The parking is directly out front of the hotel. The checkin clerk Renee was wonderful. She checked us in easy and explained everything and was super nice and accommodating. We had a 26' moving truck as well as a trailer hitched. And they accommodated the space we needed for parking. It could have been because it was a slow day as I didn't see any spots specifically for tractor trailers but there is a lot and gas station and casino that we saw many tractor trailers resting at that is a one minute walk across the road. We were pleasantly surprised and the modern and obviously recent updates of the hotel. The shower pressure was amazing. My husband forgot to see if they had the name of the shower head. The bed was comfortable. The pillows were okay. The room was clean and modern. The bathroom was all new. We went to the park on the other side of the bridge and the Marshall memorial museum. We had dinner at the casino across the road. And we had breakfast from the diner on the other side of the parking lot. There was friendly police presence. Spoke with a couple of the officers during the last day who were super nice and friendly. The whole experience was much better than we could have imagined. I hope the owner gives Renee a raise and promotion. You don't find such hospitality like hers anymore. What a gem.
The bed was comfortable, room was clean- I loved not having carpet in the room!!! The room was well kept and looked beautiful. We make a point to stop there when we pass through that direction.
This was our second time staying at this facility and it was just as good as the first time. The entire staff is polite & accommodating. They allow pets ( with a daily fee & refundable deposit ) We will use this inn anytime we are staying overnight in the area.
The lady checking me in was so very disrespectful to me and my son this is unacceptable i would like a complete refund

Liked: Cleanliness
We stay at the Walnut Inn every time we travel on I-40. It is the perfect stopping point for us. They are pet-friendly and the rooms have been recently renovated. Being right next to the casino is nice too. No matter what time we arrive the casino grille is always open with incredible food. Service is very good as well.
Quick stay. Friendly and cute check in after midnight.

The place was quiet but not the cleanest. Doors and light switches have not been cleaned in a long time. It is located right of the freeway making it convenient.
Excellent Value! Large, comfortable room with everything I needed. (There was no hair dryer in the room but they gave me one to use for the duration of my stay when I asked) Immaculately clean.The bed was great. The room door opened to the outside instead of an interior hallway which I don't usually care for but I felt very safe here. A little road noise but not bad. I made two special requests at the time of booking and they were both met. Very attentive and eager to please staff. I will definitely stay again. Highly recommended
