Great place to stay !

The host was super nice and accomodated our needs/request for an extension cord and help to print something. The beds were super comfortable and clean. I was especially grateful for the hot water since many places don't have that. The location is close to restaurants and stores.

The stay was okay except for the fact that you couldn't reach the WiFi from the hotel room you had to go outside just to get WiFi.

Quick sleep

It was a small quaint room. We stopped to sleep for the night. So it met our needs. But the toilet seat was loose. It was a quiet place.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and easily accessible. The room had a nice size refrigerator and a microwave. There was an available four slice toaster, microwave and ice maker in the office, there was also a coffee machine but it was out of order. The price was very affordable.

Good: Hot water in the shower, TV worked, relatively warm in the room. Bad: Manager left us outside in the freezing cold to get checked in (bizzaro), asked for a non-smoking room but she thought I said smoking room. She said go ahead and smoke everyone else does. I corrected her and she said, no you have a non-smoking room, the others are smoking room - did a poor job of lying. Placed needed some maintenance.

Extremely dated, in need of maintenance and serious upgrades This would make a great boutique hotel if they would put $$ and effort into it. Room was clean in comparison to the overall condition . Front desk/office was not open as posted.

There was no breakfast to speak of; the beds were lumpy, and the bathroom not very clean. The property was dirty and unkempt. We would recommend that no one stay here.

One Motel that I would stay at again

We went to the motel expecting the worse, but we were really surprised. The room was clean. Nice beds, refrigerator, microwave, and tv. Enjoyed the tv throughout the night after the concert. We just had a problem with the lid on the stool which the staff fixed it right away. The roof leaked with really slow drips, but notified the staff. After being soaking wet from the concert, a little drip of water didn't hurt a thing. The beds were comfortable and the staff gave us all an extra pillow. The price was one of the cheapest in town during the rodeo and concert. I know that reviews are important, I even looked for the reviews first before booking it. I am glad that I didn't dwell on the negative reports. I would stay there again.

The beds were unmade. Clean sheets and towels were sitting on one bed. Blankets and comforter were thrown on dresser from previous guests. No toilet paper at all. Went to office and got 2 rolls. Shower was black and slimy. Office just said there were housekeeping issues. We were put into another room that was a little better. Bathroom floor need to be swept. We slept in our clothes and used our own pillows since it was late and left first thing in the morning.

For the price, I expected it to not be good, and I was right. One of the workers we're really helpful, the other, not so much. The bathroom didn't lock, the beds felt like an air mattress, and the bathtub was absolutely disgusting. The floor of it was gross and the curtain was discolored and molding in one of the corners. It was only a little worse than I expected. Would I suggest it to someone, not without letting them know what they're getting. Would I go back, only if money was really tight.

Should be CONDEMNED!!! I booked the last hotel room available in the town. I knew booking this it was not a high quality hotel but thought we only needed a few hours of sleep and a shower in the morning. I got much mor than that. I was greeted by a extremely outdated motel with a less than secure door that was too filthy to touch with my bare hand and a threshhold cover with some sort of insect poison. Hoping the curb appeal was just bad, we entered and found what horror movies are made of. Outdated furniture, walls and ceiling that were patched, the floor was falling through in one area. There appeared to be a blood stain on the front window curtain that was barely hanging. There was brown smudge marks inwhich i could only guess to be some sort of feces. The ac was not working and had mold in vents. There was an office chair that looked to have urine stains on it and a lounge chair that appeared to be pucked up from the side of the road. I built up the courage to look in the bathroom where i found broken light fixture, a mirror so dirty my image was blurry, an air vent caked with mold, and a half bathtub that was so dirty and stained it looked like someone rebuilt a transmission in it recently. Some other room doors were open wide and people "hanging out". Needless to say we took key back to desk clerk, expressed our concerns to only get offered another room, which i am guessing it was one of the best rooms. Only thing missing here was a chalk outline of a body.
