Honestly, this place is a dive. And that's all there really is to say. Yes, it's cheap, but there are reasons why. more

We should have known when we entered the room. The moldy smell was incredible and was verified by the wall paper peeling from the walls and the almost squishy feel of the carpet. The air conditioner was loud, but had to be run at high speed to overcome the humidity. The breakfast bar was ok but unimpressive. On the plus... more

This hotel has the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on in a hotel! Entire hotel was very clean & comfortable with a staff that was really friendly. The breakfast has a huge variety of items. Great place to stay! more

Heartland Inn claims to have pillow top mattresses, my room had a bed I would call Plywood top. It was not a pillow top, it was the hardest bed I've ever slept on. (I should say attempted to sleep on.) When I checked out, I mentioned it to the desk clerk. She insisted they have Serta pillow top beds, mine... more

Great value!

I checked around for rates and ended up staying at the Heartland Inn. It was a lot nicer than I expected. The rooms had queen-sized beds instead of doubles, with pillow-top mattresses. They told me everything was newly remodeled. Also, the breakfast was huge with waffles and biscuits and gravy. I got a great deal and will stay at Heartland... more

Had a bad experience with Heartland Inn in the past but thought I would give them another try ... but twice is enough! It seems alittle on the dirty side with a musty/stale smell in the room. Went to get a extra pillow at 9:00 PM but was told there were none! Breakfast was suppose to last until 10:00 AM... more
