Sara checked us in quickly and each day we got our free bag of ice. Jody helped with a refund on extra night that wasn’t needed before their cancellation policy. Thank you.

It felt strange checking in to a hotel at a gas station cashier desk, but everyone was friendly! The rooms were warm in January and well maintained.

Easy check in, pretty quiet place, not far from Hwy. Not a bad place for a small town. Will definitely use this place again.

Accused of keeping the key from a previous stay. The woman checking me in wanted to argue with me that I didn’t leave it in the room just as I did. That always starts the night off …

It was hard to find and we arrived late and there was no one there to check us in. The place did not look safe and we had to find another hotel.

Convenient, affordable, clean, stocked with amenities and towels.
Was between the interstate and railroad tracks but wasn’t horrific, really didn’t notice.

Really nice, clean and newly refurbished motel room. It was a real gem in the woodpile to find such a great place near to our family camping in the State Park.
Check in at the gas station went smoothly and a fully stocked store had all the essentials and more. We will stay again!

Don't book through hotels.com, or Expedia. They did not receive the reservation. Did not have the room booked online. Beds are old and really too soft.

The price was very reasonable. The room was clean and bathroom has been upgraded. Parking area gravel and lots of traffic around convenience store but I’m okay with both those things. Would stay here again!!!
