I like it, and you should stop in if in need. Very affordable, the rooms a nice, they allow pets. Comes with your Television, bed, restroom, tables and chairs. Ill stop by again when I'm heading back there. Ill keep the light on for you. Thanks and be well.
Nice clean rooms. Friendly staff. A famous author and musician lives here. He gave me a copy of his book Career Thief Mission to New York. Wildest book I ever read.
We stayed here twice (to and from Colorado). Friendly service and classic rooms. $55/night. No complaints. 5 stars isn’t enough to give them. I left my AirPods in the room, and they found them and mailed them all the way back to Indiana for me!! Good people and they will always be my first (and cheapest) choice when road tripping out west.
Well... a bit of a older setting motel but the sweetest little management running it. Clean and comfortable with everything you need for a less expensive price. Don't let the looks of the place fool you. No pool but very close to food services and down town shopping too. We will return on future visits.
The staff here were absolutely amazing! This place has the old school charm with a comfortable feeling we love the rooms. This place is a must see with the old school charm and rooms! This is the only place for us whrn we come through here from now on.
I am young,from New Hampshire, and I have been getting gyped by the econolodge prices. This hotel was much more affordable and actually clean. It looks old on the outside but it's nice on the inside and very clean. I will stay here again when I drive back up
Great place to stay! This travel inn was a life saver when we just could drive anymore on our road trip. Rustic and cute. Safe, clean, very helpful and friendly staff. GREAT PRICES!!!!
The motel has began the remodeling phase. They began work on remodeling six rooms and have installed motion sensor lights and motion sensor activated security cameras. My stay here was nice and peaceful and the work did not interfere with my stay. They improved the WiFi signal since my last stay.
Nice peaceful spot, great break from the road with ample semi parking at cubbys, if you drive a semi like me please park to the west side of the concrete barrier as other drivers like to disrespectfully block the driveway. All in all. The staff has treated me well the past two years i have been coming here, wi-fi works and rooms clean. Dont judge this place on the same level as the wit by hilton or some such hoity toity,( theres a reason you pay 200+ a night for that place). This is a solid, does what it says on the tin place and is reasonably priced. Definately a go to for me especially during road closure season
Nice Motel right off of I-80, behind the gas station. we were on our way to Colorado. We came about 10:30 and the rate was about $60 for a one bed, but could be more depending on the day. The owner was very welcoming. Great for a one night stay. Cable TV, microwave, large fridge, air conditioning, no wifi. We were welcomed very nicely would stay again.
