Worst hotel booking ever
Worst hotel situation ive ever had. Says everywhere that check-in time is 3pm to midnight, was there at 930pm and the place had all the lights off at the front desk, there was no one there and no one answered. Then spent almost 2 hours playing the run around game with someone from hotels.com customer service before they wanted to transfer me to a different hotel over an hr away, never booking through this site again was extremely unprpfessional all the way around

A little disappointed
Overall the property is decent. I picked the property because I am on a fixed income and it was the most economical place in the area. When I checked in I didn't have my reading glasses with me so I signed the receipt without seeing the total charge but quickly realized they were charging me 11 dollars and some change more than my guaranteed reservation was booked for. The lady apologized but claimed to not know how to refund the money. She was very polite but as I mentioned I am living on a fixed income and every little bit can make a difference so it was pretty disappointing. Even though the stay was acceptable I don't plan on staying there again.

We didn't like that we couldn't stay there because they do not take online reservations so we had to find a room somewhere else. We stayed in Spencer Iowa in a very nice motel. You might contact the Earth Inn so you take them off of your online register.

Closing for good reason
After making a booking on hotels.com we arrived to find no one at the hotel. We called a number posted and they said they told Hotels.com to stop booking because they were closing. We were then directed to find the cleaning lady to see if there was a room. She showed us one but we declined and the entire place was dark and smelled damp and moldy and the floor was squishy. This place is not adorable. It’s disgusting.

Dreary, bad wifi, poor service, missed opportunity
Sadly the motel doesn't live up to its potential. The common areas are dreary, to say the least - dimly lit, poorly maintained - offering an off putting first impression. There was music piped into the hallway with a speaker oh so perfectly aimed at my door - I was treated to that all night. The room itself showed an attempt to actually be cute, with a back-woods theme and custom painting that showed at one point someone was at least trying. The effect was completely ruined, however, by an over-abundance of warning - practically threatening - signs. Do not smoke or we'll prosecute you and that will destroy your hope of ever holding a job again. Do not wash dishes. Do not cook in your room because our pest control bill is already too high. Etc, etc. I have never stayed in a place with so many postings in so many places threatening its guests... When I tried to connect to the wi-fi, the signal was weak and coming in and out. Clearly this was a known problem as their were two wifi-extenders also listed, but they had different passwords. I called the front desk for help and was told it was just the one wi-fi, the password was in the room, and hung up on me while I asked about the extenders listed. The electrical outlets were so worn that a cell phone charger wouldn't stay plugged in. In the end of all, it was a bed for a night. But I bet for only a few dollars more I could have stayed at a place that didn't presume I was a criminal and actually had wifi that worked.

First impressions are not good. I thought I had made a huge mistake making a reservation there. You enter thru a storm door that has been patched up. The stairs need work. You have to go thru 2 doors to get to the inside hallway which is very dark. The room itself wasn't bad. Seemed clean enough. The mattress is lumpy. I couldn't find a thermostat and only saw 3 vents in the floor near the exterior wall. Must be some kind of central heat and air? Everything was unplugged. It was very quiet. I'd say it was a throwback to the 70's or 80's.

We left shortly after check in. The room had lingering cigarette smell which I am allergic to. There was only one wall light in the room that worked. One wall outlet available for use you would have to set what you plugged in on the floor. The room had an adjoining door to the next room to make it a suite which was closed and locked, but you could hear normal levels of conversation from the adjoining room as if they were in your room. We were just going to spend the night but decided it was not for us. We moved on. There were car’s from many states in the lot so they must have found the property acceptable. We did not.

The only problem was that they didn't have our reservation. They had a room but apparently they don't do internet reservations at this point. Other than that everything was fine.
