Bathroom faucet sprayed water allover when turned on. Bathroom fan dirty and made terrible noise, couldn't use. Smoke detector was setting behind tv and looked broken. Window curtains covered up the fan on AC unit.
The bed was great got a good nights sleep.

Bathroom floor tile broken and missing pieces.Window Curtains too long and cover AC unit.
You get what you pay for with quality of rooms and beds. Fine for a single night stay on our way home from a long road trip. Staff are very kind and helpful; some of the best we encountered.
Old fashioned key entry, key didn't work in dead bolt, and deadbolt barely closed from inside.
Toilet kept "flowing" so bowl would "fill" itself about every 30 sec to a min (very loudly).
Hot water was very difficult to find in shower, and temp was barely above warm as it was, and kept going cold every time toilet "filled" itself.
Very outdated. They use regular keys instead of card keys. The room itself is clean and nice but when I pulled up I thought I was back in the 70s. Front desk clerk was awesome

The hotel itself was a little dated, and google maps took me to the wrong spot, but once that was cleared up, it was good. The pillows were a little flat for my tastes, but I also blame myself for that since I know I am really particular about pillows and forgot to bring my own from home. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My only big gripe was that the hot water took quite a while to get warm when the shower is first turned on. The AC was cool and worked well which was good since the high was in the 90s for the weekend I was there.
We have stayed here 2 times on our trips from Utah to Montana. It is the perfect halfway point! The rooms were large and quite comfortable. Their prices were lower than other motels on the same street. Everything was clean and all the beading (blankets, sheets and quilts were brand new. We will continue to stay here on our travels north!
The gentleman who checked us in was kind and polite. He had a great sense of humor and he held a ground floor room for us just as I requested when I made the booking. Che k in could t have been easier.
