Cleanliness
1.5
Multiple reviews describe filthy bed sheets, dirty towels, stained/unclean bathrooms, visible bugs and cockroaches — strong negative sentiment on cleanliness.
Service

Staff described as polite/nice in several reviews, though some report unresolved issues (TV/internet not fixed, front desk more explanatory than corrective) — overall cordial but inconsistent follow-through.
Location
8.5
Called 'quiet' and 'convenient' in reviews; no major location complaints, so location is a relative positive for guests.

Frequent room issues: broken/torn shower curtain, mattress spring protruding, rust and wood damage on bathroom door, dirty carpets and walls, some rooms with bugs — poor room quality overall.
Amenities
6.5
Mixed amenities: the shower received very strong praise for power/massage modes, but other amenities suffered (TV/internet problems, outdated main area); breakfast offerings are basic.

Several guests said the savings aren't worth the experience and noted disappointment given the condition of rooms and facilities — value is perceived as low.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Breakfast described as basic and occasionally poorly stocked; waffles available but juice watered down; overall 'OK' but not impressive.

Pros:

Staff was nice enough to my face but told them twice my tv wasn’t working and for the 3 nights h stayed was never addressed or followed up on. Main area is pretty outdated and floors disgusting. The food wasn’t bad decent grab and go style options and waffles but the juice was waaayyy watered down. Room itself not bad but the comforter had distinct cigarette burns in them. Have stayed there a couple times and this was the worse. I am usually pretty chill but it just isn’t worth saving $100 bucks anymore.

Pros:

The shower is amazing!!! I had a hard work out before coming in and the shower has this powerful massaging mode or modes I should say. My rotator cuff was off and my ears weren't popping. Not anymore!!! I can breathe and I feel amazingly popped from my head to my toes!!! Now a great night's sleep in this roomy bed is all a person could ever dream of.....

In Sedalia's busy season, you risk disappointment
Pros:

I've stayed here before. It was good enough for my simple needs then, and mostly good enough this time.

My room had at least two bugs in it. I definitely identified one as a cricket. The other might also have been one. The front desk seemed more interested in explaining than rectifying, so I didn't pursue the matter.

Fortunately, I was far too busy to spend much time in my room.

The free breakfast was OK but didn't have much of what I wanted, but I still went to Perkins afterward.

Next year, I'll reserve a room at a better-rated motel, and reserve earlier, so there will be plenty of choices.

Run away!!
Pros:

Booked this for the state fair to see a concert for a one night stay, the photos online definitely are not accurate. For the price definitely a rip off. This place is filthy and like a halfway house for long-term living drug addicts and low income, it smells terrible. The room conditions are disgusting unknown stains on the walls, old toothpaste spit in the sink, blood stains on the sheets, and definitely not clean. Contemplated driving hours back home instead of sleeping here or sleeping in our car. We slept on top of the sheets with blankets we had in the car. I came here alone with three kids, so I didn’t want to risk falling asleep driving back from the concert did not sleep well. None of us did because we were fearful of the bugs that may be crawling on us even though I did check for bedbugs. I talked to some mutual friends at the state fair, they said they fell for the pictures too not sure what room that is, but it wasn’t the one any of us stayed in and they had issues with cockroaches When they were there. Would never stay here again.

Definitely not great ..
Pros:

The lady at front desk was nice. Other than that. The room was DIRTY not something you would want your kids in- toilet wouldn’t flush correctly. There was some sort of dirt in the sink. Looks like the walls hadn’t been wiped down in a minute … disappointing.

Pros:

I liked how close it was to the Sedalia State fair grounds.

The hotel needed ventilation in the hallways very stuffy mildewy smell, and my girlfriend thinks she got some bedbugs, so needless to say we were not impressed.

Bad times
Pros:

I want a refund. In the door we encounter a spider in the sink. We flush it and the toilet doesn’t flush. No TV working as internet was down. We went to complain but couldn’t check out as the internet was down. They were mad at us for wanting to leave but we stayed as we already had tickets to the Fair.
We were on the second floor with no elevator. The ice machine across the hall did not work. The rates were inflated due to the Fair in town.

Pros:

The A/C would cool, but didn't remove the humidity. The floors in the bathroom always felt wet. Floor in bedroom sticky. There was trash on the floor in the bathroom when we got there. Breakfast food OK. Our keys stopped working the second day we were there. Had to get reprogrammed.
