Belva Deer Inn — Hotel in Sigourney

Pro: great water pressure in shower.

The rest: The $ 90.00 Friday night rate should be rethought in this tiny, tiny, tiny town and what you will read... It's not even close to the center of town. It appears to be mostly in business for local weddings or family visits in town who arrive very very late, or drunk enough to blur everything.

It's not great. The cleaning is only enough to get by. Not one step beyond. It uses the cheapest of everything including liquid mixing (has like oil slick on top)bitter coffee. Plastic Soap dispenser in shower. No toiletries in sight. Cheap. Everything is quite old & dated. I'm gonna guess late 70s. Pretty sure the bedspread was a 1970s purchase. See photo for your own flashback. The breakfast selection was a horrible joke. The bananas were so brown there were fruit flies. They called this thing that tasted & crumbled like dust... a bagel and it was in a zip lock baggie. Frozen but fully thawed waffles in a ziploc... on the counter. Effort not made to refresh or keep clean.

At check in, (and out)I found the men at the front desk to be mute and unhelpful. Disappointed after speaking with someone on the phone who was so pleasant, to come in to scowling men as if I interrupted something important at 930pm after 6 hours of driving. The front desk said "I need your ID" and that was it. Nothing else. No Hello, no if you need anything let us know...Literally nothing. I had to check the key envelope for my room # because they were mute and couldn't tell me my room number or which direction it was. When I left I put the key cards on the counter & said thank you, but the dude didn't bother to look up.

The 1970s hair dryer did not operate which was really inconvenient. When a hair dryer is listed in the room description, I pretty much expect a working one. See photo of what used to be called "a blow comb" without the accessories. Can't ask front desk because "mute" is in full blown play there.

The communal shampoo & body wash stuck in the shower wall in a dispenser, in lieu of toiletries was throughly disgusting. Uck!!!!! Congealed "conditioning shampoo & body wash" in gas station bathroom soap dispensers in the shower. Different layers of Congealed goo in black plastic dispensers... I'm generally not a germophobe, but the gas station plastic soap dispensers in the shower triggered a level 5 germophobe reaction.

They definitely don't clean the edges of the carpet and the chair cushion on the chair in the room is literally curling up on the sides.

It's a "do not return" from me, and I travel with sanitizer spray, wipes, my own sheets. blankets, and towels for these kind of...

First of all, if you tell them when you are booking that you qualify for the senior citizen discount don’t assume you will be given the discount. We had talked about it when I made the reservation - but upon departing I asked what rate we had been charged, and it was not the discounted rate discussed when we booked. And the desk clerk is sooo unfriendly...In person and on the phone! I thought I could kill her with kindness but decided she won’t break. I read the review titled “sneaky” and I can see where they are coming from. They will not mention the discount to help you out. ||||Plus, we stayed two weekends in a row. The first weekend we both woke up with sore throats and I ended up getting so sick. It smells really funky, so I don’t know if it was mold or cleaning materials. So the next weekend we left the windows open (we stayed 3 days, so had time to make a difference) which helped the smell. Plus we shut the air conditioner off during the night, and had a different room. So not sure what the problem was, but the couple who stayed in the room we had been in (the weekend before) also had the same experience.||||Hotel is in good shape, but the bedspread looks like it’s from the 80s. Lighting is really low for putting on makeup. Handicap room has a straight chair, but not a chair and ottoman.||||Breakfast is provided, but it is a disappointing continental breakfast of toast, bagels, English muffins (not muffins), 3 oatmeal packets and 3 kinds of cereal. Both weekends there was a couple of bananas and clementines, until gone. I really don’t think it gets refilled. We had a good-sized wedding party there, and there was minimal food available. We were in there an hour-and-a-half and it was never refreshed during that time. One pot of coffee...not marked whether it’s...

This hotel was much nicer than the one across the way. And at first we thought that the staff was also much more polite. But we come to find out that wasn't so much the case. We stayed in this one-horse town because a friend lives there. Myself and another friend came from quite a distance so we got a room. We even asked the front desk if we could have a room away from other people because we might be a little louder than the average person. She seemed accommodating and laughed about it. Just a few hours later we have the police at the door. She did not give us a warning by calling or coming to the door, but went straight for calling the police. The next thing we know we're being booted out in the middle of winter in the middle of the night. No refund no nothing. Although I do agree we were probably a little loud simply by being polite and asking us to be quiet would have been sufficient. I will never stay in this hotel again and I recommend that anyone that plans to do anything but sleep here should probably look for other accomodations. I found their behavior very unprofessional and quite sneaky. Next time I guess we will stay at the other hotel or another town entirely....
