Owensville Motor Inn — Hotel in Owensville

The people that rate this hotel poorly are insane. It is one of the cleanest, nicely kept motels I have stayed in years. The owner is meticulous about keeping the rooms clean. He and his wife personally attend to the cleaning and operations. She does not speak English well, so he does the communication mostly. A few people seem to think he comes off a bit rude but he is actually quite friendly. I think he is just very concerned about his hotel, as small motels like his are often targeted by partyers and unsavory people wanting to rent a cheap room and tear it up. I have stayed at this hotel numerous times it is very very nice the vaulted ceilings actually make the room seem quite large, there's endless hot water in the shower, they are pet friendly with a small fee, and the area outside around the hotel is very well kept including the lighting, parking lot, etc. If you're seriously looking for a decent place to stay at a reasonable rate, this is the place you want to stay. Don't listen to any of the others giving this place a bad rating, as I think they needed to pay $119 per night and stay at a Marriot, Hilton, or Hampton instead. In fact the person that says this place is "disgusting" most likely has alterior motives, owns a hotel nearby, etc. Stay there and you will see, and you will...

Spacious rooms and friendly staff, but if you're sensitive to smoke, room 116 smelled awful. The owners ran an ozone machine, which helped, but unfortunately I think they converted a smoking room to a nonsmoking or I was mislead about it being a nonsmoking room and even after the machine ran it had a stale cigarette smell which is probably nearly impossible to remove. Our family members stayed in other rooms (117-120) and they smelled better (older but not like stale smoke) so if you're even moderately sensitive to smoke, don't stay in 116. Otherwise it was fine if your standards aren't terribly high. Don't expect it to be like a big chain. Furniture, fixtures and decor varied from room to room and often had quite a bit of wear and/or damage.

We stayed here due to the location so there aren't many options so I wasn't planning on being too picky but I draw the line at health hazards like secondhand smoke. I already have breathing issues and a nonsmoking room should mean just that, so it was disappointing to...

Recently stayed here when in town for a sporting event. We have four kids, two of them under two, so cleanliness is extremely important to us. I can’t sleep in a room that smells even the slightest of smoke or mildew, which can both be common in motels. Everywhere else was booked because of the event in town and we ended up booking here. I was very pleasantly surprised by this facility. The staff were welcoming, polite, and accommodating. It was chilly out that day and unlike most hotels that don’t turn on the room heat or a/c until you get there, they had preheated the room before our arrival. Upon entering the room, it immediately smelled like fresh linen and was immaculately clean. While they may not have the most updated decor, I’d much rather a clean room with good staff than a modern room with rude staff that’s dirty. If you’re looking for a place that feels safe and is budget friendly while still meeting high standards of cleanliness, this is the place. If we’re ever in town again this is where we...
