Benton Inn

The room was pretty clean, minus all the dead bugs around the window and floor. But my bathroom was nothing like what was advertised. The shower was a literal hole in the wall with a lowered floor to prevent water 'leakage'. Online pictures showed full tub bath. But the bed was comfortable and the staff was super friendly. The electric outlets were all very loose and my cords kept falling out.

Asked for a 1st floor room. 3 cars in the lot but no rooms available. Made 70&80 year old guests climb 2 flights of stairs with luggage. Web site said "pet friendly" No mention of charge of $15.95 until check in. Don't stay here unless you want to pay extra for your pets. Questioned the charge and the answer was "we don't put that on the website".

Friendly service and very affordable

We paid for our room online and had to pay an EXTRA $50 deposit when we signed in. Had we known about that we would've found another place to stay. THEN . . . while we were gone, they snuck into our room! How do I know? Before we left, I went back to ask about the deposit and he said we couldn't get it back. He then pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of a red ash tray and said we smoked in a non-smoking room. Nevermind the fact, for all he knew, we smoked outside and brought in the ashtray so it wouldn't be stolen. Honestly, I don't care about that either way. What I DO care about is that they waited for us to leave and went into our room! There's no "Do Not Disturb" door hanger, btw, so there's that. Bit they didn't make the bed, they didn't take out the trash, and they didn't even give us fresh towels. They ONLY went into our room to snoop around!!! First night we couldn't get the TV to work so on the second day we asked them to come look at it. Now, get this, when he gets to the door he ASKS if he can come in. Really??? You're going to ask to come in but go snoop around without our permission after we keave??? Luckily, we had our valuables with us in the car. Besides that, the picture he showed me was an up close picture of the ashtray. You couldn't tell if that was in our room or the room next door! But, whatever. So unless you want to risk having something potentially stolen and you don't mind losing your hard earned money, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!

About what you would expect for a very budget friendly motel. Room was clean, but looked a bit rough (patched holes, flat pillows, etc.). We used this as a sleeping area while visiting family and that is why it worked for us!

The guy Nick in the office that runs this place, he's an amazing man! Now a dad! Congratulations to him! & Kudos for him running this hotel and being the MOST considerate person, I've EVER met in business! He has decent rates for this hotel too. I'm just very happy with my decision to come to Benton Inn. He lets you do your own thing (within reason) and will help any way possible! Great hospitality! Thank You so much!

The people are trying hard. No amenities..communication is a problem. The room is clean.

They have bed bugs and sewage issues, sewage came up in the drains and into the carpet all he said was someone will come to fix it tomorrow. It smelled terrible. Was not clean, could not use plug ins because it would pop the breaker the breaker box was in another room. So the person staying in the room has to go to another's customers room wake them up to fix it. Hours with out power.

The new owners have really made great improvements. Very comfortable mattress.
