Needs some upgrading

The room was drab (colorless) with only a mirror and one picture on the wall. No tissue paper, no coffee machine. The physical state of the lodge was pretty bad. Some of the doors were cracked and the parking area was pretty cracked. It was also the case that I was the only person there overnight and the following morning--except for a supposed homeless and disabled man who was staying two doors down from me. Kind of spooky, actually.

Check in was very pleasant. Everything was awesome for a roadside motel. We liked the smart tv so we could log in to our streaming services. Room was clean shower was as hot as you can take. My only complaint would be the mattress was not good. Change them and you have probably one of the best travel overnight stays I've ever found.

It was okay. It was quiet and comfortable but even though it was a non-smoking room it smelled of stale cigarette smoke. It could be freshened to improve.

Very bare-bones experience. So what— I was sleeping almost the whole time. The hailstorm damage from some time ago makes the room doors look like heck, but don’t let that deter you. They are going to address the finish on the doors, as well as do a general renovation, soon. This was a very fine experience. I like that my car was parked directly in front of my room, à la nineteen sixties. The property is located in a beehive of truck stops, gas stations, and fast food places. The town, to the north, is rather small. Owner and staff are very friendly. Owner is a local farmer, or farmer’s wife. There was a freezer where I re-froze my packets of artificial ice. Great place to stop and sleep after hours of driving through Nebraska and Iowa.

No frills motor hotel. It was convenient as a stopping place along our route. It was better than another property we visited on our trip in a larger city. Morning coffee was offered, but was below average.

Obviously older motel, but nicely maintained. Staff super friendly on check in. Budget friendly alternative to more expensive chain hotels. Great for a one night stop on the road.
