Overnight stay

Just traveling through, but a nice spot for the night just off the freeway. Room was spacious and clean. The man checking us in was curt with us because we had booked online instead of directly. Woman upon our checkout was very pleasant though.

Rooms were clean but outdated and carpet was worn out. Hot tub was in need of cleaning so didn’t use it, Breakfast was terrible with cold biscuits and some gravy in a crockpot was the only choice for something hot.

There are restaurants, gas stations and stores near here. If you are one who likes all the bells and whistles this is not for you. If you like friendly staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds and the feel of an old mom and pop place then this is a great one! This is an older hotel that is very clean and well kept. They is a tv, hair dryer and clean bedding and towels. The rooms are clean and lots of space and hot water showers. They have a nice breakfast and jacuzzi if you want to use it. I would stay here again no problem.
