This property was good for the price. It was dated, so some things weren't perfect, like the air conditioner was a bit loud, the bathroom could use new caulking in places and the carpet is getting tired. But, it was pretty clean and did the trick for a few, unplanned nights in a hotel. (we were supposed to go camping.)

Avoid at ALL Costs

I have stayed in 100s of hotels/motels in the USA and Europe over the past 40 years and this one gets the award for being the worst. I paid for 2 nights but left after 1 miserable sleepless night. The motel is next to an intersection and the road noise was overwhelming ALL night long (and I use earplugs but they were useless). Half of this run down, totally outdated motel was occupied by oil and gas workers who all noisily left between 5 to 6 am. Just a plain miserable excuse for lodging.

Good stay except for one thing…

Overall, the room was good. Most likely I’d stay there again. Only reason for 3 stars is we didn’t find out until the morning that the hot water handle in the shower didn’t work. We only stayed one night, so by the time we discovered this, there was no time to do anything about it. Aside from that, the room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend, but soon as you check in, check the shower faucet :-)

Clean, comfortable & conveniently located

Pristine clean in the room, comfortable bed and sofa, appreciated the fridge and microwave. Staff so polite! Pool wasn't open at time of visit. Convenient to groceries, restaurants, parks and of course the Caverns.

A dump for workmen

This place is a dump, but the workmen use it. We specifically requested a first floor room. They lied to us and said one was not available. But when I got there and the air-conditioning was so loud I was going to walk out on them, they moved me to a first floor room. That is how I know they lied to me. If so many workmen use it, it serves a purpose. That is the best I can say about these liars.

The shower head was sticking out of a hole in the wall. The toilet wouldn’t flush correctly. The bathroom window let cold air in. Only a bed spread over top sheet. Other that that, the rug looked new and was clean.

Ok - a bed to sleep in

It was a bed to sleep in, nothing more. We got up early just to get out of there. Check in was just a check in. We got our key! Nothing more, she didn’t volunteer any helpful information . It was clean enough. Hot when we got there - very loud AC, but too hot without it. I doubt I’d stay there again.
