Stopped here for a quick night while driving cross country. Easy on and off I-80… older motel, family run, outside looks sketchy but the inside has been nicely maintained. Clean room, comfortable beds, microwave and fridge, close to restaurants. Seemed pricey for what it is. ($80.00). We stayed at comparable places for less. No breakfast , Casey’s truck stop adjacent, coffee and breakfast sandwiches….

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean and comfortable enough. The motel oversells itself by promising “five restaurants” and the pet-friendly rooms are very basic - carpet squares on concrete. Price is good if you just need a convenient overnight with your pet and aren’t picky bout you menu options.
