Girl at front desk wasn't present. First room was super hot, smelled sour had dust and dirt under the bed just past the broom sweep. Very outdated and broken furniture and the sink wouldn't drain and black stuff came up. The shampoo and other containers were not sealed, this is a concern. Lamp shade looked like a crime scene with splatter on it. Over all we were shocked. We walked to front desk to complain about the sink not draining and we were moved to another room. This was at almost 9pm. A charger was accidentally left in first room and nobody was at front desk and the emergency number on the door said wait until next day! Next day person at front desk gave my partner the MASTER key card to enter our previous room to get charger. This is some sort of safety breach I would imagine. I don't like complaining like this but we would never ever recommend The Willow Bend to anyone. The front desk person told me partner to leave a good review! YIKES! Paid $140.... worth $35
Dead bugs and general filth, something was moving.  I pushed them into the corner with tissue
Hole in wall.  I have video of sink not draining that I couldn't add.

The only bad thing about the hotel was our room had a very strong smoke smell, but the room itself was clean. The lady at the front desk was nice and friendly

I payed $30 for what was supposed to be a more accessible room only to find the door to the bathroom was 24 inches (actual entry 22.5" wide). My wife had to turn her walker side ways to get in and needed my assistance as there were no hand rails near the lower than standard toilet. We will never stay there again.

Pretty good. Second stay there in a week. Not sure why they have power outages in that particular small area. First stay was a power outage later in the evening for nearly 2 hours, second stay power was out upon arrival but was restored shortly after. (both times WERE NOT THE FAULT OF THE PROPERTY). I'm thinking just poor luck timing

Just wanting a place to stay overnight and this was all that was needed. Wish they had eggs for breakfast. But price was right!

I've always been a big fan of this motel. Staying many times through the years. Most recent stay I see they switched from keys to key cards which seemed fine but odd there is no additional lock on the door. It was surprising and perhaps just the one room I was in but I would suggest that's a big need for guests to feel safer. Still would plan a visit in the future.

4/10

Had high expectations given the other very positive reviews, but two things significantly impacted my stay and I feel are important to address: 1. There is no way to lock the door from the inside of the room (no deadbolt, no chain, not even a regular lock). When I noticed this I asked the front desk as I said I was uncomfortable. She said she would look into it and ask housekeeping. They said that there was no other rooms available but that none of their rooms had this feature, and I should be assured all doors automatically locked and could only be opened from inside or with a key. I have never stayed anywhere where this was the case. 2. The power bar in the room that the TV was plugged into shorted out 3 times during the night, causing a loud noise and once, a spark. I had nothing plugged into it, and was already on edge as there was no deadbolt on door. I didn’t want to fiddle with it in the middle of the night.
