A very good stay. Hotel was recently updated and comfortable. Bot ice machines were malfunctioning during our stay, but staff made ice available on request to help alleviate the inconvenience. Great hotel for the price and we will be returning here next year!

2/10 Poor

The motel is very ran down…. It’s ok for the price but we won’t stay again. Tv didn’t work, it sits on dresser and the spot on the wall where it’s supposed to hang is an exposed mess. Not great for kids at night. Stairwell and motel in general needs cleaned and updated

It was a good stay for the night, right off the interstate. Safe but looks a little creepy with the truck parking behind. Good price for the night though.

Connie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

i'm disapointed that this place can charge a competitive rate but do not offer even a small breakfast and most of the time no coffee is availlable. however, the staff is very friendly and this motel is convenient to the truck stop. the rooms are beautiful and always clean .
Debra, 6-night trip

This is decent place to rest and clean up. It is not realy walking friendly though. Many things nearby too do. Wish they would re-open the pool
