You have to call a phone # to get your room password #, no one is on site at night. It works fine , it is just a delay vs a live desk clerk.

This was our second time staying at the Outdoors Inn and we will most certainly return again next year. The owners have totally remodeled this motel and it’s wonderful. It is a great, convenient place to stay. Rooms are very nice and spacious. Very comfortable beds. Thanks for a great place to stay while in town for the soccer tournaments!

It was a pleasure to stay 2 nights in this completely refurbished vintage motel. It was clean, convenient, and everyone on site was very friendly and helpful. Need earplugs, which they provide because the motel is right beside a busy highway.

this is a really nicely updated motel. We wanted to extend our stay but, unsurprisingly, others had already booked it ip. We would recommend it to our family when they come to visit us. As warned it is near highway and railway, but it never woke us up. Highly recommended!
