Top Carthage Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Carthage

8/10 Good

"The facility was in a strange location off of an access road. It was easy to park in however and offered a wide space for us with the camper attached to our truck. The first room that we got smelled like curry so strongly that my husband went back up to the desk to request a new room. They provided that and we were satisfied at that point. The area had a lot of dining options, a dollar general and a grocery store within walking distance as well. All in all I’d give it a 7/10"

Super 8 by Wyndham Carthage

8/10 Good

"We booked 3 rooms because the pics showed that they have been updated with laminate flooring. Carpet is a big no as I suffer from dust allergies. Our rooms were located on the 2nd floor & were not updated & all had carpet. There is also no elevator. I voiced my concerns to the staff regarding the outdated rooms as this is not what we saw online when we booked. The rooms are in the process of being updated, but have not reached the 2nd floor yet. Staff was very eager to move us to the 1st floor. The motel itself is older. Breakfast has a lot of improvement to be made yet. I have no doubt that once the motel is 100% renovated, that it will be a beautiful place as it has great bones and a great location. Again, the owners went above and beyond to assure that we were happy."
