I stayed a few nights at this motel recently and the people were friendly and it was pretty comfortable place. Sonic is right next to the building and Walmart is a minute drive away. The bathroom is not the cleanest out there but the rest of the room is decent. The wall is rather thin but I never had trouble... More

Stopped at this little "Rustic" place after driving for 9 hours. The pungent, very strong curry odor when I stepped into the lobby to inquire about rooms should have tipped me off to what we would encounter with a room here. Looking at the motel we knew it was an older place however that should not be an excuse for... More

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that the smell of curry emanating from the kitchen located behind the Front Desk had you having pre conceived notion of what type of room you would expect! About the carpet edges never been cleaned, we are sorry that you experienced that but we usually get our carpets washed and deep cleaned... More

My husband works in Rolla, however for a while we are living a distance away so he has to have a place to stay on some weeknights. This motel has been wonderful. It is clean and comfortable. He has a microwave and a small refrigerator which is awesome for him. The staff is friendly and when he is able to... More

I was helping some friends move from Marshall, Illinois to OKC...we got off to a late start and decided to at least get past St. Louis before we stopped for the night. My friend looked up hotels online and found the Rustic Motel advertising rooms for $35/night (http://secure.rezserver.com/hotel/?refid=2551&rs_hid=18069004). Unfortunately, the rates were considerably higher when we arrived. We didn't have... More

We thank you for the review. You were made aware that the room with 2 double beds was priced at $49.99 and since you had 2 dogs with you , we charged you $5.00 pet fee for each dog and that brought your room rate to $59.99 and we added tax of $6.51 giving a total amount of $66.50. And... More

Unfortunately, my ministry travel has not taken me by way of Rolla recently. I miss my little home away from home, and the outstanding hosts Bob and Vina Desai. The hosts do indeed go out of their way to make a weary traveler feel as if they are guests in the personal home of Bob and Vina. The owners/managers are... More

This motel is a throwback to the old school mom and pop motels of the 60s and 70s. It looks like it too. Not much to look at. The room was average, with a kind of homey feel to it. A number of items located in the rooms that you wouldn't expect, but you might see in someone's house. It... More

Yes it's true that the Rustic is an older motel, but we take pride in offering a "homely" atmosphere to all our guests. We are sorry that the guests above your room kept you awake but if you would have called the front office we could have requested those guests to quieten down. We thank you for your review and...

I thank you for your comments.

Comments like yours makes our efforts in pleasing our guests worthwhile. We try our best to please all our guests while operating a motel built in the late Sixties, and there are times when some are not happy with their stay and post comments that are truly unfair to us. We look forward to you revisiting us in the future. More

We thought we'd save a buck and stay at a kitschy local place. We didn't mind at all the older (like70's era) features - part of the charm, right? But after we got into bed I saw a BUG on my pillow, jumped up, and saw one on my husband's shirt and another on our toddler's pillow. We got a... More
