What guests think

At Great Western Inn, reviews are mixed: many guests found the rooms comfortable and the price budget friendly, while others reported cleanliness problems including pests, worn or broken items, and unreliable Wi-Fi.

Several reviews note convenient access to stores, restaurants, and Highway 146, though the nearby intersection can be busy. Staff impressions are divided, ranging from welcoming and helpful to reports of rudeness and extra fees. Noise levels vary, and details about breakfast or on-site dining are minimal. Expect a budget stay with inconsistent standards.

Budget friendly but very clean and well kept. Maintenance was seen continuously working the grounds and the young man who checked me in was friendly and informative.

I messed up on the reservation. I live locally, so I drove down there & straightened it out. The desk clerk was very attentive & reasonable. We are having work done at our house & wanted a nice place for a hot shower. The room was nice & clean. The bathroom was immaculate. This is an older facility, so I was a bit Leary. However, the room was clean, didn't smell. My shoes did not stick to the carpet, my body did not stick to the bedspread. Oh, BTW, the bedspread had a 6" tear in it. Other than that, everything was great. I have nightmare stays at other small motels out of State. I was pleasantly surprised. Thank Great Western!!

The owner was very rude. The wifi in One building was out. When I let them know that I was there on a business trip for the weekend and needed Wi-Fi, I had to pay an upcharged fee to be moved to a double queen bed. When I contested the fee, I was told there would be no refund if I decided to leave. Charge an extra five dollars for a second room key.... that' unheard of. Overall, not a good stay

The staff was nice and they were diligently working on the grounds. The wi-if is very poor, the sink kept stopping up, the toilet wasn’t affixed solidly to the floor, the shower curtain needed replacing, and it was very close to a busy intersection which made it difficult to leave for meals etc.

Arrived, and the owner charged a $5 free for the key…which I returned. What does bother me are the bed bug bites all over my legs. The reasonable price apparently doesn’t mean cleanliness.

: “It was cozy and quiet, not loud being kept awake throughout the night. It was comfortable I think both was worth the price for what I payed for one day.”

It’s was a ok room for a night in and out but there were some younger cats outside from room to room from when I checked in at 930-8 the next morning. The ppl outside were noisy and the room was really noisy plus they have the brightest flood lights ever beaming through the window shade that won’t close all the way. Had ppl walking past my hotel back and forth all night. They don’t allow guests so no prostitution but you’d think they did with the ppl drinking in the parking lot. Would not recommend to a single woman or a family. Strictly a man the can carry imo.

I never was able to register even with your paperwork. They said they did not have a reservation under my name and nothing from Expedia. I was told to leave. I had to get a new motel for the week end. Politeness was not one of their virtues nor was any friendliness or manners exhibited. I want my money back.
