We decided to go a little farthur so we booked for 1st time. We just wanted to get in. Go to bed and wake up and go. It was clean but no vending, no ice, not even a bucket. Told to go to Truck Stop and buy my own ice. More expencive than our unual Super 8 Ogalalla, NB. Next to truck stop noisy with trucks going buy all night. Lot of construction workers staying long term to work on road. Outside making noise drinking and having a good time. I like a good time but we were there to sleep and go early.

The gentleman managing the front desk and customer relations with kind, professional, and extremely helpful. Although this is an older hotel that needs a little TLC all I needed was a warm shower in a comfortable bed. In the bonus was the gentleman at the front.

The room I was checked into wasn’t what I had payed for because the manager was away on a trip so the man he had checking guests in wasn’t aware of what to do , I payed for a king bed room and got a double bed room when I arrived inside the room was dirty and seemed to only have had the bed made over the last person to stay bad stains on sheets as well as old underwear an water bottles under bed , room had strong smell as if it had been smoked in even though it is a no smoking room I booked not sure what I got placed in.
