Parking was easy and in a convenient location. Slept very well due to the nice quality sheets. They offered lots of hot water for our shower with nice fluffy towels. Very clean Hotel on the inside outside could use a little TLC as far as sprucing up the paint. Overall great stay

Clean bed, decent sized room. Couch was worn out and had sand on it. Staff was friendly and helpful, really appreciated that. Overall, it's typical of the America's Best Value brand. Not great, but typically cheaper.

Room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was small. Towels are not the huge towels I get at other hotels. Park I had to use was gravel, not paved. The Americas Best sign was not showing on the building where I could see it so I thought it was the wrong property.

We arrived and were greeted so warmly and everyone from the front desk to the people that cleaned were so friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds were firm but so soft to sleep in. The bathroom was small with very thin towels and soap the size of a quarter. Bring your own toiletries. This is an older hotel and the walls are thin. The first night we heard the tv next door all night. The other 2 nights were wonderfully quiet. There was a clean nice pool and the coffee was always on but no breakfast provided. I would stay again.

Older motel, but always clean and comfortable. Pet friendly which I love! Indoor pool is great, wish the hot tub was up and running. If you don’t mind older furnishings and no continental breakfast this might be for you. BK and gas station across the street. Good base if hunting or fishing in the area.
