Overnight stay while traveling cross country

Well when we pulled up to the hotel I was very concerned. The grounds of the hotel were really bad. Parking lot is pretty much dirt, hotel sign damaged. Looked abandoned. Check in was fine and the rooms have had some work done to them. Bathroom redone. Fridge and microwave. Room was clean. Beds were okay for a one night stay. So we decided to stay. It was quiet even though it was close to the highway. The outside of the property really needs some work.

Location was very convenient to the highway so that was the main criteria for us. It was also surprisingly quiet considering how busy it was and the highway traffic. The place is just simply old. It appeared to be clean but nothing has been updated since the 70s except for the electronics. You get what pay for in this instance. We weren’t disappointed considering we knew what to expect from the price and pics.

The room is old but has been refurbished in the bathroom areas. Microwave was an old one also but I did not use it to see if it worked or not. Refrig did work. Carpet looked to be shampooed recently which surprised me. Doors could be replaced cause damage can be seen over the years.

This place was very old, but clean and tidy. Looked run-down and in desperate need of an overhaul on the outside, but the room itself was spotless. The lady at the front desk was super nice. Orbitz showed only a few rooms available when I made my reservation, but this is a fairly large property, so I'm going to assume most of it isn't operational. I saw only maybe 6-8 rooms occupied when I was there. It was priced right, and very near the freeway for easy access. It's old, so no convenient outlets for phone. Parking is right outside the room.

We're not sure A) Why this motel is actually open, and B) Why it's listed on the Hotels.com website. This place is a complete disaster! It looked like a meth / crack house and I'm sure drugs and other unsavory things are going on there. We opted to lose the money we'd already paid on Hotels.com and drive 30 miles further to stay at a Holiday Inn in Ogallala, NE. It seriously looks like an abandoned structure --- there were no other cars at around 5:30pm, which should have been our first red flag. The parking lot is broken up with weeds and grass growing through. The "pool", such as it is, was empty and looked to have been abandoned years ago. There were rusty iron steps leading to the top floor. The bathroom and sink facilities in the room were rusted and barely worked. DO NOT STAY HERE.
