The street noise is unpleasant to say the least. Had to sleep with the air conditioning fan running or the traffic noise was unbearable. The building is very old but the inside has been remodeled and done quite nicely.

The brewery/pub is very nice, staff was friendly and helpful. The motel itself is showing its age, and priced as such. Room was clean and quiet.

We loved the restaurant attached to the hotel. Excellent quality food. And we liked our very spacious room and the fact that the bathroom area was separated from the sleeping area. There was a spacious countertop with double sinks, and the bathtub/shower had 4 shelves to put products on and a great non-slip tub bottom. The bathroom was very clean and had been upgraded fairly recently. HOWEVER, the PET FEE is INSANE! $75 for ONE NIGHT! We do not recall seeing that pet fee stated when we made our booking, or we would not have booked this place. NEVER have we heard of a fee anywhere near that high, even in the well-known average hotel chains.

This motel is used mainly by oil field workers as it gives them affordable accommodations. But this means the rooms are heavily used and the workers tend to bring some of the field into the building with them. The halls were heavily soiled with dirt that didn’t abate during my 3 day stay. The bathrooms have been updated in the past few years but there is more that needs to be done. The new owner is proposing to do that and I hope they are successful as being in an oil town makes it difficult to keep the buildings up, good staff happy and still remain affordable.
