    Pretty good Breakfast places are nearby if you don't want the hotel breakfast. Old property and under some construction. It didn't affect anything. Good for a night break.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Motel is older but nice. Breakfast room is very small for size of hotel.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was clean and comfortable. TV was easy to figure out.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Not a lot to say you get what you pay for here, construction going on right now and they started early! But it’s to better the place but should maybe wait till check out time.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A great, reasonably priced option for an overnight stay. The gentleman at the desk was exceptionally kind and helpful. The room was clean and featured a nice, big TV. While the decor is a bit outdated, the cleanliness makes up for it, and it's clear they are actively making improvements. The breakfast selection was a pleasant surprise and bigger than expected. Plenty of parking and I felt completely safe. Water pressure was a little lacking, but it got the job done.

    Amazing hospitality. Great value. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. He and his wife made us feel like family. Good free breakfast options, particulary because better than expected based on cost of hotel booking. The hotel was going through some renovations when we stayed, but all the parts that were accessible to us were well maintained. It's an older property, so renovations are a welcome sign for it's future. All in all, I would highly recommend--and even more so for it's value proposition.

    This motel is currently under exterior renovation, but kept the area pretty clean. I arrived late at night and must’ve gotten the last available room, because they gave me a two bedroom, three bed unit! It had a small coffee maker, a mini fridge, a microwave, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and blow dryer! They provided a very good breakfast which contained cereal, waffles, bagels, fruit, biscuits & gravy, juice and coffee. It was easy in and out from the interstate. I found a park nearby to walk my dog. There was an extra fee for the dog. The young man at the desk.(Ben?) was very cordial and helpful! I appreciated his courtesy, respect, and professionalism!

    The hotel is old and was probably a nice family run place back in the day but now it is just a rundown out dated dumpy roadside hotel. The room was very damp. The carpet old and worn and all trim scratched and damaged. I could go on but you get the idea. The staff was friendly and polite and spoke English well. It needs a make over for sure.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was clean. Staff was friendly. breakfast was good. Parking was good safe. 2nd time staying there

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean but under renovation. Room was nice

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The staff was quite amiable, and the western theme of the motel was adorable. Will definitely stay again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The bed was fairly comfortable Cons: AC was quite loud and only cooled bathroom area. Carpet was nasty and hadn’t been vacuumed in one area. A bandaid had been used to cover the peep hole in the door. No elevator. Would not eat breakfast since the temperature of the refrigerator the food was kept in was 46 degrees.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff at the desk were friendly. Beds were comfortable but the room was hot because the air conditioner was in the bathroom area and it didn’t cool the rest of the room well. We didn’t eat the breakfast because the refrigerator was at 42 degrees and the room was very small and stuffy. But for the price, it was a decent stay

    Have stayed 6 years in a row

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was very clean, shower was great, bedding was crisp and clean. Coffee was good, continental breakfast was perfect. No complaints.
