This had an excellent rating but it was an old building, very simple furnishings. No coffee or breakfast offered. I don’t believe it deserves that high of a rating!

We came in late for a long day of travel. Our room qas quiet, exceptionally clean, and i am picky trust me, beds were new but too soft for my back. My family slept like babies, and i did too o ce i fell asleep. Check in was a breeze! Lobby and grounds were very clean and inviting for a small western town!

The motel room was very clean. If you are looking for an upscale motel this is not for you. If you want comfortable, affordable and clean this is a great place. The lobby is open from 4 pm to 11pm nothing fancy just friendly staff.

Room very, very clean and a comfy bed. Only thing I wished they had that would have made the room more convenient was a night stand that could have kept things more convenient. Also had a bit of a chemical type smell that wasn’t the best. The room was excellent in cleanliness.
