Bed and bathroom were clean and neat. Unfortunately, while our room was non-smoking, it had a stale cigarette smoke smell. The bathroom had the worst smoke smell when the fan was turned on. I accidentally left two items in our room. I had flipped the bed covers over the items and did not realize I missed them when packing. I called the motel as soon as I realized. The gal assured me she would check with housekeeping and get back to me. She did not. I messaged the motel and got not response. We will not stay here again. Forgetting my items is on me. Stealing my items is on them. I have family in the area. They would have gladly gone and picked up my stuff.

Do not, I repeat, do not stay here. The room smelled like wet dogs had been kept in there for years. Tons of flies buzzing around inside the room. A fingernail was melted to the side table. Stains on the chairs and floor. Spend the extra money and stay away from here.

Only if you need a place
It was blah. Couldn’t get the room I reserved due to animal infestation. Never informed me until I arrived and put me in a room with a cot instead of two queens. The outlets were extremely loose and the faucets (sink and shower) leaked with low water pressure. The drawers, bed and shower had hair in it but the toilet was clean. The bathroom door looked like someone tried to bash it in and smoke alarm hanging from ceiling. Then after our first night in one of the desk employees came in to see if room was vacant even though they moved me in there for three nights.

We were disappointed to find that the lodging appears to be used for homeless residence, with much clutter and garbage at the doors and people smoking on chairs outside of the doors. The sheets were dingy and had holes in them; the walls were poorly patched and the front door safety bolt was broken off. We cancelled our 2nd night, but still have not received a refund. Very dissapointing.

We got there and they didn’t have our room available even though we booked months ago. Had our reservation but not our room…put us in an old room that was filthy and smelled horrible and bed and comforter were from the early 80’s. We got a refund and went elsewhere. Do not stay here…roach motel doesn’t do it justice.

The building is old and it shows. The condition of this hotel was below average. Not clean, dingy, old, sink is in bad shape, corroded etc… will not stay here again. My family left after the first night one and moved to another establishment.

My room was previously occupied yet not cleaned. There was hair on the pillowcases and bed sheets, a used bar of soap in the restroom. The restroom garbage can also wasn’t emptied. I appreciated the staff, who had kindly and quickly replaced the pillowcases and bedsheets. This is my 4th time at Fairgrounds Inn (previously stayed in 2019, 2022, and 2023). The condition of the room and property showed signs of wear & tear.

I asked for a refund from the property. It was disgustingly filthy. Everything was broken. It had all the charm of a crack house. It would not surprise me at all if they had an hourly rate.

The first thing you notice when you enter the lobby is the pictures in the ad is a lie. The lobby was filthy and dirty. The building is old and looks run down. In the back of the hotel where we needed to park were homeless people doing drug deals. The train runs several times a night right next to the hotel and blows their whistle as it passes. They offered breakfast, but the lobby was so dirty I wasn't about to eat there. The only positive was the bed was just ok and the shower was good.

I had low expectations due to the price per night, but we were showing livestock at the fairgrounds and this seemed like a decent alternative to camping. However, the rooms were not up to standard even for the low rates. The carpet was sticky and it became apparent that there were rodents in our room. The bathroom door did not shut all the way because the toilet was in the way. The curtains were damaged and didnt cover the window all the way. We werent given enough towels for the number of people we had listed for the room and there was zero room service during our stay. I will say that it was fairly quiet and parking was free convenient - but we wont be staying there again.

Yuck!!
We arrived as some junkies were making their way to the train tracks directly behind the building. When we opened the door a strong odour of mildew and industrial cleaning supplies wafted out. Walmart is close thankfully because we needed to go buy slippers as the floors were sticky. The mattress’ are from the 70’s and flat as a pancake. An overall terrible experience. You get less than you pay for. Will not return.
