Very nice motel. Super clean, nice staff, updated bathrooms.

Honestly had everything I could have needed!

10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-25-2018

Hotel employee is extremely friendly and helpful of the area. The room is way more than I was expecting - like a nice apartment and still a better price than the other hotels around here. The bathroom is gorgeous and beds very cozy.

Not at all.

Great staff. Nice bathroom.

Mattresses are older than me. Really, really need to be updated.

Very clean.

The window curtains didn't cover the windows. But I guess that's how they roll.

The renovated room was very modern and we enjoyed the decor.

The chairs in the sitting room were very dirty.

9JoePosted on: 10-5-2025

Great access from the highway. Reasonably priced.

There really wasn’t a dog relief area or play area.

10CynthiaPosted on: 9-19-2025

The location is convenient. Easy access to everything. The room was clean and comfortable. Having a sitting area to relax in was nice. The bathroom was gorgeous! Communication with the owners was great.

No problems.

Cute room

AC didn't work well, took until after midnight to cool below 72, frustrating when it was cooler outside. We finally just put the fan on and opened the bathroom window and door to keep the white noise ( noisy neighbors)

10BettyPosted on: 8-23-2025

The room was good sized and had a couch as well as a small table and chairs. The bed was very comfotable..

If you have trouble with stairs you would need a ground floor room as there is no elevator. It wasn't a problem for us. We loved the location too. It is across the street from a great bbq restaurant.

10JoePosted on: 8-21-2025

Our room was very modern and well furnished and very clean and organized. An excellent location close to fuel and food. Easy access on and off I-70.We would definitely stay here again.

We liked everything.

Didn't like anything about this place, rip off

-No staff on site for any needed assistance -No where to hang up clothing (2 hooks on wall) iron without ironing board-One dresser in livingroom-Tiny shower, sink without counter/1 small mirror, no towel racks(2 hooks on wall)-No mirrors, no desk-No ice machine or other amenities -No coffee maker, just a hot pot with instant coffee packs and 4 non-wrapped paper cups... service tray was filthy -Doors and handles black, never wiped down-Bed was like a soft mattress laid on wooden slat frame, no box spring for support... totally weird... had hairs in sheets-No cable (Roku TV)-No check in or check out, code is sent via text, last 4 digits of your phone number...so no need for the front office or lobby. It's under construction...-Doormat to room never swept...full of dog hair and gross debris, weeds and trash on sidewalk/parking lot.-Saw one fire extinguisher last inspected July of 2023...it's now Aug of 2025!I FEEL TOTALLY RIPPED OFF, cancellation policy has to be 3 days prior to reservation/no refund if booked thru 3rd party, plus $25 cancellation fee. I had a room reserved for 2 nights and couldn't stomach it after 1 night... there's $468 wasted. Went to a different hotel, left without a word...who do you complain to, there's no one there at all!

The room was very comfortable and loved the two recliners for watching TV. It was very convenient to restaurants, bars and shops. Loved the door code instead of keys!

The hotel accepts pets, but the grassy area around the hotel is very overgrown and a bit trashy. There is a park (Cooper Park) about 1/2 a mile on the opposite side of the street, near the river that is a good place to go, but a bit of a long walk before bed and first thing in the morning -- wish there was just a better patch of grass nearby.

We’re walkers so the location was great for us. Easy 15 minute walk to the center of town. Parking right out front and easy access to the highway.

We stayed in Room 3. I think being on the 2nd floor might have more road noise from the highway. Didn’t bother us, but if you’re sensitive to noise, I’d suggest a room on the first floor. Also, if you’re expecting something posh, this isn’t it. Perfectly adequate.

Uplift Inn's Room 9 is spacious and modern with a large balcony. Very beautiful decor and excellent air conditioning that kept the room nice and cool during a heat wave of 90 degree temperatures. Lots to do nearby, lots of places to eat at!
