I liked that the sheets were clean, bed was comfortable, and it was pet friendly. The staff was nice. The fridge was filthy w/mold, cigarette ashes on the desk drawer and the floor needed a better sweep. Suggestion: Maybe have a destination for dogs to go to the bathroom and something that holds poop bags and have a trash can right by the poop bag dispenser.

As the old saying says … you get what you pay for. As low budget hotels go, this one isn’t the worst, but it’s close. Under the previous owner, the rooms were clean. They no longer are. Expect mold on your show curtain, and muddy footprints on your floor. And bring a snow shovel with you so you can scoop away the cigarette butts that drift up against your car overnight.

The place is now an extended stay with some nightly rooms. Our room had electricity only in the bathroom. Toilet bowl was completely brown! Toilet seat was broken with duck tape wrapped around it! Clerk was polite and refunded my money. But I then needed to find another motel at 11 pm.

Seems like there are low income people living there full time. They were loud in the halls after 10 pm making sleep difficult. The cheap plastic toilet seat was broken. Dog poop ieverywhere in the grass outside. "Free Breakfast" was a joke, very minimal. I won't be back.

The room needed a thorough cleaning. The floors had dirt on them and stains. The smell in the room was terrible and caused an allergic reaction. It smelled like chemicals. I would never return to this motel.

I Stopped Here Unexpectedly during the snowstorm on my way through town, I'm really glad I did. The room was very clean, quiet, and offered every thing I needed for a comfortable night. The hotel is reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the wonderful coffee in the morning before getting back on the road. A Great Place To Stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND....
