean and we had to change rooms. Both rooms were dark and smelled old. Microwave was covered in food and bedding needs a serious upgrade.

Review 98：Price and staff changed my room.
