Room 114 was clean. The A/C worked efficiently. Used the fridge/freezer for the food I had brought along. Wi-Fi worked well; password required. Bathroom was clean but the paint was peeling. Older building that has had some renovations done.

The property is old and the owners are working on bringing it up to date. Location is super convenient to where I needed to be this week and within walking distance of Dairy Queen. Even if full; it is very quiet.

This place is a gem, a vintage midcentury motel that's been well-maintained and also features modern conveniences. I try to patronize locally & independently owned classic motels and this place was everything I could have hoped for: clean, comfortable and spacious. Fridge, microwave, flatscreen TV, wifi...it was all good. Fabulous roomy tiled shower. Plush towels and crisp linen. I would definitely stay here again.
Spacious and comfortable room
Exterior sign--glad I had made a reservation!
Interior view toward front window
Bathroom had style

Dirty and pieced together, very small room. Room looked unkempt or taken care of.

Older but a fine place. Has a car port! One issue: there was no cold water! Hot came out of all faucets - sink and shower. Probably just this unit and I was only there to sleep, so didn’t get a chance to tell or ask anyone about it. Good price for a 15 min detour - half to a third the price of those off I80.

For an older property, it was very clean. The staff was very nice. Although it was a non-refundable property, we had no choice of going. we have a wedding that got canceled. It was a downer that we could not get refunded.

I have stayed here previously, it needs a little updating and was cleaner on previous trips. There was a dirty coffee cup in our room and coffee left in the pot.

People were really nice, but it was dirty. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned, light didn’t work, no coffee refilled from before, smelled like smoke. Bed was comfy. You get what you pay for.

Don't, just don't. Spend the extra $30-$50 and stay at a low end chain hotel.
