This motel was perfect for what we wanted. A clean place to sleep for a night. VERY clean and VERY quiet even though it was completely booked. I would definitely reccomend it for someone who just wants the basics. Again, VERY clean.

Wedding stay

Cleaniless was great. Very dated and pillows need to be replaced as sleeping was not super comfortable. Curtain needs to be fixed as well since looks out to the parking lot and hard time closing it all the way. No breakfast but not an issue for us.

No shampoo or conditioner in room. MAnager barely spoke. Ice machine only available during short lobby hours. In the morning there was an unimaginable stench outside. Not farm related.

Small but comfortable room, Clean with one bed, micro and refer. No coffee pot which I have come to expect. ? Close to staples shopping. Can't fault it as a budget motel. I'd stay again.

The room was clean but really needs updating of the carpet and bathroom. The pillows are really flat, bring your own. There is no coffee in the room, and only bar soap in the bathroom.

Very nice clean motel for a very reasonable price. Loved that it had 3 beds as we travel with 2 kids (1boy, 1 girl) and it gets expensive to have enough beds for us all. My only complaint was that it had snows and no one shoveled at all. We had to walk through ankle deep snow to get from our vehicle to our room. Otherwise a great room for a very reasonable price.
