What guests think

At HomeTown Inn, most guests highlight clean, updated rooms, comfortable beds, friendly front‑desk service, and good value in a convenient roadside location near the highway and dining options, with many also appreciating easy check‑in and a generally quiet environment.

Common drawbacks include no breakfast, small or limited towels, and occasional noise from halls or neighboring rooms. Several reviews also report maintenance and housekeeping inconsistencies, such as slippery or slow‑draining tubs, paint or fixture issues, smoke odors, and intermittent staffing or billing problems. Pool experiences vary: many found the indoor pool and hot tub clean and warm, while a few noted strong chemical smells, hair, or a not‑hot‑enough hot tub. Expect a simple, budget‑friendly stay with updated basics and some variability.

Nice & quiet place to stay. The second night we were there the hot tub had a bunch of piles of hair in it, that was pretty nasty. The pool is nice and warm, however, it would be nice to ha e longer pool hours. 10pm is prwtty early on a weekend. Close to places to eat. Taco Grande is across the street is delish! And of course donuts as big as your head right across the street as well. Town has a cute park. Easy access to freeway.

This was a great hotel! Restaurant attached for ease. Room, beds, and bathroom were great! Only odd aspect was towels are not kept in the pool. You have to get them from the front desk and didn’t realize that until kids were already in the pool.

While it looked decently nice, my room was not ready at check in, even though we checked in 45 minutes after check in time. The sheets and towels had stains. Pool area was nice. Jacuzzi tub in the room was good. They need better seals between the conjoining room doors, I could hear my neighbor easily.

Chose this motel primarily for the price. We just wanted a clean place to sleep for 2 nights. What we DIDN'T receive was any housekeeping (not even clean towels without asking at the desk, the second day), no breakfast, just coffee, you must ask for pool towels. The wall in our room appeared to be repaired or repainted, and not close to the original color, the refrigerator was dirty, the door on the microwave cracked and even tho it bills as "no smoking, no pets" the old soaked in smell of stall smoke was present in our room. The parklot curb was littered with cigarette butts, and the security lock was busted so anyone could enter the building at anytime. Lastly, the air conditioning worked, it was loud and placed in the wall so that the cool air blew down on both our beds all night long, not good for sinuses. The bed was ok comfort wise, my sheets stained.

The hotel is well kept it was clean but the strong smell of smoke in a supposed “non-smoking” hotel was aggressive. Luckily there was a large window I could open in the room although that must be what is happening people are clearly smoking in their rooms out these windows!!! It was too strong not to have indoor smoking happening. It was hard on my breathing all night. Lots of people seem to be living at the hotel. It was fine for a quick one night stay!

Staff at check were polite and speedy. The room itself was quite dirty. Floors didn’t appear to have been swept, bathroom has something on the side of the tub and toilet didn’t appear to have been cleaned well. Also the handle for the shower was missing and the shower itself was quite poor. The hallway noise was very loud late and early. The pool area is very nice, but the spa was wuite unclean (hair, garbage, bugs). We have stayed at this hotel before and found it good for the price. I don’t know that we will return after this trip.

First off, when we arrived we paid with cash and had to pay a deposit. When we left they would not return our deposit. Very disappointed with the way we were treated. Will not stay here ever again. Plus the floors were dirty in the room, the bathroom door was broke so it didn't shut all the way.

The motel is immaculate and well maintained. Basic but everything we needed. We had just been saying that the walls must be thick because the place is so quiet — and then it wasn’t. Two semi-trucks spent the night not far from our window, their generators running. I was grateful for the room fan to help mask the noise, but could still hear it and feel the rumble from their engines.

We stayed 3 nights. Nobody cleaned our room once. Towels were small and non absorbent, bed frame was bigger than mattress so kept bumping our shins. Beds were very short. Rooms very small. Shower curtain did not keep water from spilling all over the floor. Pool and hot tub was amazing! Staff was kind and friendly.

Booked and paid for room on Hotels.com obviously. But when I checked in they said it had not been paid. I had to give them my CC to pay. Went to the room and settled in for the night. Room was decent with a bed that wasn't. Checked my CC and say BOTH charges on my card. Went back and showed front desk, guy gave me a cash refund and i went back to room. A few hours later as i was sleeping, the hotel manager calls my room and asks me to please come to the front. Now im really POed, i get up there and he explains that his new employee didnt know that cash refunds were not allowed. Finally he credited my CC but now i wait to see if it shows up. I WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN!

Hometown Inn was a good choice for us. We needed a budget friendly place to stay for a night. The hotel was near the interstate and near many helpful options like gas, an awesome bakery, across the street, and a Subway right next door. We liked our room very much. The beds were comfortable. We had a problem with AC at one point. When we reported it, they came to check it out almost immediately. The man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We plan to stay there again when we go back to that area.

We went through four rooms at check in before getting one that didn’t have problems. Exposed wires, broken lamps, broken microwave, broken tile. At check in they let us know that they are short staffed so no staff onsite starting at midnight. Proceed with caution.
