Gray Plaza Motel Benton

A few rooms have been cleaned up a little bit, but most of them still need quit a bit of work. Each time I'm there it seems they're working on at least one room, updating I hope. The average room has old, worn, mismatched furniture, air conditioners that take a long time to work, stained sticky carpets, bathrooms that need attention and old dingy drapes that need to be replaced. I don't recall seeing any bugs, though, and I've stayed there at least 4 or 5 times in the last year while traveling. I'm really not sure why I keep going back. I think it's because it's right off of the exit ramp, parking is a breeze and the office is extremely easy to see and enter. There's also no halls, stairs or elevators. You just pull right up to your room. When I'm really tired from driving, it's my go-to b

The first thing I said out loud to myself as I rode up to this place on my motorcycle was "What did I get myself into". It looks like the kind of place that drug deals happen. With the abandoned gas station in the same parking lot and dilapidated appearance, this place COULD be very nice and kitschy, with its 1940's feel. Instead it is run down, falling apart and unmaintained. Peeling paint in the rooms, walls patched with plywood, bath tiles put in place with caulk (and very badly I might add), dodgy air conditioning, questionable electrical work, outdated and mismatched furniture, old mildewy carpet, potholed parking area and questionable residents(???). The only thing I will give this place is this: The Shower was good. The Bed was clean, comfortable and bed bug free. The WiFi was grea

I had been driving for 12 hours and couldn't take much more. I thought it would be a cheap motel and I could just get some rest. Unfortunately this place has long term questionable residents. The rooms are extremely worn and dated. Wifi doesn't work. The showers are not clean. The carpet is stained. The beds are dirty and low quality. I would only suggest staying here if you have no other choice. It was wild I paid almost $100 for that bad of a room. The staff seemed to be annoyed I showed up at dark and I figured it wasn't worth the effort to even confront them.

We tried to find a room for hours, literally everything was booked from past st Louis to here. We came across this place at 130 am and after 17 hours of driving, it was a welcomed stop. |The hotel was old and on the sketchy side. The floor was dirty and I didn't feel comfortable walking without my shoes on. The mattress wasnt comfortable and looked to be 30 years old but after a bed bug check, all was clear. The sheets were clean and we had no other issues. We crashed for 5.5 hours, checked out and got on the road again. If you are in my situation, this will do in a pinch but otherwise I would keep looking.

I recommend staying here, the room is affordable for 2 beds, the room was very clean, restroom clean hot water, cold a/c, beds and pillow very comfortable i didn't want to get up, and most important thing the t.v remote worked. I stayed in 3 motels 3 nights before i stayed at Gray plaza to save my company money by far this place was worth it. The 2 females working the counter were nice and helpful with any questions i had.
