“I booked pay at hotel with Expedia in late 2025. On January 5th I called the hotel to see if I could pay ahead of time. That request was accepted. I show up on April 20th, 2026 and at checkin, the lady helping me says I owe for the night. I told her that I paid already. Another woman working hears the conversation and says it’s not paid. I continue to explain the situation. Then I’m referred to another woman (owner), according to the original person assisting me. I briefly explain that the room has been paid for. Well she disagrees and starts with an even worse tone and attitude. And she ends with “I’m not going to argue with you “. I’m trying to find the mix up not argue. I pay and then proceed to get my information together. My credit union says payment was released on 1-5-26. I go and show the original person helping me and now I have to call and speak with a more helpful person that was referred to me. We will see what happens ”

“The best thing about this motel is the diner that it is a part of. The biggest issue with our room was the bathroom was so tiny. When you sit at the toilet your legs are under the sink. If you were a bigger person I don't know that you could even use it. It is definitely dated and the TV is a ROKU so if you don't know anything about steaming TV, you wouldn't know how to use it. The only window would not lock from the inside. It had storm windows, but otherwise you couldn't lock them. The bathroom fan was super loud and squeaked. The room was clean. The best thing about this stay was the food. The breakfast they give you is at the diner and it was excellent. We also ate dinner there and it was also excellent. The staff at the diner, which also handle check in and out, were very friendly and accommodating. For a traveling overnight stay it is ok. ”

“They have attempted to update but have a ways to go. The room was dusty. There was no hair dryer. ”

“They got a real nice place there. ”

“Yes”

“We stayed here for 1 night. We got king size bed which was very comfortable. Overall room and bathroom was ok, needs some updating but ok for 1 night. Breakfast which is included in the room charge was very good. Great staff. ”

“For a motel on the interstate it was very decent and clean no issues the staff was friendly and they have a good breakfast. Just a place to spend the night at a regional cost and the comfortable room. Nothing in the proximity except for a gas station which has a good selection of snacks”
