NEVER AGAIN
It could have been worse -- the room was a good size, although a little dank. All the negatives people mentioned in 2009 are true. We could hear EVERYTHING our neighbors said, all night, on both sides of our room. We called twice to complain, but I felt bad -- it was't really that they were so noisy (a little bit), but the noise travelled through the adjoining doors so clearly. There were 4 college kids next to us, up until 2 AM (therefore us also), and now I know all about their dogs waste, bars in their town and everything else. My wife brought earplugs for my snoring (which was nothing compared to the adjacent room noises), which we both used, and my wife also had to wear my noise-cancelling headphones to get some sleep (finally, at about 2:30). Now I know what earplugs are like. The room seemed clean, but no water pressure or drain, and only warm water in the shower. Both my wife and I felt like we were being bitten half the night, she ended up with red marks. Neither of us mentioned this to each other until the 2nd night. We booked 4 nights, but left after 2. The outdoor pool was shut down and there wasn't a single chair out there, like it's never open. The woman who filled the breakfast buffet obviously hates her task -- she did a horrible and painfully slow job. I asked her nicely about getting the coffee carafe refilled (please and thank you) and she scowled at me. No words, just a dirty look. Front desk people seem nice, but the late night guy didn't seem to care about our 2nd need for a noise complaint call. We're not fans of this area we discovered (bad restaurants, everything expensive for what it is, and the only time outside of "King of the Hill" I ever heard someone (a waiter, no less) say "I tell you what" at the end of a story), and this motel could have been our sanctaury -- but fell far short. We so little sleep here, we crashed the next afternoon away in our room -- poolside would have been nice. We're outta here. Oh, the Wi-Fi was nice, and I could post this while still in our room. Even if you like the Ozarks, stay somewhere else, maybe unless you're such a Denny's fan that you need one attached.
