Vivian Motor Hotel

My dad used to run this hotel in 1985, so i thought i would stay there for a bit of nostalgia. They forgot my reservation, so they didnt have a clean room for me until later in the evening. Its very dated and desperately needs an overhaul. It looks worse than it did in 85.. Lol. The restaurant next door has been replaced with vlts and the bar is basically another vlt area. Gone is the bar that rocked hard on the weekends. Now sad, older men and women just sit and hemorrhage their pension checks. On a positive note, the bed was surprisingly clean and very comfortable and the microwave and fridge is quite handy. The door lock on the door is only a push knob, bathroom-type lock, so security is not very good

Grocery stores are very close. Staff is very nice and helpful. Room was not so clean and the neighbor next door was very loud. Ok for 1 night stay.

Nothing…. 1) Had to pay $20 to make sure key returned but no staff on till 0945 am for monies to be returned. Did not feel comfy giving my visa # Customer behind me looked questionable. Staff member sweet but young. Had to call owner to find out cost of room and key deposit. Thus I lost the $20. Room # not clear on the keys. I had to ask the young staff member if I was safe staying there. 2) Motel disgusting. Questionable clean bedding/towels. Bed appeared to look slept in and towels had hand prints on them. 3) Noise all night (yelling, laughing, loud speaking up u til 5am) and no Motel staff to call. Did not feel safe confronting myself. 4) Shame on you ******* for recommending this site to anyone, no matter what the price! Now I understand why the reservation was non refundable. Learned my lesson. If I was so exhausted from driving 15 hours straight I would have found accommodations somewhere else.
