Rustic Motel Rolla

I live in Rolla and after the tornado hit rolla on Friday the power was out at the motel for at least 6 whole days the owners had a generator but the rest of the place including 4 children had no electric or hot water for a week no amenities and my friends in 235 who have lived there had to throw away 275 dollars worth of food they just bought the managers never checked on them it is illegal to live anywhere in Rolla without electric and hot water my friends were shy on their rent this month and the managers are being very rude wanting money they had to use to eat fast food with cause of the tornado they even rented dark rooms to people during that week.Im a concerned citizen and do not think breaking the law is OK for these business owners and they should have put the paid up customers in another hotel with electric and water but they didnt,this is not how you treat people and some concerned citizens plan on doing something about probably in court but those poor people's money need to be refunded for the nights they were without electric and hot water,I would definitely not recommend this motel to anyone.

I loved this motel. Like it's name says, it's older but it's really well maintained and the rooms are comfortable and give the feel of being ensconced in someone's home. When the owner, who also tends the front desk, welcomes you, it's like being welcomed into her home. It's clear the owners take great care in providing a comfortable, pleasant, and relaxing staying experience. Maid service was excellent as well, and optional; you could choose by day whether you wanted the service before the morning of.

I have stayed at 5 star resorts around the world. Nothing comes close to the friendly home town feel of the Rustic Motel. I have stayed here many times starting back in 1980 when I was in school at UMR/MSM! I do wish the pool was still open, but that is only for a few months a year anyway! Excellent menu options next door at Sonic (one of my all time favorite places) & 2nd best option in town since Zeno's closed (Maid Rite is a must visit also!) Thanks again for keeping this place top notch all these years! Can't wait for my next visit.
