Wonderful place! Super clean and very very friendly owner! You can tell that the lady that owns it definitely cares about this place and the guests. Laundry facility located in the back is the best looking laundry facility I've ever seen. I had my toddler with me so one of the important things to me besides cleanliness is the type of area the hotel is in and I had no issues with that here. No questionable looking characters lurking around all hours of the night or anything like that. My ONLY slight complaint was that one day about 4 in the morning there was a couple yelling and cursing at eachother outside my window which woke me up(I'm assuming they probably just had a long night or a little too much to drink) but it only lasted a few minutes and they got in their vehicle and left. Never had any other issues. I actually ended up leaving this hotel to go down to the super 8 hoping that there would be just a tad more room to put all of our things since it was myself, my husband, and our toddler. It had nothing to do with any disappointments at this one and while we did have a little more room it was definitely a downgrade and after 2 days at the super 8 my husband and I agreed we should've just stayed where we were because there was nothing really wrong. We recommend this place especially for the price which can't be beat! Wal-Mart and food restaurants just a few miles down the road.

I was just passing through Bolivar and it was late, stopped in to verify prices and I got a room for $47 with a king size bed which happened to be brand new, had a nice little fridge and microwave in the room,air conditioner worked very well. Soap and shampoo were provided. Clean bright white fluffy towels. Nice shower curtain, and clean floors. The only two things that I didn't like it is a tile floor, no rugs. And the water pressure / shower head doesn't have much power.
