Cleanliness was very good in my second floor room. Keep in mind it is a budget motel, so it is old with poor remodeling, has scratchy towels, a very small continental breakfast. Road construction is still going on at the main street where you enter the access road. The thing I liked least was the room location, I got my... More

We just needed a room for a night and this was just that...a room. The worst thing was the mattress pad which had a plastic feel and sound when we were trying to sleep. It was December so we needed a little heat, but didn't sleep well due to getting hot and sweating from the plastic under us. Bottom line:... More

We were there for an event and the man at the desk had all the information about what was going on and where everything would be... More

Older hotel but refurbished ok. Got a coupon book at a rest stop on I-70 and got for 39.99. Room was clean, beds were good, everything else good. They have a VCR in every room and let you pick out a free movie for the night, 2 dollars each for more if you want. Breakfast was as usual for free.... More
