Liked: Staff & service
I needed a place to stay with only a few days notice, so this was my solution. The price was decent. The location is good. The bathroom shower still had the soap and shampoo in it from the last person that stayed there so it definitly wasnt cleaned. Human hair on the beds under the comforter wasnt very comforting either. It wasnt all bad, but it definitly wasnt cleaned well either. It will work in a pinch.

checked in and unpacked. Sink wouldn’t drain. We were told maintenance already left so gave us a different room we had to move into. 1st room was way nicer than substitute room. Shouldn’t it have been the other way around? By the way all the moving of rooms was done in 4 degree weather.

Great motel!

Great stay. Ample parking for my 26’ trailer. Quaint room and decor. Everything worked. Great service upon arrival. Greeted by name, room lights and heater on. Outstanding service. Had dinner at onsite restaurant, great service, value and good food. Not a Hilton but great stopover on the highway 👍😎

Not impressed.

The room was not very good. I did stay with my dog (she is medium sized and weighs under #30. Doesn't bark, potty trained & very well mannered) and so I believe the room I was given was probably the "dog room." I can understand the reasoning but even my dog was not happy either. The carpet for sure was disgusting. Also, it took forever to get so-so hot water.

The staff were very nice. However, the heater was very unsafe. We smelt gas very strongly most of the day. We had to light the pilot light on the heater multiple times even through the night. The heater was very very old and not in suitable condition for this type of environment. Beds were comfortable and clean linen was very clean. Facility overall fairly older, but it was convenient for our stay.

Room are pretty bad but restaurant is pretty good

The only good thing to say about the room is it had a decent tv with good selection of channels. Other than that the place is really old and lacking. Floor is so squeaky that you wonder if you will fall through.

The lady at the front desk was very nice. The pet area was adequate. The heater was very noisy when it shut off and the noise from the cars and people during the nice kept waking us up. The restraunt in the parking lot was convenient the food was decent but the staff wasn't very helpful and one waitress was very rude. We won't stay there again.
