i’d give it ZERO stars if i could…
the room smelled like stale cigarettes and mildew. we walked in and there was a cigarette butt on the floor by the bed. checked the bed for bugs and didn’t see any signs but the mattress was stained and there was reddish brown (hopefully not blood) stains on the bedframe itself. there was a picture frame on the wall that the glass was cracked. there was a questionable liquid stain on the window curtain (if ya catch my drift). splatters of only god knows what all over the walls. hair all inside the shower on the walls. none of the mirrors had been wiped down or cleaned. there were 2 washcloths and 2 towels (floor mat size, not full body or big enough to even wrap around a body) so my boyfriend asked if we could have a couple more to use for our hair, body and to keep one on the floor outside the shower as a mat and we were told no we could only use what was in there so we ended up going to Walmart to buy some towel to use. there were cigarette burns in the sheets and the pillows smelled awful. seemed like a cute place online which is why i booked it (and being the most affordable for the weekend which is crazy because it was still $230 for 2 nights) but was quickly turned off once we opened the door to the room. came in town for the Vikings game and thank god we were only sleeping there. i’d definitely book elsewhere unless you are absolutely desperate for a place and have no other options. i don’t think any of my pics need a description as they speak for themselves…

You get what you pay for!
I will start with the short list of pros. It was cheap and close to Broadway. That’s it. The cons are the rooms are in dire need of many many repairs. Bed was stiff, sheets were itchy and questionable cleanliness. Pillows were pancakes, bath towels were literally thread bare. I’m almost positive our floor hadn’t been mopped in at least 6 months or more. Underneath the bed had dead roaches, used prophylactics wrappers, among food wrappers. Our sink was literally hanging off the bathroom wall. Gaps around the door, smelled of decades old smoke and mildew. We stayed in a king size room 132 to be exact. My mom stayed in a double room with my grandma and we both had similar experiences. We only stayed 1 night. Will not be back unless it’s HEAVILY REMODELED and repaired. To be honest the hotel is condemnable condition in my opinion. If you want cheap….you’re definitely gonna get it here. But you certainly won’t get clean or comfortable.

Close enough to the major attraction to be ok
Sheets and bed were clean and comfortable although old. Room had been used in a video years ago so history there. Only 1 hot tub room and we pd extra for it for hot tub to be dirty and unusable. Feel some discount should have been offered especially when asking for a good review. Out of date yet cheap and friendly... Close to Broadway area (honky tonk area)

The staff was friendly and polite. That's the only positive. The rooms smell like decades of smoking. There's holes in the walls, the bedding and pillows were dirty. The floor was like walking on grease and dirt. The neighborhood was sketchy but the locals were friendly. While we were there it was super loud so no one could sleep and in the morning someone was being rolled out on a stretcher likely due to a drug overdose.

Highly NOT RECOMMENDED
Horrible experience. If a representative wants to reach out to me, great. Worst stay I have ever experienced. I have many pictures to provide for my accusations of why this was horrible.

Repairs needed
The room was nice enough, and the beds were very comfortable. However, there were some negatives as well..1)water in the sink backed up and didn't want to go down..2) the commode wasn't bolted down good, so it would rock from side to side while you were on it..3)the floors were absolutely filthy because our feet were completely black..4) there was also at least a 2" gap under the outside door that a snake, rat, or?? could come in. It wasn't that bad for the price, but with a few repairs it could be really good.

Great history
Not a clean room . Tub was missing part , shelf hanging by a nail & some wierd looking stuff on the walls. Bedding had burn holes and stains . The outside was very nice ! Some might be taken back by the area . I felt totally safe . Location is right off of I-40 and close ti the venue i was going to. If only they would use some paint , a few hand tools and a broom it would be a great motel. I did NOT see any bugs during my stay .

Its an older style facility, so keep that in mind when you visit. The facility was quiet. Traffic on the main road could be noisy though. Coin-operated Laundry facilities onsite which is handy. Staff were nice & it was well priced.

Get what you pay for.
Check in was great. Staff was super nice…. They tried renovating the room (new beds, dresser, night stand, floors). Don’t walk around bare foot though. Knew we’d be wearing sandals/slippers soon as we got there. Bed was clean and new it seemed. So were the sheets, blankets and pillows. Though it was a queen sized frame with a full size mattress. So you slammed your leg/shin/knee/ankle getting in and off it cause there’s gaps between the frame and mattress. And other people dropped things in so under the bed is filthy if you look down…. Sitting on the toilet noticed feces in the floor tile grout and on the back of the door…. Fridge worked properly. Fridge and microwave were spotless (clean)…. People definitely live there. But they were quiet, and friendly. Didn’t feel unsafe at all…. There’s a laundry room, but we didn’t go in it or use it. Locals were doing their laundry so I assume it works.
