Please avoid this place like your life depends on it, I'm begging you. Stopped here for the night due to car issues and bad fog on my way home to Ohio. I honestly wish I had just slept in my car at the gas station down the street. Where do I start? First of all, the counter guy wouldn't let my boyfriend pay for my room over the phone. I'm running low on funds due to multiple car issues so he was trying to do me a solid. Nope. So I asked could he book it online. The guy says yes but then he'll have to email him a picture of his credit card and ID with a note about me staying there. Ummm, no. So, my daughter used PayPal to send me enough for the room. I pay for it and get the keycard. This is where the real horror starts. I enter the musty room to the TV on. That's a little disconcerting to say the least. First thing I did was look in the bathroom to make sure I was alone. My boyfriend (on the phone) said to look under the bed. I tried. It's sitting on some sort of wood frame which kinda creeps me out. Hopefully there's not a secret compartment with some creep hiding underneath. It's probably there so they don't have to clean the crack pipes and needles up from under the bed though really, I'm guessing from the looks of this room. It's the most disgusting room I've ever seen in my life. I'm literally afraid to lay down on this bed so I've been just sitting here exhausted for hours. I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll start with the smell. It smells like decades of chain smoking, hard drugs, alcohol, and sex for hire in a prison cell. I could be much more descriptive but I'd prefer not to get flagged so use your imagination. Now on the the physical appearance of this h e double hockey sticks hole. There's holes in the drywall and multiple gouge marks in the hideous dark blue "accent wall". The decor is 1970's at best. The entertainment center/microwave holder/dresser is falling apart. There are countless cigarette burns on the tub and sink, as well as just general grime. There is no bath towel (not that I'm planning on taking my clothes off, trust me), just a hand towel, washcloth and bath mat. The bath mat is laid over the grungy tub with the toiletries on top of it. So gross. Think that's bad? It gets worse. The chair in this room is not just threadbare, it is covered in multiple suspect stains. You couldn't pay me to sit in it. But wait, there's more because I saved the best for last. The piece of fabric covering the rock hard bed (I can't call it a bedspread, as I'm pretty sure it's a curtain of some sort) is covered in jizz. Yes, you read that right, this place has so much DNA in it that ancestry dot com could find everyone's missing links within just a few short weeks of gathering samples from this Bates Motel. Pray for me y'all. I'm glad I had my own pillow and blanket. I pray you never have to stay in Sullivan, MO but if you do, for the love of all that's holy, Don't stay here. Minus One Million Stars. read more

See all

No breakfast, recliner, table with chairs, or alarm clock clock as advertised. Noticed cops here multiple times during our stay.. We also had random phone calls in middle of the night where no-one would answer, followed by knocking & people screaming next door. Couldn't wait to get out! read more

Just drove across five states and was tired. You can only get ice at the front office and they limit the amount. Also had a king no smoking room. Had to air it for three hours before it was tolerable to breathe. No other rooms available except smoking so I was stuck. The bed was clean and comfy. You can only have hot water for 1 minute obviously so had to have a cold shower. I know I was up before my neighboring room. So must be a limit. Would have been nice to know. Would recommend if you have a face mask and only want to sleep. I was kind and killed all the spiders living in their tub for them. read more

We pulled in at 6:15 am to get a room after driving 400 miles. When we arrived, we had to call the lobby for someone to help us. The person who answered sounded like we were a bother and we had woke them up from their slumber. When we got to the room l, there was a musty scent right away. The pillows were flat and and thin, there was also someone else's hair on the sheets. At 8:30 am, room service knocked on our door, and woke us up after less than 2 hours of sleeping. I called the front desk and asked if we could have a late checkout. They said absolutely not, it would 10$ per hour that we were late. I asked him if he could make an exception since room service knocked on my door and woke us up. He proceeded to argue with me and tell me that room service doesn't Co. E until 9. Zero customer service. Absolutely would never stay here again. read more

After driving 300 miles I decided to check online for a place to rest for the night. Being midnight I got a little snack and came across this establishment. Now, I was absolutely not expecting much for the price I paid. But I did pay for a king size smoking room. When I arrived and proceeded to check in I was asked if it was "okay no problem" that I can have a twin bed. I said no I paid for a king size bed, then I guess she called her husband out and he said it was midnight and if I were able to smoke outside. Mind you not it's snowing and 12 degrees outside. I said no I paid for a king size smoking room. When they finally agreed to give me what I paid for, I came to the room and there's no working heat. Worse experience ever. read more

Everything as expected. Small but good enough breakfast. Nice lighting around the cars. Clean and neat.

This motel is the worst rat hole ever seen. Booked for husbands meeting. Room was filthy. Bugs on the floor. Linens had not been washed. Husband scared to remove shoes for fear of getting a fungus or something worse. Unpainted walls, holes in the drywall, room smelled musty mildew and other rank smells. Key did not work. Was told to have the front desk girl let him in room. Complained finally moved to an equally nasty room. complained again. Linda the manager knocked on the and told my husband to vacate the premises. Linda the manager was a horror to deal with. Did not apologize for the filth or offer a refund or refund conformation. Called the police dept for being denied service without compensation. Also called the health dept about the condition of the motel and health concerns. Called several times to demand answers why my husband was treated despicably. She hung up on me. Tried to get name of regional manager she hung up on me. Do not ever stay in this rat hole. I travel extensively and the worst place I have ever seen. Rude manager and staff. Nasty motel not fit for a dog. Spend the few extra dollars and stay elsewhere and your sanity. This experience was most horrifying ever. Others have complained of this manager Linda kicking paying customers out for complaining and since booked on Expedia or other travel site no refunds. This is despicable horror of a human being. Take my word and stay far far away. read more
