Have stayed here multiple times. Every time the rooms have been extremely clean. Price is fair and I have never had an issue. Will stay here again.
Rooms are nice and clean and cozy. Heat works good. Good showers. Decent beds. Excellent room service! I really like the gal that runs this place. She’s nice to talk to and easy to work with. Takes good care of her place and has decent customer service skills which also means a lot to me. Our sheep shearing crew likes this place every time we come here to shear at the feedlot. Thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderful little old school motel! Very friendly proprietor. Super clean room. Has everything you need to have a great experience and a good night's sleep! Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend it if you are in the area.
Stayed in the brand new building. Great amenities. Everything is new, modern. Bed was super comfortable. The black out blinds were great as well! Cannot recommend enough.
I spent a whole week there. And I will definitely stay here again. The room was beautiful. Cleanest motel I've ever stayed in. The clerk extremely nice. I highly recommend staying here
Small, clean, cozy. Place to sleep, nice bathrooms. Got hot water with amazing water pressure. TV with all the local cable channels, coffee maker, microwave, and clean linens. It's a really nice cozy spot at a very fair price. The woman who owns it has been managing and working the place by herself or with only one or two other staff members for 20 years. They just got a brand new roof this year and are about to have the parking lot re-done. The outside may not look the most modern or flashy, but the place is clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. It's also the place all the locals recommend staying. My father and I were in town for deer hunting. The TV had local stations and a hunting channel. All the local food places deliver here. Reasonably priced and we had no complaints. Amazing water pressure in the shower. -From Columbus Ohio.
Nothing fancy about the rooms but they are always clean, inexpensive, and the owners are friendly.
Exceeded my expectation of this type of lodging. It is older, however it was very clean. My room was cleaned between 1st & 2nd nights. Major hotels don't even do this on 3 day stay stay.
