A great place to stay

The Big Chief Motel was a great choice for a recent stay. The room was updated and everything was very clean. The bed was comfy and and we weren't disturbed by outside noise. It includes a simple breakfast with plenty of choices. Check in went well with friendly and helpful staff.

Room is large, TV large, AC works very well. Has an electric kettle for making tea and our filter cone coffee if we don’t want to use their filter pot. Larger small fridge than usual. Beds comfy but very high off the ground. A table and two comfy chairs plus a desk and chair. Nicely spacious for 3 people.

Nice place with nice people.

We were greeted nicely and helpfully at check in. The room was clean. Breakfast had a good assortment of foods including breads, cereals, waffles, sausage, and bananas. Room was quiet and we only heard one train.

Just driving through for the night and had to stop. The front desk was so friendly. And the beds were so comfy. The only issue we had with was the door sticking when leaving so you literally had to pull it to slam it shut. Which made me feel bad when we left at 4:30 am. Would stay here again for sure.

The motel was newly renovated and very clean. The pool area was a place we spent some time. While the breakfast area was small, it had an excellent choice for a continental breakfast. I would recommend this to my friends and family.
