Nice weekend stay

We booked a room at the Westport Inn back in May for our pilgrimage trip to Carthage, Missouri, it was the last room available. Based on the photos online, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but to my surprise, it turned out better than I anticipated.They sent the room number and door lock code via text, and we had no trouble accessing the room. Although it was small, it had everything we needed for a weekend stay in Joplin. The room included a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, which was convenient. I especially liked the cozy decor, it gave the space a warm, welcoming feel. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we’d definitely love to return next year for our annual pilgrimage to Carthage.

It was a pleasant surprise as the room was small but very cozy and clean. The surrounding area was quiet and service was great as they provided me promptly what I asked for after checking in. The check in instructions was sent to me prior to my arrival which was very convenient. I will definitely stay again and love to recommend it to everyone.

We liked the unit that we stayed in; it was clean and had some interesting (local) racing memorabilia inside. Our unit had a keypad lock on the door. The location is easy to get to if you get off Main St. exit from I-44 and drive north down the road.

Cute but felt dirty

The place was super cute. My issues were that there was no front office staff. Everything had to go through calling or texting. The AC wasn’t working properly and the reception on the phone told me it should, and never followed up with me. Then there were hairs in the bed and the comforter looks like it was never washed. So I couldn’t sleep well there thinking I was sleeping in a dirty bed.

Don’t waste your money.

The worst experience I’ve had. We were locked out of our room. Called over 30 times. Texted. Left voicemails. Started calling off of my husbands phone. NOTHING. Ended up having to call the non emergency line. Slept in our car until 2am. The next morning all we received was a text saying sorry. The cop said “this isn’t the first time”

I will never know how the rooms are. The property representative was not available for check in and never responded to my calls or texts. The Expedia rep blamed me for not contacting the property “24 hours” before check in as mentioned in special instructions. Ok, my mistake! Still, even Expedia was unable to reach the property! I had to book a room at a different motel. If there was a family emergency I understand, hopefully that wasn’t the case.

Quaint nicely decorated cabins. Check in was difficult the office was closed. No instructions on the door. Had to call their phone number to find out which room and code- we should have been sent those instructions earlier in the day

The ac leaked the entire time we were there. We tried to contact them and they wouldn’t answer once they did their fix was to throw towels on top of it. And they never once came back in to change out the towels so then we were stepping on soaked towels…. I tried to contact them by email, text and phone and they NEVER answered and that was before we even got there the road noise was insane!!! This was my first and my last visit to Westport inn!!!

Disgusting. Not ever cleaned, just bed made.

My first impression was CUTE!. Just big enough for solo traveler. I tried to unpack for my 3-nights. The hanging rod was 8 ft high so it couldn't be reached, no hangers. I had to pile my bags and clothing into the caaninet, unpacking each day. The microwave was filthy, nasty grease & grime. I used the bathroom and went to wash my hands and there was that pink slime around the drain...you know, the bacteria that grows from not being cleaned in months. I washed my hands, used the old ratty towel (did NOT smell bad at all, so that was nice), then I went to Walmart for cleaning supplies. I wiped the goo off the microwave, the cupboard door, the front door and handles, the bathroom toilet, there was "something" on toilet lid. Floors & shower slimy. I had to wash the moldy coffee pot and there was a TON of spilled coffee ON the coffee pot burner. The basket was moldy. Cleaning the pot and coffee maker took me 45 minutes. It obviously had never been cleaned between tenants. First night sleeping was hindered by heavy mold smell. I covered my face to sleep. The room does have a ceiling fan and a wall AC unit, both were ON upon arrival. Next day I turn AC off and mold smell was gone so I tried to sleep with no AC, just fan. At 2 am I was soaked in sweat. Fan was set WINTER mode, it was filthy so I had to clean it (at 2am) then flip switch, use lace curtain as filter on ac. Better. Cut my stay short, didn't stay even tho I paid for 3 nights. Shower curtain needs washed!

disappointed

We checked in by phone, there was never anyone at the office during the hours posted on the door. I walked into a dirty room and was told that they would give us a discount but was charged full price. The TV sound did not go up and we were unable to hear news or anything we tried to watch. We had planned to pay cash at checkout but instead had to let it be charged to the card we had held the room on. I will not stay there again.
