This was a nicely furnished, clean, surprisingly inexpensive and friendly hotel, perfect for a one-night stay for travelers (in our case, a couple with a medium-sized dog), easy access off and on I-80. Quiet, and plenty of pleasant outdoor walking space for the humans and the dog … the nearby Mexican restaurant (not a chain!!) is really pretty good …
