Bob here, the rubber duck who’s just ventured out into the world to find some fun and adventure. Recently, I had the pleasure of soaking up the charm at Audrey’s Motel in Missouri, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience!
The delightful duo of Hank and Mary own and operate Audrey’s Motel. Their passion for hospitality shines through every nook and cranny of this cozy establishment. It’s evident they’ve put their heart and soul into creating a welcoming atmosphere for all guests, and as a rubber duck who knows a thing or two about comfort, I can appreciate that!
Now, let’s talk about the cleanliness of the lobby and the rooms. I must say, I was highly impressed! The rooms were sparkling clean — no dust bunnies in sight! It was as if they were polished just for me. I felt right at home as I floated around the bathroom sink. They prioritize cleanliness here, which makes for a comfortable and pleasant stay, whether you’re a human or a rubber duck.
Speaking of pleasant experiences, the friendliness of the owners is truly unmatched. Hank and Mary greet guests with smiles and warmth, instantly making you feel like part of the family. They’re always down for a chat or to share interesting stories and local tips, which makes for a cozy, homey experience. Their genuine kindness extends to everyone; you can feel the love and care they pour into their motel, making you feel welcomed and at home.
One of the standout features of Audrey’s Motel is the unique room dedicated to John Deere tractors! Now, I may not be a tractor, but the decor in that room is truly something to quack about. From Deere-themed artwork to bedspread patterns that would make any farmer proud, it’s a perfect homage to the beloved green machines. If you’re a fan of tractors — or want to experience something truly unique — this room is a must-visit!
Hank is a long-time motorcycle enthusiast, so as you can imagine, riders are a welcome addition to their clientele. If you pull in on a motorcycle, an ice-cold beer will greet you at check-in, and Frank will pull his Harley out and even act as a local tour guide around Mound City if he has time. There is no end to the riding stories that Hank has to share.
I can’t forget to give a special shout-out to Hank and Mary’s dedication to veterans. Hank is a disabled American veteran who swells with pride for the United States and his contributions to freedom. They go above and beyond to honour others who have served our country. From special discounts to walls adorned with memorabilia celebrating their service, they have a heart for veterans. As a rubber duck who loves freedom, I truly admire their commitment to giving back to those who protect it.
Audrey’s Motel is a gem in Missouri that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a delightful stay. With its immaculate rooms, rider support, charming John Deere theme, respect for veterans and owners on site to share their many passions, this little motel has it all. So, if you find yourself quacking around Missouri, check in at Audrey’s — you won’t regret it!
