The remodelled section is lovely. The staff honest and helpful with understanding the hours for local shops and stops. The lack of available food in the vending machines sounds silly but the entire town closes up at or before dark so plan for truckstop gas station food or grab something at a drive thru just before they close up.

Overall my stay was fine. There is a big difference between the rooms on the right side of the building vs the renovated rooms facing the road. When booking you should request the rooms on the front. Much better, more room, and cleaner.

The property is across from iHop, which was convenient, with Pizza Hut, McDonalds and other restaurants nearby. The office staff were very polite and friendly. The room was large. I would definitely stay there again.

Typical Rural Stay

This hotel offers a convenient location for a overnight business stay but falls short in some aspects. Rooms are basic but service is friendly.

This hotel is an older hotel, which means the rooms are larger. You can actually walk around the room without bumping into furniture! It was quiet when I was there, which was on a Thursday; I don't know how quiet it is on the weekend. I plan on going back when I'm in the area again.
