Convienent and clean motel

We stopped here on on our way from Washington to Minnesota. We were upgraded to a hot tub. :) The staff were very friendly and the motel met our needs for a restful nights sleep. It's a dated motel but well kept.

If you are traveling and running late don’t book this hotel. If you are after midnight they won’t check you in and they will take your money. The common area was dirty and dated too.

Decent for the price

Friendly environment. My room had a leak on the floor under the sink. Close to where I needed to be but a little dated in the overall decor. Good enough for me but would probably not bring my wife and kids.

The lobby needs an update. It looks as if it’s stuck in the 70’s. The parking was terrible and limited. There were questionable people hanging around outside. The whole property could really use an update. We didn’t even stay and went to a different hotel.

This is a budget-friendly option, which turned out to be surprisingly good. The room (we had king bed room) was unusually big! Usually you barely can fit between beds, but in this room you could dance. The bed was enormous. There was a table for eating which again was surprisingly convenient and easy to seat at. The room was clean, the staff friendly and there is Albertson next door and a river trail within a walking distance. It is not flashy, but for the price you get a very good stay.

There was mold in the shower a old moldy coffee filter left in the coffee pot and the floor was filthy. I asked for a towel and he had a disgusting little dog in his hands when he gave me the towel. Never again. I would rather sleep in my car.
