Great stay!
We had a great experience staying at Benton Inn. The room was very comfortable! The bed was plushy and comfortable. The sheets were smooth, soft, and clean. (Not starchy like so many hotels, they also smelled clean without having that hospital smell) We had a mini refrigerator, microwave, and a table with two chairs. The bathroom came stocked with a hand soap dispenser at the sink and body wash and conditioning shampoo dispensers in the shower. These smelled sooooooooo GOOD!!!! The area was quiet and safe. With plenty of parking. There was a grassy area around the Inn where we could walk our dog. Bonus for being dog friendly. The owner was SUPER NICE! He checked on us to see if we needed anything. This is a family owned place. They are working on remodeling the rooms as they get the money. You will be taken care of here. We would stay here again.

The property is VERY old, with a vaguely Bates Motel vibe on the outside. Our room had a fridge and a TV, both worked fine (no coffee pot or hair dryer). Although most things were old (as well as the decor), they were clean and everything worked - plenty of nice hot water with good pressure. It was a quick one-night stop on the way to view the eclipse that I booked at the last minute, so I couldn't too choosy. Nick, the Property Manager, was very friendly and competent and seemed to run the place well.

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".

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!
