Comfy & cute place!

This place is an amazing gem! My son and I stayed here on our way to Kansas from South Dakota. This is a very comfortable, cute, friendly place. The double queen room we got was huge! We will stop here again when we are in the are.

This is a cute little place, almost in the middle of nowhere! While there are not many choices for places to stay in this area, do not feel like you will have to settle for something dirty or shady when staying here. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Fixtures are dated but everything we needed was available here, and it was clean. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. There is a small, self-serve continental breakfast & coffee area available (remember those?). I am not a breakfast person, but some may appreciate more choices for breakfast. However, it's nothing that would stop us from coming back. Give this place a try!

The hotel was clean and quiet. However, the small town closed up very early so there was no place to eat. In addition, they only served breakfast until 8:00 AM which was too early for us to eat since we were on vacation.
