South Wind Inn

What guests think

At South Wind Inn, travelers consistently highlight friendly, accommodating owners, clean rooms, and very comfortable beds at a budget price, while noting the property is older, simple, and best suited for a short overnight stop.

Cleanliness is often rated highly, though some guests report musty odors, stained or rough linens, pests, or rooms that feel worn. Rooms are comfortable but dated, with occasional maintenance or HVAC issues and inconsistent Wi-Fi; several guests also found the beds unusually high and note minimal amenities. The location on the main highway is convenient for travelers, close to restaurants and Dorothy's House, and the parking is well lit. Expect a simple stop aimed at restful sleep rather than amenities.

I’m female traveling with my dog and wanted someplace SAFE AND CLEAN. And affordable- I don’t much care about aesthetics anymore. South Wind Inn is exactly that. The couple that runs it is extremely friendly and accommodating. The ice machine was very convenient and has all the ice you could need. I dropped ice water on the floor shortly after I went into the room and when I wiped it up with a white paper towel, the paper towel was still white when I finished. I like that kind of clean. I don’t care that the nightstand is from the 80s. And I loved the soft cotton mint green sheets! Very comfortable bed also…

This was an interesting experience. The property is quite old and there needs to be some significant investment to make it something that would be considered updated by today's standards. It's an old motel so you park right outside of your room. I've been on the road for about 6 weeks now all over the country and I'm starting to like that feature. As far as what happens once you get to your room, everything is fine. The bed was comfortable, the A/C was great, the bathroom was clean and the internet connection was stable and quick. No complaints for what they can control on an operational level. It does need to be updated, though. Many won't like how old it is.

From check-in with a jovial host, to check-out from a smiling, eager staff, this was an unexpectedly nice stop on our long journey home. It is an older property but you can see they work hard to keep it nice. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I had a very pleasant night's sleep. This is well worth stopping at for the night. Great value for the money.

Yes, the room was a bit worn and dated BUT it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The wi-fi was faster than my wi-fi at home. I asked for quiet and I got quiet. When I struggled with my room key (I always struggle with those scan things!), I looked up and the owner/husband (I think) ran right over to help me. And I really appreciated having a fan too!

We loved the comfort of the beds, the price and location 2 yrs ago. But this year going back there was a sub clerk at the front desk who looked over our reservation for 2 queen bed room and first tried to put us in a single bed room and then moved us to 2 bed room but a short elder person like myself could not get on the very high bed without getting a boost from a chair! That was not a problem when we last stayed there 2 and 3 yrs ago.

When I first checked in I was downgraded from a king room that I booked to a queen, “because I was by myself” according to the clerk that checked me in. The room was old with cracked walls. It was barely big enough to house the queen bed and a small table. The bathroom was tiny and had a small stand up shower. The shower leaked into the wall area and the tile was separated from the floor. There was no hot water when I woke up the first morning there. I took a cold shower. When I got back into the room that evening the water was hot so I took a shower that night just in case the hot water didn’t work the next morning. Sure enough… the next morning the water was cold again. Do they turn off the hot water heaters at night?? All in all a miserable experience and I would just as soon pop a tent in a campground with an out house as stay in this hotel again.

You get what you pay for, and although it was mostly clean, it needed basic upkeep and maintenance. My complaint was that housekeeping knocked in the door at 8:30am on a Saturday!!!! We checked in with a dog and the desk person asked if our dog was smelly or dirty, before she would give us the room we had prepaid for. Seemed silly.

Was quoted a fair price up front, paid online and was non refundable. The description said they were pet friendly but didn’t mention any extra charges. When I arrived I was told it would an extra $20 for 2 small dogs. I was looking at another hotel that didn’t charge for pets but I wasn’t able to cancel and go to the other place since I already paid. They weren’t about to make things right because they knew I was stuck and wanted my money. The final charges should have been disclosed up front, especially since it was non refundable. Won’t be back, too deceptive and poor service. The place is kind of dumpy.

We were happy with our overnight stay at the South Wind Inn. It was clean, safe, and pretty quiet considering it was on the main highway through town. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and the area was safe. It checked all the boxes for our needs. It is a stone's throw from Dorothy's house from the Wizard of Oz, for those that are into that kind of thing.

The unique and quirky nature of the rooms was kind of fun, and the price was affordable. Everything worked in terms of appliances and fixtures, and it was all spotless. The proprietor (I'm guessing) made check-in pretty easy, but he must have asked me at least six times in the space of three minutes if we had any dogs or cats with us (we didn't). And the free breakfast consisted of some coffee, hot water for tea, and a couple of pastries, so if you are a breakfast person, try the Pancake House across the street. The property is probably around 60-70 years old, and even though it's been kept up, it's tangibly aging. If you are looking for sleek and modern, look elsewhere, but for a safe, clean place to spend a night on the road, it's a good value.

the south wind was an ok hotel. it was clean and the beds comfy. it really needs updating. the woman at the front desk was reluctant to give us a couple of extra towels but there were 3 woman staying in the room and we need extra towels. (the towels were very thin). the price was low which was a plus. no breakfast served. probably wouldn't stay again.

There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room. A coffee maker would be most welcome! The owners were very friendly and helpful. When a clean, comfortable, basic room is what you're looking for, this is perfect! We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
