Parking lots were covered in snow piles making it difficult to gather my belongings to my room. The internet given to us wasn't available to use and due to the random service going out makes it difficult to do my things online.
This property was absolutely horrible. It was very dirty. There was animal pee marks throughout the carpet. when we arrive to check in, we walked in to the front desk we rang the bell we’ve called rang the bell multiple times we were there for about 35 40 minutes before somebody comes walking into the office to help us check in our room. We asked her why nobody was in the office. She said she was out doing laundry! in a completely other part of the building.
Excellent restful sleep thanks so much. We will come visit again.

This hotel has two properties on the same street. On Expedia.com shows photos of the newer on, but our room was assigned the old one. The appearance made us wanted to look for other hotels, but we were too tired to do so after 8 hours driving in a frigid air. Inside of the room was clean with updated bathroom/a sink/a large countertop. Found no microwave/refrigerator in the room which were on the Expedia images. The lady at the front desk bought one to our room from the other property. I was so grateful for her prompt action along with a good assortment of breakfast items including whole wheat items. A gas station is conveniently across from this motel.
Room was clean and comfortable. Fine for one night.
Property is very run down. Breakfast was included but lobby was locked and closed in the morning so we were unable to access. Disappointing. Help arrived at 7:40am. Breakfast was supposed to be avail at 7am. Tried to contact manager but no response. Next time we will pay a little bit more and find a better spot.

Only good for a quick sleep, no WiFi or breakfast
Bad WiFi, not enough to use a website. Dirty. We did like the layout of the double room, which had a separate sleeping alcove for one of the beds. Also, we’re informed that breakfast started at 7:00 in the morning, and the front office was still closed at 8:00 when we left.
We had a late check-in (didn’t arrive until 11:30 pm) and the owner waited up for us to assist us. Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the breakfast options weren’t amazing. But other than that it was great value for the price.
Small hotel, the staff was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed!!

Missing a towel.
Breakfast room locked 1 hour after advertised time.
No one answered phone numbers posted on front door when help was needed.
Bed was wobbly and leaning to one side. Needed replacing.
Soap was so thin it broke apart in shower.
TV was difficult to work and DISH screen was on all night long - no shut off.
Desk manager was very nice, courteous as was her husband who managed a sister-property up the street. Couldn’t have been kinder. That’s what surprised us when we got into our room.
Michelle, the front desk staff, was so warm and welcoming that she set the tone for a lovely stay. Close walking distance to restaurants, casinos, city hall and churches.
