What guests think

At Emerald Inn & Lounge, reviews describe an older, budget property with friendly staff and quiet stays, decent value for quick overnights, but inconsistent upkeep and dated rooms that vary in comfort.

Guests often note easy check-in, budget pricing, and a convenient location off the interstate with restaurants nearby. Multiple reviews cite spotty Wi‑Fi and closed or missing facilities, including the pool, ice machine, and the long‑shuttered lounge, and some report housekeeping lapses or strong odors. Expect a no-frills stopover that trades modern polish for low prices and basic comfort.

Not a lot to brag about it’s just ok for a night stay. I’m by myself. The app shows a lounge, so I was hoping for a night cap. But it looks like it hasn’t be open for sometime. It’s less expensive but I guess you get what you pay for. Overall it’s just okay. Oh and good thing I brought my own pillow, the bed only has throw pillows not sure if they change the pillow covers on those. The sheets were clean.

I would say the worse place I ever stayed. Or should I say booked to stay but decided to pay for another room at a different motel. Many things were wrong but primarily the name says lounge but has not been open in years. It’s says pool online but the pool also has not been open in years. They also had a bunch of guys hanging around our assigned room. It was a total rip off but of course I could not cancel for a refund. Lesson learned I guess. I was just trying to find something reasonable.

Disappointing - not clean and not as advertised on internet. There was no continental breakfast, one of the beds had hair in it and the bottom of the bathtub was filthy.

I had to leave after 30 minutes and pay for another room at a different motel because the room was so incredibly dirty. Black mold in the fridge, dried urine on the toilet seat, carpet so dirty that after stepping on it barefoot I left a dark footprint on the white sheets. I have a pretty high tolerance for roadside motels but this was beyond tolerable. I have mold and dust allergies and started feeling bad after just a few minutes.

The staff was very friendly but the room was kind of gross. Various stains, paint missing, one of the pillows smelled dirty. The whole room felt dirty and old.

The room cleaner must not have wiped down the nightstand and the table because I found dried up liquid rings left from beverage cups. The refrigerator kept making a high pitched buzzing sound that kept waking me up. The toilet paper was not restocked. The light’s motion sensor was broken so the light kept turning off every 3 minutes. I found someone’s curly black hair left in the bathroom. The table teeters as though it’s legs are about to break.

This property is age-worn, and the carpet was old and wrinkly. The bathroom was adequate, but everything needs sprucing up. The TV was unwatchable, no channel guide, the internet was iffy, and there was no ice bucket, coffee maker or hair dryer. The bed was comfortable, and the AC worked so that is a plus.

The price was right and the room was adequate for a quick night's stay off of the interstate. The room had a comfortable, homey feel with sufficient air conditioning. The bed was a little harder & the water temperature of the shower was a little cooler than I like, but I was still able to sleep okay and wash-up before heading out. I would definitely stay here again, and likely will!

One of the men who ran yhe place was rude, no staff went in to check on our room for fresh towels to toiletries, the room was clean but it smelled like moldy food. I had to buy a bottle of fabreeze and the AC would not stay on. Unless i reset it, it would go off after 10 minutes and wouldnt go back on on its own for hours. Also no phone in the room too call front desk if we had any problems. Either then that my atay was quiet.

Our stay was good. Nothing to complain about. It is a perfect place to stay if you just need an inexpensive place to sleep and shower. It was quiet and the people were nice who checked us in and out. There is a Starbucks and a Sizzler very close:)
