Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
DO NOT BOOK HERE! There were holes in the shower, stains on all of the bedding, I was told housekeeping was off for the weekend, the furniture and bedding had holes, and an adjoining room was complaining about bugs. I spoke with the manager and let him know I was uncomfortable staying there and requested a refund and he screamed at me. He called me greedy and refused to refund my stay. I was traveling for a funeral and exhausted upon arrival. I paid and still chose to leave the room and stay elsewhere due to being uncomfortable and fear of retaliation from the manager.

Would stay again!

Stayed one night, Friday 8/25/23, at Spencer Inn and Suites when checking out a car to buy. Friendly staff, clean room, good hot and cold breakfast (eggs, biscuits & gravy, waffles, cereal, drinks, etc), multiple food places close for supper, Walmart and other such stores close also. Would definitely stay here again for the location, comfort, and price of our room.

Basic motel room

The room was clean, but very basic. The carpeting was wet and the tile floor in the bathroom was moist. The beds were comfortable, and the room was spacious and comfortable.

Looks older on the outside, but rooms are nicely updated (except the carpet, which needs replacing - old and musty). Felt secure, clean, and was perfect for the overnight stay I needed for a wedding.
