Bill, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Drove 5 hrs and no room with reservations!

Poor poor management. I booked this place 3 weeks ago. I drove 5 hours and my kids are tired. I get there and the room was canceled. Not one person called me. Management didn’t call anyone that had a room. Everyone was sent away. How crappy is that on a holiday weekend in a town with only two motels. Will never book here again and this was my first time booking here.
Angela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good continental breakfast
Johnny, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We stay here all the time when visiting family . We usually see a younger lady who is fantastic and friendly . Today there was an older lady at the check in who was horrible. She has no customer service skills . If I had not already paid for room I would have cancelled . I will not stay here again if she continues to be here . Horrible !

10/10 Exceptional

Pretty good breakfast, especially the chopped fried potatoes.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a bit older, but combined with the location and price its a good deal. If you just need an economical hotel to sleep for the night it is a good place to rest.
