One night stay in a small town

Very strange Chicken system. Almost like an Airbnb. Enter a code mailbox opens grab your key. Never saw another person. This is an extremely small town. A three minute walk across the parking lot took us to the country air restaurant. I believe the entire town was there for dinner. Good prices, friendly staff good food quick.

Obviously a recent renovation has been completed on this property. Rooms are nicely appointed and spotlessly clean! Contactless check in went smoothly with property being very proactive and responsive. Close to the interstate and walking distance to a couple of restaurants. Highly recommended!

I was so happy with this property, especially at its low price point. I booked because of the excellent reviews it had, and I was equally pleased. I will be making excuses to be back in this area so I can stay here again.

Travel Light

If you don't want contact with anyone, this is the place to stay. I was surprised that there was no staff on site and everything was computer-driven. Check yourself in and a box pops open with your keys. The front door is unlocked for anyone off the street to come into the building, so I wouldn't travel here alone. But the 4 of us felt safe enough. There was no luggage rack, so we had to carry everything to our room. Travel light if you stay here and don't expect concierge service.

The absolute cleanest room we've ever had. Love the virtual check in and not having to do the monotonous paperwork at a front desk. Simply getting the code and getting the keys were so easy and checkout was super easy by just leaving the keys on the nightstand. There is an excellent restaurant a couple blocks away that was amazing! Best food from a family restaurant we have had in a very long time. We were so impressed with our short stay and will be back again soon.

Would stay here again. I was a bit skeptical when I pulled up. The inside is new and very clean. Outside is just a bit dated.

This was a no frills hotel HOWEVER it met my needs amazingly. Clean, quiet, accessible, and a good value for the money. This was a first no contact/no personnel check-in for me and it was incredibly easy. I would recommend it. I entered my code and got my keys. No dealing with someone who clearly is not interesting in working. Will be back if I am in the area.

Brand new!

Hotel felt brand new! Check in was unique, no service counter or person on staff. They send you a code and you punch in your # to get your keys. Super quiet and comfortable.
