Dave, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a modest motel with much to be modest about, but certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. Although the furniture in the room was a bit eclectic, everything was clean and functional. Check in was quick and efficient. The attached Mexican restaurant seems to have quite a local following. Several other dining options and some shopping is all within walking distance.

Decent hotel for the price

It was a pleasant surprise. Only down fall was vending machine was empty and no ice in ice machine. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Was only there for a quick overnight stay for ISU graduation. Nice mexican restaurant hooked up to hotel and dairy queen across the street. The water in shower for me could have been hotter but i like hot showers. The showerhead is in bad need of replacement. The area with the sink had terrible lighting for putting on makeup but for an overnight stay it was worth the cost. Oh the tv was big but the remote wasnt synced with the tv so we couldnt change channels or volume.

Okay.

Clean and comfortable. Property is in rough condition. Poor parking lot. Bed too soft.
Jim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I very much loved the beds and pillows, they were so comfortable! Room was clean and spacious. I liked the fridge and microwave also. The front desk was super friendly, I just felt bad having to ring the bell. I thought I might be disrupting family or personal time. The outdoor side doors did not lock which concerned me slightly since anyone could enter, but I felt safe enough with deadbolt locked. Overall pleasant stay.
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s not the worst

They definitely need new mattresses-as they are a bit saggy. They mop the bathroom floor dirt into the corners, and the vacuuming was ok. The breakfast was better than I expected as there were make your own waffles. Otherwise, some fruit, cold cereal, coffee, toast, and yogurt. Overall, I have stayed in worse, I’d stay here again if I had to.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Honestly, for $60 a night this place was not bad at all. Obviously staying in a motel, you’re not going to have the nicest room, but there are no complaints other than the red stain in the shower which was a bit frightening but i just ignored it. The bed at this place is honestly amazing. It’s big and extremely comfortable. Not sure if they washed the sheets or not so i brought my own. But extremely comfortable, nonetheless. Overall, i had a good experience here. Probably won’t come back though because I'm definitely going to stay somewhere nicer in the future.

Front staff was not always available when needed. Convenient for a one night stay close the interstate. Very outdated and you get what you pay for
Maureen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was just OK. The hotel is in obvious need of maintenance. The desk was unmanned when we arrived and we waited 10+ minutes for someone to arrive to check us in. The breakfast items were not set up for individual use -- one bag of bread, one tub of butter, one jar of peanut butter, one jug of milk. Kind of yuck.
Kelly, 2-night trip
