We spent over 2 weeks there. The staff was very helpful & courteous. Over all it was a greay stay. They are pet friendly too with a resonable pet fee. They provided everything we needed & they were very kind & considerate.

My son and I have been traveling halfway across the country, and we have stopped at many hotels along the way. If they could have all been like Big Spring Inn, the trip would have been even better. It is located right off the highway and nearby everything you need, plenty of restaurants, gas stations, and even a major grocery store just another exit up the road. In fact the hill it is on is beautiful and provides a great view. It's quiet and private, but still feels safe. The room itself was great. Clean, spacious, and complete with TV and plenty of channels, large fridge/freezer combo, and large and comfortable bed. You can see that it has been updated recently, everything looks modern and not aged. The bathroom is very clean and the water pressure is excellent. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We left to take care of business during the day and came back to a clean, tidied up room. Last but not least, the price was unbeatable. Along the trip, I paid over 50% more for an itchy bed in a seedy part of downtown in a big city, and twice as much for an admittedly nice room somewhere else that I only used for a quick overnight sleep. My stay is 3 nights in total and I may in fact need another night to take care of my business here in town. If I return one day, I'm staying here without a doubt. Highly recommend Big Spring Inn.

Nice rooms, clean place to stay, affordable price. Does require $50 cash damage deposit, but that's refunded at checkout. Great place to stay if you're on a budget.

So I wasn't expecting much when I booked the room for the weekend and even kept my reservation 30 mins away just incase it was horrible. I work for a name brand hotel and 1 of only 5 star resorts in my state. Big springs surprised me. I had a non smoking room , it was clean, it had been remodeled with new fixtures and bath room faucet, showers, and it was clean! (I'm not sure who did the remodel because they can't cut a straight line), but it was still done and clean. The soap was better than I expected and thankfully the towels were clean and big enough to wrap my body in without it being see-through. The beds were firm but not thin or with springs out of it. The room was cool in the horrible heatwave . the refrigerator was clean and cool. It was nicer than I was expecting. The gentleman checking me in was nice and their pop and snacks were even cheap. I canceled my other hotel 30 miles away. No this isn't a 5 Star but it isn't a trash place either. Worth the money, get a non smoking room, and smoke outside.

The rooms are super clean and spacious. The shower is absolutely amazing. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is housekeeping could come more often, but it was not a big deal. Would stay again happily.

Clean and maintained. We were traveling and pulled off later in the evening to find a last minute place to stay. After reading reviews we decided to give this hotel a try..... GLAD WE DID! The owner greeted us and went out of his way to get us a room. He only had a handicaped room left with a larger bed but since it was later in the evening he agreed to let us use that room so that we would be comfortable. The room was clean and well maintained. It is obviously an older hotel - but they have done a good job with doing updates and maintaining things so that I felt SAFE and comfortable in the room. The bed could be upgraded, but for the price it was great. All linens were clean and in good shape. The only reason for less than 5 stars is the lighting issue. The main room, closet and bathroom lights are ALL switched on ONE switch. So middle of the night bathroom breaks turns on ALL 3 lights. We sleep with the TV on, so I was able to use the glow from the TV with leaving the door cracked to navigate - if the owner figured out an independent light in the bathroom I would have given 5 stars! Great place for the price!

TL;DR Worth the money but don't expect the Hilton All in all this is a very good mom and pop roadside motel. The rooms have been renovated within the past few years, cleanliness is good if not great, everything functions, and nothing is noisy. The mattress is thin and soft but still comfortable to me, and I prefer a firm mattress. I have sciatica and it didn't bother that. It was actually very comfortable despite being thin. I could hear my neighbors either in their room or outside last night I'm not sure which, but it was quiet overnight. The toilet of the bathroom flushed like it should, and did not continue running. The tub drained normally and water pressure in the shower was okay. Not great but not lacking. The only issue was the shower head comes out of the wall at about the 5 ft mark, so you've got to bend down or shower sitting down if you're over 6 ft like me. That's really the only criticism I have about the whole place. Check in with friendly, parking was easy, I would come again.
