The Joy Motel has a very fancy website to lure you in. Once you get there though you find the place should have been updated several times throughout the years. Old stinky carpet, moth holes in the curtains, burns in the sheets and doors that weren't real secure. Could be a neat place if the owners would spend a little... more

I came to the Joy motel not knowing what to expect.I was put into a room on the second floor because the 1st was sold out.When I got into my room I saw a back door as well as A front door.The back led to a balcony where you can sit over looking the woods.The next morning I walked out... more

While you may not care for the rooms, they aren't plush and as maintained as modern hotels, you have to love the delicious pancakes in the lobby every morning, the smores by the bonfire in the evening, the clean pool, and the staff.

First, we called the 800 many times without any answer. Finally after the 5 or 6 time, we finally got a girl on the line who was not friendly at all. However, we liked the website, but very dishonest. Room was very dirty and smelled moldy. In the morning, office loked up with no one around; meaing no coffee or... more

Stayed at the Joy Motel for two nights in June 2007. Along was the very pregnant wife and 5 & 6 year old boys. When we found the website and booked was looking for something other than a chain motel and chose the Joy. Easy enough to find along US 62. A storm had just been through and there was... more
