It was a great location for our purpose. It was clean mostly. We wanted a no smoking room. Even signed a waiver saying we wouldnt smoke in it or if it smells like smoke we would be charged. However as soon as we stepped into the room, it smelt like smoke. Not horrible but to a non smoker definately noticable. I called the number for the office and someone got back to me very quickly and came out and checked. Also gave us a can of spray which helped. My other concern was the stains on the sheets and the cigarette burns holes in the comforter. Beds were very comfy. Lastly when wiping down porcelein when cleaning make sure you get all the hair. There was someonelses hair stuck to the pedestal sink and everytime you sat to pee you could see it. I think it is guiness having the code locks and being able to get extra towels and toilet paper too. It was a nice touch having the breakfast vouchers. The mexican american diner was fantastic.

A little bit disappointed given the high reviews on the place. Stains on some of the sheets and towels, shower floor was slightly stained with some dirt/grime. Bed was comfortable, though and great location.

The property appears clean but is not that clean. The walls where the bed had splashes of something. The floor look clean but there were very dirty. Shower also had hair from previous occupant. Also towels looked grayish. It’s nice but they need better cleaning crew. Check in was easy and convenient and they gave coupon to a nice breakfast spot next door.

Renovated roadside property from the pre interstate days-this place had what we needed for a quick 24 hour stay: simple accommodations, clean rooms, pre-check in and a dog friendly property. Loved the kitschy rooms!
