Friendly staff, very attentive management that went above and beyond to accomodate us. Definitely staying here again!
Wi-Fi wasn’t working, so no tv. They were remodeling the lobby, so no breakfast at that time. Nothing that was a deal breaker, though!

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
No agent working the front desk. Had to ring a bell multiple times or call a number to get someone to show up thag didn't disclose at checkin that breakfast starts at 7 and not 6 as listed on the website. The hot buffet was a mini crockpot of sausage patties and the pastries were white toast. The phone in the room was for decoration only and wasn't plugged in to use. The door doesn't close by itself so you had to force it shut. Facility isn't handicap accessible. No vending machines either except for what's sold in their "market" and nothing was diet or zero sugar. The "blanket" on the bed was a fancy textured sheet.

They must be undergoing a renovation. The hall carpet looks new. The breakfast was adequate. The hotel is located near the interstate. There is a space for a rack to hang clothes, but there was no bar/rack for the hangers.
The hall carpet looks new, but there were doors (unattached) leaning against the walls in the hallway. The door had a bolt lock' but not the hardware to turn the lock. The glass doors to the outside do not appear to have been cleaned for a long time. I don't believe the front desk was manned 24 hrs but the doors to the outside were not secured. And perhaps I did not read correctly as I thought there was daily room service. Daily room cleaning didn't occur.

It was a safe place to stay that was close to where I was visiting.
The hotel is in bad shape. It looks like they are attempting to remodel but everything is falling apart. Was not worth the money I paid.
7.0 / 10.0
The staff was outstanding! The path to the facility was very strange and not clear. This is not the facility fault but was still a challenge. There were issues though like, the door to the parking lot was not secure. The key reader was present but the door didn’t lock.
The security level. Not that the facility is in a bad area but the lock to the parking lot didn’t work and there were many blind spots that could make it feel less secure

It was clean and the lobby was unique.
The parking area was questionable
1.0 / 10.0
The floors were dirty. The door didn't lock. Asked for another room, which was granted. The refrigerator was missing. The air was damp and had an odor. Breakfast was very poor. The only other couple there expressed their dis-satisfaction as well. We checked out after one night and went to another place.

The price for what we got was decent
Horrible location. Reviews did not match what we expected. The building is being renovated but not finished. There was obvious construction equipment left in sight. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut because it wasn’t installed correctly. Everything looked new as far as appliances and decoration. Breakfast was a joke and there was no one at the front desk unless you rang the bell. We were one of maybe 3 rooms being used.

Clean, convenient too on first floor near breakfast area. Parking close to entrance.
Very difficult to locate. Must drive into shopping center parking lot to find property!
10.0 / 10.0
Very clean property and perfect for a night stay to get off the road! I loved how the had such a variety of breakfast options from sausage, eggs, toast, muffins, to tougher and coffee plus tea and fruit and granola! Definitely would recommend to others.
The only thing I didn’t like is getting to the property I don’t know if I took a wrong turn, yet the gps took me through the store parking lot.

The rooms were very clean, beds excellent and breakfast was very good. Great value. Front desk clerk made sure we had everything we needed.
You could tell they were going through a renovation so the outside does not look as good as the inside.

Bed was kinda comfy

The bed was comfortable and they have the good pillows. Everything was clean.
It was right next to the interstate. The road getting into the hotel parking lot was kind of weird. It went through a strip mall parking lot.

I don't know because I wasn't allowed to check in
When I showed the manager my booking he said I couldn't check in because the reservation would take 2 hours to come through. He didn't care that I had both in app and an email confirmation from booking.com. I've seen it take 5-10 minutes for a 3rd party reservation to reach the motel, but never 2 hours. It was almost 9pm and I'd been driving all day. When I argued with him he called the police on me and there was a whole scene. The local police told me that this guy is always calling the cops on guests for no reason. I had an officer witness the manager's promise to not charge my account for the room I didn't use. I went to the other side of town and paid directly for a room for the night.
Ultimately I wasn't charged, but the whole experience was ridiculous.
I highly recommend you avoid this motel.

Its proximity to highway makes it a little loud not terrible but noticeable.

Hreint, rúmið frábært og starfsfólk vingjarnlegt.
Voru vandræði með sturtuna, engin hárblásari á herbergi og jógurt og ávextir búnir þegar að við komum í morgunverð um 8 leytið a sunnudagsmorgni.
