Not everyone can say that they have trekked across the vast good 'ole USA on a cross-country trip…read more Well my little booty can say I have: twice in fact. Once taking northern route from Ohio through states like Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada and now the southern route along historic Route 66 (currently US 44). This trip began in Chicago before concluding in Los Angeles and started at about 6pm which meant driving through St. Louis and deciding to stop for the night around midnight. Where was the stop? Budget Deluxe Motel in Rolla, Missouri. Where the heck is Rolla, Missouri you ask? I can't answer that. It's the middle of nowhere near the Ozarks at the intersection of US 44 (route 66) and 63. Nestled by a gas station and the freeway; Budget Deluxe Motel is literally a roadside roof over the heads of travelers but certainly not a destination spot. The reason we decided to stay the night at this establishment was merely because we were exhausted and the attendant at the gas station said "You can get away with more at this motel. Less cops ". Not sure what that means except that maybe the hotel across the street has prostitutes and drug busts? Lord knows. Either way, we were famished and just wanted a bed. Walking into the main office is like walking into a hillbilly throwback. This place genuinely feels like the South and is terribly outdated. The front desk woman (Budget Deluxe is family-owned and maintained); announced that they had one room available on the first floor with double beds. This would be $39.95 plus $5 per adult. Yeah, they charge per adult. One can pretty much tell from the exterior of this motel what to expect on the inside... No bells or whistles... But I was even more disappointed than I would have thought. Budget Deluxe has old-school physical keys (not the plastic door keys) to rooms and I opened it with difficulty. Literally, because the carpet is up against the bottom of the door and inhibits smooth opening. Once I used my gym -strengthened arms to push through; my eyes gazed upon a room that looked straight out of 1979 but I suppose it is 1982 when the motel was built. This place has late 70s/80s furnishings, an old large tube TV that people throw away at curbs, and a sink counter that looks straight out of a jail cell. There is an old microwave, old small coffee maker, and a mini-fridge, though. The bathroom of Budget Deluxe is sort of what did me in to more disgust. The cramped quarters features a toilet which ran and there was... wait for it... pubic hair on the floor and in the shower! Um, what?! Don't they wash/clean this place?! Thank God I had travel Lysol spray. The mattress was actually suitably comfortable but I was awoken in the morning to construction at the gas station and loud banging from upstairs. Not the most pleasant wake up call. At the 11am checkout, I returned the keys to the motel staff whom were actually kind and friendly. But I couldn't get out fast enough. So what's the conclusion about Budget Deluxe? If you are exhausted and want to spend minimal bucks for a roof over head and don't care about outdated amenities and pubic hair... then Budget Deluxe is your place. It's literally just that: a roof over your head as I was too grossed out to even shower here. Otherwise, perhaps you should travel onwards to the next stop.

0 stars if I could…read more TRAVELERS & TOURISTS, BEWARE - AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT. The lack of communication and respect is unacceptable. Before booking, read the reviews on Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor--you'll see we are not the first to experience this. Three weeks ago, my son-in-law called and spoke directly with Michele Broxton, the owner, regarding full-time opportunities while moving from California to Missouri. She was friendly and helpful, guaranteed him a spot when ready at a monthly rate of $595 or three months in advance at a discounted rate of $1,500, and then completely ghosted him. For the next two weeks, he tried calling, texting, and emailing repeatedly to confirm the deposit for placement. Meanwhile, trusting her guarantee and the availability of openings, he secured employment starting in March and arranged RV transport, paying over $2,500 for delivery to Ozark Farms on February 24, 2026. Being from Missouri and familiar with the area, I got involved because I know it's a great state to raise a family--but based on Ozark Farms' website, this experience was anything but welcoming. I called to check if there had been a communication error and found two additional numbers still routing to Michele Broxton. I called, texted, and emailed every single one, hoping someone would respond--no one ever did. Finally, after numerous attempts, someone answered at 5:30 PM California time / 7:30 PM Missouri time. I believe it was Michele Broxton. When I asked if this was Ozark Farms, the response was, "How can I help you?" I explained the urgency and asked if I was speaking with Michele Broxton--she refused to answer and stated she needed to speak only with the person signing the agreement. When I requested to merge the call with my son-in-law, she refused. Throughout the call, she acknowledged the urgency in a somewhat caring tone--but gave no apologies, no explanation, and would not confirm her identity. She stated she would review communications to "ensure nothing was lost in translation." It doesn't matter who I spoke with--this person is a representative of Ozark Farms and the face of the company to customers. Despite being polite and professional, the lack of respect and transparency was shocking. Only after persistent follow-ups did she finally contact my son-in-law--and not by phone or text, but via an email at 9:30 PM PST / 11:30 PM Missouri time, declining his reservation four hours after our call. We will never recommend or patronize Ozark Farms. They advertise as a "caring, family-run business," but offer zero communication or transparency. Relocating to a new state is a huge financial and personal commitment. Prospective tenants deserve honest communication, clarity, and follow-through--things Ozark Farms failed to provide.

Not Ideal for Tent Campers…read more My husband and I stopped here for one night while passing through town and were unfortunately disappointed with our stay. We tent camp, and the setup was not very tent-friendly. The sites were on a hill with inconvenient parking -- we had to haul our gear quite a distance to reach our spot. Our site did have water and electricity, which was a plus, but the overall layout made it difficult to enjoy. While the campground was generally well maintained and offered flush toilets, free showers, and a laundry facility, those amenities were not conveniently located near the tent camping area. Noise was also an issue: there's a train that runs nearby during the night, constant highway traffic, and chickens that crow loudly right next to the campsites. Check-in was confusing. No staff were onsite to assist, upon arrival no map or parking pass was provided, and signage was unclear. We received an email the day before with basic info, but the lack of clear directions made arrival frustrating. Overall, this campground may work better for RV travelers, but for tent campers, it felt disorganized and poorly designed. We wouldn't choose to stay here again.
