I love Bar-Mel! It has been around for many years, so don't expect fancy, but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. The staff is awesome. A young man named Mo helped me with the tv remote when I couldn't find the volume button. I must have had a senior moment! He was so kind and even gave me a big hug!

I was amazed to find adjustable beds in this quaint motel. I could see the updates and improvements that were installed into this unassuming small town location. Pleasantly surprised.

Second time here. Convenient locale for a local bicycle race. Don't need anything fancy, just clean and cheap.

The host, Peter was outstanding. He was best part of entire stay. Beds were confortable. Shower was barely ok. kinda noisy because so close totalking loudly highway. First night stay was bad. 3 truck loads of mexican construction workers stayed outside their rooms talking loudly until 1AM. No phones in room.

You have to remember this is a mom and pop place and so for the price point this was a good place. We were there for the bluegrass festival and our other options were more expensive or much farther away. As such the place is in need of an update and did provide the necessities. It met our needs. McCormick is just a few miles down the road and we can recommend the Little Italy restaurant and the Huddle House.

They have not refunded my deposit and their telephone number is nonexistent and i live in another state and cannot just drop by. What is the reason they are rated an 8 on your ratings?

This property was a horrendous place. Why would Expedia even allow this property on their system. I have been using this service for several years and I’m completely shocked they would even consider listing this place. When we arrived to the property with the gravel parking lot which is no big deal but there were people cooking on a fire on the ground. Not great but I understand trying to be economical. I stopped at the office and when I went inside the office was a complete wreck no one was there and the counter was covered in old receipts and other papers piled up and it was just badly cluttered. A young man came to the door and ask if I had a reservation. I said yrs he ask me to step outside and wait while he called is boss on a cell phone that the screen was so cracked he couldn’t see who he was dialing. I had a great deal of trouble understanding when talked. Because I have a very high level of sensitivity to tobacco smoke I had trouble standing close enough to him to carry on a conversation. After talking with Alice we decided to go somewhere else. The property did not look or feel safe. I had hoped to get a refund but I’m sure I will not.

Dirty, broken down and worn out everything. The AC clattered a death rattle and I barely slept - woke at 3:30 to the noise. Needs basic maintenance and a renovation. No top sheet, had to go back and ask manager for it. He launched into an explanation.

Ordered a double queen over a week in advance, called two days before arrival to verify the reservation. During the call i told him we would be 930 or possibly later, was told no problem. Arrived around 10 PM, was told our reservation had been canceled since we didn't arrive by 10PM. Had to turn around and find another room that night. Won't book again.

Had a resveration price, he did not honor, increased the cost $15.00 per nite. Room was never cleaned, two towels for two people. Carpet is over 30 years old. Was told I get a &20.00 refund on checking out, never happen. Next time I’ll drive the 30 miles to the next hotel. If you looking for a really poor hotel, this is it. The owner can hardly speak English. Really do not under any reason stay there
