Stayed at Big Foot Motel for three nights. Positively, we were upgraded due to a non-working TV, which was a nice touch. However, the room had issues: a dirty, unusable fan; found used clothes under the bed; and frequent bumble bee visits in the bathroom. The room smelled strongly of cigarettes, necessitating the purchase of an air freshener, and the outside area smelled of cat urine. On the upside, the large bathroom and three effective heaters made our stay comfortable. The fridge, microwave, and TV functioned well. Its location was convenient, close to food, a gas station, the river, and our family, making it ideally situated. Despite the cleanliness and maintenance issues, the motel’s location and some amenities provided a decent stay. With improvements, Big Foot Motel could be a much better choice for travelers.

Needs big improvements
Don’t get me wrong the lady was good, but the hotel needs a big make over, rooms need a make over as well. The room I had the cable cord was broken off in the tv box so I had no tv while I was there, and cigarette smoke was horrible couldn’t sleep cause of it, I even bought air fresheners worked for a little bit but then it got bad again had to walk outside for some fresh air through out the night.

The room was very cold, had the heater on high the whole time. The bedding was clean sheets, and the blanket wasn't much heavier than the sheet. I wasn't comfortable sleeping most of the night.

Movie nostalgia stay only.
Manager was great. We stayed because the movie. Room was worn out and even though it was non smoking smelled strongly of smoke. Using the same comforter from the 60s I think. Mattress was hollow and pillows were pancakes. If it wasn’t for the nostalgia of the movie wouldn’t have stayed. Some of these ratings make me wonder about the system.

Quality equal to tenting in the rain, pick tent!
I knew the motel was older....but it just went downhill from there. 2 of the lights in the room were out. One missing a switch. Carpet was old, soiled with a wear pattern. Dresser was stained and dirty inside. Room 23 needed everything replaced except the bed. No hair dryer. Extention cords powering things. Bed was clean but that is a given. We stayed because it was raining. TV was partial funtioning, sink missing stopper.....loud neighbors. Interesting artwork view out bathroom window.

Not a very good hotel
this is an old hotel needing repairs, improvment. The bathroom floor felt soft and inclined down, the toilet paper holder was missing one side, the shower was very small & you could barely move around. The bed was soft and squeakly. The air conditioner was so high and could not see the controls. It worked good though. NO coffee maker in the room. There were neighbors who lived next to the hotel who were loud & partied until 2:30 AM so we didn't sleep well.

This little motel is conveniently located and the manager is nice. The room was not the cleanest. The vents were really dusty and we found a dead cockroach in the kitchen! The A/C worked but not great and I got up at 5:30am to no hot water so I nuked some water and gave myself a sponge bath.

I thought l registered for 2 persons. Apparently l didn't. The manager noticed me and went ballistic. She came in with a sign that said failure to disclose a 2nd person meant having to pay $50. I gave her my card to pay. She threw it on the bed. She took my friend ID and said she was going to call the sheriff. Very weird experience. It all happened because l asked for soap and shampoo because there was none in the room.

Horrified by the price $99 bucks a night once I saw it ...paid that for broken windows, stench of idk what. Dirty and holes in ceiling burn marks on carpet.. toilet running, trash under beds ..I'm surprised the health department doesn't shut it down. I had no idea!!! Ill not be returning. Cheryl is nice the manager and upgraded me if you can call it that. The maids are nice and its just smelly dirty disgusting. Id suggest the health department shut it down to be honest. I have never paid so much money for a crappy place.
