Clean and comfortable

The person at the front desk was nice and very helpful. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It is an older hotel, but it looked like they made great efforts to keep it clean and comfortable. The parking lot was packed it that tells you anything. I would stay there again.

Hotel called me three times the day of travel to hound me trying to find out when I would be arriving. We ended up checking in at 2100, for the night. I was worried the entire drive there that they would cancel my reservation. The rooms are also filthy

Decent motel adjacent to a truck stop. The location is great. Front desk staff are friendly and breakfast is great! The doors are hard to unlock and operate and there are tons of cigarettes butts and trash all around the property.

The rooms need better lighting especially a desk lamp. Breakfast was minimal but I expected that from a motel. Staff was very nice, rooms were clean and price was right

The front desk staff was very helpful. I let him know I needed a room on the ground floor as my sister who was traveling with me uses a walker. He immediately offered a handicap room which was great for accessibility. The beds were very comfortable and the room was comfortable. I would recommend staying here.

Great location

We had a very comfortable stay. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable and close to Cabella's and a great steakhouse. This is not a beautiful hotel, but it was great for wat we needed.

I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were spotless, the beds were comfortable, the fridge was roomy, and there were plenty of very decent towels. The shower had great water pressure, too. The only negative experience was when I checked in, the clerk didn’t give me the room that I wanted, but in the end he did so crisis averted.
