The room was okay but when we checked in the lady working at the front desk was rather rude. She asked if it was just two adults and when I told her we had our two grandkids she told me our room wasn’t big enough. I explained that they were young and in fact one would be in a pac n play and the other would sleep with us she told me it didn’t matter I was going to get charged for an upgraded room. My card was then charged another $34. If she was polite about it I would have been fine but she was not.

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 …
