Really friendly staff. Room was well cared for and clean as was the bathroom. Slept extremely well as it was quiet and the beds were really comfortable. I’m in Valentine every summer and have stayed at most of the hotels. Will definitely be coming back to this one!

One night stay

One night stay as we were passing through. We overslept breakfast but the kind lady at the front desk did hook us up with what she could. She definitely didn’t need to do that. Great service!

The room was prepared even though I was early. The staff was considerate and friendly. Although the "hot" breakfast consisted of omelets to warm in the microwave, there was a variety of yogurts and juices. The room was comfortable and the property seemed well maintained.
