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.  



Angie, the owner will treat you like one of her beloved children

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.

If we had not prepaid, we would not have stayed.

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. 

Horrible

The room itself was tiny and cramped, made worse by the full sized 1970’s stove blocking the entrance to the bathroom.  Cleanliness was questionable, and hot water seemed to be in short supply.  For what we paid, this room definitely missed the mark.  Pay the extra money and stay elsewhere.

The full sized avocado green 1970’s stove gave the room that special touch...

...is fibbing!!  The hotel is on the main street, so you hear all kinds of traffic, plus the 4 AM train that passes by.  At 7 AM, someone was mowing grass nearby.  Really???
The fixtures are very out of date, our sink faucet leaked all over, and the tub was surrounded by old caulk.
Go for Comfort Inn ( I do NOT work for Comfort) instead.  The ratings have to be fake.

Anyone who says this place is quiet...

I travelled to Van Wert with family and we had booked two rooms at the Fountain Inn based on the great reviews but when we arrived we were left wondering what motel people were actually reviewing.  We booked two rooms and each was supposed to have two king beds but when we arrived we were told that no such room exists.  We settled on two rooms with queen beds but the condition of the rooms had us question our choice.

First, the furnishings were beyond out of date, including beds, a full-sized kitchen stove and sink from the 1970s.  The bathroom did not look like a place where we would want to clean-up and when we saw the insect traps and the piles of dust we started looking for other lodging options.
