A Gem

Everything was perfect about this motel. The price was very reasonable and the owner was very pleasant. He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and gave us plenty of suggestions for supper and sight seeing. Fresh coffee available in morning. Even called me to let me know that I had left the pillow behind.

Comfortable stay

Stayed over one night on my to Nebraska. Property is Right off the interstate. Such a cute little motel. Staff was very friendly. Room and bed was super comfortable! Very clean and affordable! I have stayed in chain hotels all over the country that weren’t as clean and cozy as this sweet little motel. Would stay here again!

The owner is very nice and gave me the room that I parked in front of. I loved being able to bring my things right into my room instead of walking through a hotel and up an elevator, etc. The room is nice. It's roomier than many hotels and has a mini fridge and microwave, dresser and desk, plus excellent wi-fi. I would definitely stay here again.

Friendly, comfortable room. Clean and I love parking in front of my room. My only complaint is the curtain had holes and a gap so it didn’t close all of the way.

Bait and Switch wuth a side of ants...

First of all, we are very easy people to work with when it comes to resolving issues that may come up. However, when i mentioned that the rate was $59 per night on Hotels.com to the Owner, he stated that, "I charge in person, not through the Hotels.com website (although it said otherwise on the site...), and my rate is, $81.03." This is a huge jump from the $59 we were told we had. The good news was, we checked our bank information, and we were not charged both prices, just the $81.03. However, we first shrugged it off, because the Owner was nit going to budge any. The room was very dirty; grime on the walls, dust over a quarter inch deep on the vents, signs of black mold above the bath tub, and the carpet was very old and needs to be renewed. While i was in the bathroom, doing my business, i looked diwn and the floor was movung! About thirty if not more of what appeared to be Suger-Ants, were crawling all over the place, so i I got a towel and tried to squash as many as i could, so they didn't end up on my clothing or luggage.... So, to be "bait and switched" on the money situation on top of the filth factors, nade me write this warning to any future guests. We are coming back from a 13-hour trip, going to Mayo in Rochester, so we only need a couple of beds was all till morning and for the roads to clear themselves of the snow. We should have just paid the extra ten dollars and stayed at a more streamlined location to rest at. Hotels.com is working on refunding some.
