Fountain Inn

This independently owned/operated motel looks a bit sketchy. It shows its age and obviously, at the prices charged, a lot of maintenance has been deferred through the years. The rooms are small and slightly claustrophobic, but the windows open and I felt quite safe leaving the front door ajar while I spent time in the room. Like many of the these old down in the heels mom & pops, the motel is inhabited by a lot of itinerate workers who gather outside and chat. They know each other. They are not crooks or criminals, they are just hard working Americans, trying to get by, so don't be put off by their presence. I won't lie. There was an unmistakable heavy smell in the room, but it was of delicious Indian spices, not of dirt, .mold, or funky shower curtains. The room was not the cleanest, however the sheets and towels were very clean. This place is worth a stay if you're on a budge. The location is perfect for an evening stroll through historic, downtown, Van Wert. Don't be shy, get to know Angie, the motel manager. She's an amazing and kind-hearted woman.

Old, rundown motel. NOT clean, seriously. You could see visible dust on top of TV stand and on the floor under the desk. We had prepaid for two nights (foolish us) and only stayed the first night. First thing the next morning, we checked out and went to the local Comfort Inn. Do NOT waste your money. a campground would be cleaner.

I wasnt expecting much for the price and reviews . I'm pretty sure this place should be shut down! Tiny rooms. Dirty dirty dirty. This is just a few of the pics. The bath rug was like that when I checked in. The stove, range and lights did not even work.. the bed was not washed. Floors weren't even vacuumed. After check in the lady closed so I couldn't even complain if I wanted to. No phone in room. Fridge was dirty even . Looked like blood on the shower curtain.
