Disliked: Amenities
It was an ok stay for one night. The employees were very friendly and check in/out was easy. Beds weren't very comfortable, floor was dirty, water pressure/temperature control in the shower was awful, and breakfast wasn't very good. The eggs were cold and the waffles tasted like cardboard. We wouldn't stay here again.

The room was clean and the price was right, it’s in a quiet and safe location, close to the highway. It is a little bit difficult to find it at night, the signage is low profile, compared to most motels. We will definitely stay there again on our travels back-and-forth from Oklahoma to North Dakota.

We had a problem with the a/c we were moved to a different room. The bed was ok, the new a/c was just ok, I expected a more plush hotel, based in n the reviews, not so. Clean, breakfast was just fair.

One night stay

Clean room with a comfortable bed and wonderful pillows. Great hours for breakfast, but staff did not check/refill things. One staff person came in and looked at the coffee level, but did not start a new pot nor check the food level (lack of biscuits) and gravy that looked like it had been sitting for hours. We were not impressed, but luckily there were make your own waffles.
