Adequate if you are not picky.

You get what you pay for. The exterior is not inviting but the rooms are spacious. My room was rundown but everything worked and was perfectly adequate for a one night stay. The shower was surprisingly large. When I met the manager she was friendly and gave me good advice on a tourist spot to visit that I didn’t know about.

Horrible place to stay. The shower in the first room leaked all over the floor. They tried to caulk a piece of Styrofoam tubing to the floor to keep the water in the shower, but it didn’t work. It leaked all over the bathroom floor and made it very slick. The TV didn’t work

The property owner is new so first off cut her some slack. She was probably the best hostess I've had outside of a bed and breakfast. Property is clean but is being worked on, so I understand there isnt a five star suite available but for the prices you will be pleasantly surprised by the room. Gering is walkable from there but take your car to Scottsbluff just beware the bridge crossing into scottsbluff was only one way and I ended up on a pleasant country detour to get back to Gering. Overall the room was good but the hostess was great.

Nice and clean

Renee was quick to greet us on arrival. While the property shows its age, we were very comfortable. The room was clean, fridge and microwave worked well. Bathroom was clean with ample towels.

It's the poorest condition motel I've ever stayed

The people are nice, the rooms and the condition of the hotel is the worst i"ve ever stayed at. Think 1950's with no updates. Stuff works, but it's old dingy or brokent !

The manager was very nice said she just took over recently but the property was so dirty and disgusting! The door to our room was falling apart so there was a gap at the bottom, the AC unit was rigged to work I guess but didn't really work, the tv wouldn't turn off, the floors were so nasty they turned our socks black, there were dead bugs in the window seals, and the other guests sat outside being very loud until 2-3 am.

0 stars. Do not stay!

No stars! Do not stay here. Moldy, buggy, full of trash, and unsafe. Did not stay the night and was told we would get a refund, but they did not follow through. The hotel is more for long term residents, not tourists. Submitted complaint with hotel.com and will be contacting the BBB.
