Very dated hotel that was expensive for the lack of a maintenance and only 1 bed. Leaky toilet all over the bathroom floor and the water ran all night. We would not recommend this establishment nor would we stay there again.

Old fashioned hotel, clean, conveniently located near major attractions. Microwave/ refrigerator in room, very helpful since the area does not have good number of decent restaurants. Pilot knob is a little rural area with breathtaking views.

Nice property
Came in for a short family trip. Room was clean but AC is not able to keep up with cooling room and room smells a lot like a musty basement.

It’s pilot knob…
It’s Pilot Knob, so you don’t expect too much. The room was ok, but the A/c has a hard time keeping the whole room cool. The staff was nice and they are trying to keep the place as nice as they can. Biggest complaint was the pillows were hard as a rock.

The host and hostess were so friendly and helpful. While the rooms are a bit dated, they are CLEAN and NEAT! There was plenty of room for our family in the family suite. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean. It was close to Johnson’s Shut-Ins and Elephant Rock State Park. I would stay there with my family again!

Comfortable Small Town Motel
To start, the staff at the desk was amazing. Unbelievably polite, helpful, smiles never left their faces. They were very welcoming. As others have stated, it is a bit dated, but considering we are talking about a very small town motel, we were very pleased. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, not much else I could ask for. Super close to Elephant rocks and quite a few other visits. The only negatives I could give it was the wifi is pretty bad, but coming from 4 days in the Shawnee forest, it was something. And do yourselves a favor if you're in the area, the folks at the front desk recommended the Town and County store down the street for breakfast. Get yourself some biscuits and gravy.

Nice hotel with friendly staff.
The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful with dining suggestions in the area. The room was comfortable and clean, except for the ceiling in the bathroom. There was a discoloration over the shower that may have been water damage or mold. The tub and the rest of the bathroom were extremely clean. We would stay here again.

The Hotel was in a very good location for what we needed. It was clean and at check in the managers were friendly. Only negative we had was they ran our card before we were expecting them to (we usually pay cash) and the Hotel itself was a little outdated. Also the little fridge and microwave combo didn’t work. We didn’t discover this till checkout day when we went to re-heat leftovers.

It was quiet, bed okay, but not best for side sleeping. The air conditioner was in sitting area not bedroom. There was a dirty makeup stained towel still on back of bathroom door, and behind low dresser in bedroom was an old lost pillow case and some packs of medication. The fridge was not very cold. Convenient location to state parks in the area.
