The smoke detector was beeping throughout night probably due to low battery. I could not get to anyone till daytime and was told that nobody was available to fix it. I had to move to another room after I came back to the hotel late at night. Other than that it was fine.
Didn't like anything about property. Walked inside smelled like sewage. No housekeeping. So no new towels for in morning. Shower head was loose in shower. 2 wasps in the room. Looked more like an apartment complex than a hotel. Will NOT be back

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, but our room was dirty and hot. There was food and dirt in the floor, lights stains from cups still sticky on tables and toothpaste in the sink from previous occupant. It looked like maybe work was being done because there were pieces of wall on the floor in the hallways and it also kinda seemed like it was going under. No breakfast or Coffee, and that would have been fine m, but it was advertised to have it. Like I said, the staff was very friendly but I would never recommend someone to stay there
Every time when I need help I don’t see none staff

Good location.
Needs maintenance and employees to help out inside and clean up the parking lot for a better appearance.
They shouldn't let pickup & trailers take up the parking meant for cars. They have a gravel spot meant for them already.
The entry doors need attention. That is the first impression that you get when walking in the place!
The manager looks like he is shot from running around doing things. They need help and look more professional. First impression can be a bad thing or a good thing.
Breakfast area should be open! At least someone to make coffee! I've never stayed anywhere that they didn't offer COFFEE!
Check in was very easy and painless. Check in staff was friendly. Room was clean and my only issue was the water had to run quite some time before it got slightly warmer than tepid. I needed a HOT shower after 8 hours drive, ha! Our handicapped room on 2nd floor was quiet.
Watch the fridge as it freezes everything!
It is just a short drive to the Mammoth Dig and grocery stores and just a short walk to DQ if you like fast food.

The A/C unit was a little off. No kleenexs. Otherwise was convenient.
Booked because breakfast was susposed to happen . Not even coffee was prepared desk staff should be able to make coffee . No food no coffee . Someone at the desk should be able to help with basic things . The pillows were very old and small and flat. covers didn’t even fit to pull up and cover up . Air was too noisy to use .the light were dim couldn’t even read a book.
First thing we noticed was water all over the floor coming from ice machine, mop bucket sitting in middle of floor, pool was out commission, dryer on second floor didn’t work. Breakfast area was dirty, juice machine out of order. The room had snot on Night stand. The door lock in room was hardly hanging on. Ac in room was plugged into an extension cord and leaking water. I would have never wasted my money on this hotel had I known. Sad to see a hotel in that bad condition for the price of one night.

This place was ok, but short staffed, in fact i only saw one person. Our air conditioning didn’t work, we got our room down to 88 degrees. Being pet friendly people were walking their dog late at night, barking in the hallway at 3am is not a good thing.
Very uncomfortable beds on metal frames that squeaked whenever anyone moved. Made for a restless night.
Staff was very friendly and check-in was quick.
Town has extremely limited dining options after 7:30 which hampered our enjoyment. There's a Dairy Queen and Subway open after dark, plus a couple bars.
Not a city we'd stay in more than a night, and would probably get a different hotel with quality beds.

It a great place to stay and shower. There are few that need touch up. Window lock is broken, hole in wall that had not cover up. No hair dryer and iron/iron board. Breakfast is limited. It would be nice if they had like fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, miscellaneous.
