The service was ok. The room shape was cool but so dirty, grimy, & stinky that you couldn't enjoy the uniqueness of the room. Filthy walls, carpet, ceiling, shower fixtues, & burns in the carpet. The bed was about the only clean thing in the room & it was comfortable. The location was good. They had a decent breakfast.

While I stayed there, flags in front of the hotel were at half-mast. It was the next month after that deadly tornado destroyed the city.
I went to Joplin for joining disaster volunteer activity and attended to clean up debris for two weeks. It was difficult for me to find economy hotel, but Sleep Inn was final one, I could fortunately cut down the expenses during my stay. It seem the farthest distance that I could go to and from volunteer site before and after working by bicycle.

The receptionists were so friendly, kind and helpful as to offer me to keep the bicycle in a strage inner hotel. Every time I went through in front of reception, they gave me smiles.

The room seemed like American size, single occupied double bed was enough large and comfortable for me. Amenity goods were various.

The location is nearby an interchange of Interstate 44, I felt energy of U.S. physical distribution. The hotel is nearby truck stops, for people who like watching various colored trailers, it will be great location, great many trucks come and go all through the day. Watching Google satellite maps, it could be easily found that many trucks form in orderly lines in the truck stops, even oil spots on the parking lots are clear.
One day a friend of mine who saw me to the hotel said about the atmosphere around there as very American.

I went out to restaurant "Iron Skillet" next to the hotel, enjoyed fresh salad bar my fill every evening. After came back from volunteer site before taking shower, it became my custom to drink a large glass of tomato juice for cooling down of up-hill biking.
The restaurant is situated in "Petro Stopping Centers", I could obtain everything at the same time of meal. Though the location of the hotel is very suburb but I had absolutely no inconvenience.

Basic for CLC . No frig or micro, but attached to Joplin 44 Petro.

Petro restaurant typical below average food.

Rained all weekend so we didnt get out to see anything. Were glad to leave. Would opt for Candlewood next time probably, but this worked for short stay.

An older hotel, but fairly clean. Even though I stayed in a non-smoking area, walking down the hallway to my room I could smell the stench of nasty cigarette smoke, however I didn't smell it in the room. Actually had a flat screen TV.
