You have to call a phone # to get your room password #, no one is on site at night. It works fine , it is just a delay vs a live desk clerk.

This hotel is recently remodeled. We had a room with a kitchenette, and that had great amenities, but scant toiletries (a tiny packet of kleenex, like two.) We were unaware that this property was very close to the highway and thus noisy. Earplugs and white noise machines aren't the answer. Breakfast area was clean and well stocked with good food. Very unusual to not speak to a hotel employee for check-in or check-out, and the office is unmanned much of the time.

This was our second time staying at the Outdoors Inn and we will most certainly return again next year. The owners have totally remodeled this motel and it’s wonderful. It is a great, convenient place to stay. Rooms are very nice and spacious. Very comfortable beds. Thanks for a great place to stay while in town for the soccer tournaments!

It was a pleasure to stay 2 nights in this completely refurbished vintage motel. It was clean, convenient, and everyone on site was very friendly and helpful. Need earplugs, which they provide because the motel is right beside a busy highway.
