Updated, clean, plenty of parking, firm mattress, efficient staff. Good value. Sure, the outside is a 1960's vibe, but it has been very well kept and updated. Coffee is right next door at Casey's!

Towels were harsher than I am used to using and small. There is no breakfast and the TV did not work, but the place was spotless, from the parking lot to the shower. I'm going to use this hotel again in a few weeks.

I would've thought that you would at least get a coffee pot in your room, but NO! It didn't offer any amenities at all. The pillows are lumpy and the bed is hard.

Stopped here for a quick night while driving cross country. Easy on and off I-80… older motel, family run, outside looks sketchy but the inside has been nicely maintained. Clean room, comfortable beds, microwave and fridge, close to restaurants. Seemed pricey for what it is. ($80.00). We stayed at comparable places for less. No breakfast , Casey’s truck stop adjacent, coffee and breakfast sandwiches….

This motel is perfect for an overnight stay. The rooms are inexpensive. The beds are comfortable. The refrigerator has a separate freezer compartment. The rooms have a microwave. The towels are small but the showers are nice with decent pressure. If you want big fluffy towels - bring your own or stay at a hotel. They have switched from cable to Roku which is genius. Unfortunately they stopped serving coffee in the morning but the local convenience stores have decent coffee. It is cheaper if you take in your travel tumbler for a refill price. Try the Mexican place down the street - it is really good.

The room was clean and comfortable enough. The motel oversells itself by promising “five restaurants” and the pet-friendly rooms are very basic - carpet squares on concrete. Price is good if you just need a convenient overnight with your pet and aren’t picky bout you menu options.
