Good stop for a night. There’s a truck stop next door so I would think it could be noisy. Either we were really tired or it was a slow truck night. Best night sleep in 8 nights. Bed was great. If you’re a breakfast person - skip it.

We’ve stayed here several times. It’s dog-friendly, convenient walking trail, easy access from the highway and restaurant and gas station in the same area.

Disliked: Room comfort

Front desk people were very sweet! Hotel is very outdated WHICH I don’t mind! It gives a little nostalgic feel to it! But the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Probably a very old mattress with lots of dead skill cells and hair and just so uncomfortable to sleep on. There was no body wash either in the shower. The plug ins for a charger would not work. The room was like 78 degrees when we got there and could not figure out the thermostat for awhile. Tv was the worst it was so old you couldn’t watch anything on it or even connect ur phone to it. Shower was so old and the pressure was just the awful and there tub is so old and outdated it was probably very clean but it felt dirty and old. There’s barely anything to eat around the hotel expect fast food. There’s nothing to really DO either. It’s definitely more for a one night trucker stay or just need something cheap and quick. It’s definitely not a resort type of hotel by any means and we knew that going in just definitely expected a little bit more
