Marcotte's Family Motel — Hotel in Woodbine Township

I have stayed here the past four or so years the same weekend. It is not top of the line or the cleanest. But I enjoyed the homey atmosphere. That was until this weekend. The season for the Japanese beetles began and they are all over. They were swarming in some of the rooms. It appears they are getting in through the old windows of the building. After they vacuumed twice to remove the bugs (this was not successful), I had a discussion with the owner. I finally asked for reimbursement, he smuggly said no. He says all he can do is provide a shop vacuo I can keep vacuuming them up. No customer should have to use a shop vac in a room they are paying to stay in every 1/2 hour so they do not get swarmed. I did "storm out" saying he will hear more about that and went to try make this bug infested room workout. Shorty after that he met me with a check and said "Here's your money back. Get the F* out." He the carried on a called me a F* drunk C*. Sorry I hate that word. FYI I was not drunk, He had problems understanding me because I started to talk fast as his rudeness angered me at our first meeting. I was called those vulgarities a couple times. I was told to never come back, hmmm no problem there! ||1. I was not being rude to have been treated like that and no business owner should be using vulgar language to customers.||2. If the bugs can't be controlled, don't book those rooms until things get better.||3. Yes it's a country setting but if people are paying to stay at your establishment, don't expect it ok to have bugs in the room and fix it by providing a shop vac!||Trust me those bugs were swarming and...

We stayed here..Well we wont again..They had bugs in the rooms..They looked like lady bugs but wasnt them..There was like 30-40 of them plus flies in there as well..In the window ares..there was spider webs..So I do know that room hasnt been used in a while..But maybe it has and they only change the bed sheets and not any thing else..Plus they so charged I think way to much for that room..Then the owner said when my husband paid for the room..He didnt have change to give back WOW really..WONT EVER STAY THERE AGAIN..He was drunk when we got there as well..I so cant believe he was drinking right out side talking to a friend..Not really caring to much..He I guess was on the phone with some one..Said I am with a person to check in..He to me after i hear that he didnt seem to friendly..Never been to a place that a person who owned it was out side drinking beer..I do like helping place that are family owned..But never again at this place..Use the money you didnt give back to us to light the light cover since it broke cause we was getting...

We were looking for something affordable, clean and without cigarette odors. We wanted to run between Savanna, Galena, and some of the vineyards near Elizabeth, so this was centrally located. We felt their rates were reasonable. They have various price points, depending on what you need...our needs were simple. We knew we were not going to be spending a lot of time there, but we DID want to know that we were staying someplace reputable and clean. Our room was very roomy, clean, decorated in country/retro (Loved the mid-century dining table!!), FULL bathroom, refrigerator and microwave. The bed was very comfortable. The only criticism is that it was a bit warm, and the A/C did not seem to be working properly. In the morning, Donna left us a tray that included a pot of coffee and muffins. (This is NOT a B&B....this is an added amenity). The creamers are all very unique, and this was fitting with the overall "theme" of the facility. Donna is friendly, professional and helpful. If we were going to the area again, we would definitely...
