範布倫凱藝酒店(Quality Inn Van Buren)

We chose this Rodeway Inn based on good reviews on the Choice Hotels site. A couple of days before our stay I looked at reviews at other sites and saw some really horrible reviews which caused me some concerns. We went to the hotel to check in and asked to see our room before we checked in. The room was furnished with unblemished furniture, crisp white linens and comforter on the bed, and very clean, so we checked in. I do not understand the reason for all of the horrible reviews that talked about pests, badly repaired rooms, nasty bathrooms, rude staff, etc. We found the bed very comfortable, the shower had great water pressure and a good supply of hot water. The desk personnel (also the owners I think) were professional and very friendly. It was everything one needs in a roadside inn for a comfortable night (we spent 2 nights). The cost was more than reasonable. Yes, the Inn is undergoing renovation, so there are signs of construction and the breakfast room is not available at this time. But, we saw no reason for the kind of reviews we saw at other booking sites. Maybe some people think they should be able to stay in a Hotel Intercontinental for the price of a Rodeway Inn. For us, all we need is clean, comfortable rooms with good TV, wifi, and friendly people - especially in the price bracket. We will happily stay at this particular property again when the opportunity presents itself.
