Billy is wonderful, he truly helped make the stay great. Thank you so much for everything. The breakfast is a nice selection, loved the sandwich. WiFi works in room, but definitely is a lot better closer to the front of room/towards office where router most likely is. Did not work well enough for a laptop but worked great streaming shows on my iPad. Nice little motel that gives you exactly what you paid for.

Go elsewhere!!!

I'm used to staying in low quality places for work but this was not worth it. Could not find an employee to give me more towels until the 2nd to last day of a 10 day stay. At one point, I accidentally locked myself out and there was noone to let me back in. I called the hotel from inside their lobby and noone answered. It was late and cold. Eventually, I got back in through my room's window. Which was not even a little bit secure. I was happy to get back in but then nervous of how easy it was to get in through the window. The icing on the cake was getting eaten up by BED BUGS. I had never experienced them before. I didn't know what the bites were until the last day. I was furious but... Shocker... Could not find an employee to tell. I would have asked for a refund and not left this review had literally anyone from Magnuson had reached out to me.

Parking lots were covered in snow piles making it difficult to gather my belongings to my room. The internet given to us wasn't available to use and due to the random service going out makes it difficult to do my things online.

This property was absolutely horrible. It was very dirty. There was animal pee marks throughout the carpet. when we arrive to check in, we walked in to the front desk we rang the bell we’ve called rang the bell multiple times we were there for about 35 40 minutes before somebody comes walking into the office to help us check in our room. We asked her why nobody was in the office. She said she was out doing laundry! in a completely other part of the building.

This hotel has two properties on the same street. On Expedia.com shows photos of the newer on, but our room was assigned the old one. The appearance made us wanted to look for other hotels, but we were too tired to do so after 8 hours driving in a frigid air. Inside of the room was clean with updated bathroom/a sink/a large countertop. Found no microwave/refrigerator in the room which were on the Expedia images. The lady at the front desk bought one to our room from the other property. I was so grateful for her prompt action along with a good assortment of breakfast items including whole wheat items. A gas station is conveniently across from this motel.
