It was a great place to stay after a hot day of driving with No a/c. It was nothing special and seemed a little old and worn. It was great for what we needed (air conditioned room, a shower, and a bed). Definitely not a terrible place, but nothing particularly special either.
Clean rooms. Coffee, micro, tv and fridge in room. , free breakfast, let us park our mc's under the carport. You could tell the owners take pride in their hotel.

Lovely new design of creating a kitchen & counter top. Nice refrigerator, dish washer & microwave. Great bed & linens. Quiet!!
The staff, especially Mike, were extremely helpful and supportive. What could have been a hopeless situation for me was handled professionally and I’m so grateful! The rooms were comfortable and clean. I would definitely return.
Hotel was not fancy but it was very clean and had all the basics anyone needs. The room had a full size fridge, sink, and microwave which made it very convenient to store and heat left overs. Bed was very comfortable and I slept well all 4 nights. I would stay here again. Thank you!
The girl who is the only employee working in the motel hasn't been professionally trained to serve in the hospitality business of US. It is very much like a family business. Breakfast is underserved as the girl busy talking on the phone in the lobby. We have to push her to refill the egg and sausages. There is an unpleasant carpet smell in the room. Housekeeper isn't supposed to enter our room when we weren't there during daytime, but they did.
Very comfortable and clean. I appreciated that you could open the windows wide.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was nice. Room was quiet despite being on the first floor. The hotel is getting old but still comfortable. Good, if you just need a place to sleep.
The staff were so helpful and accommodating! Always had a smile! Breakfast was good! Eggs,toast,sausage and more! The room was awesome! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you all!
Very easy on/off I-80. Staff were very friendly and made sure our stay was pleasant. It was a very quiet area, the sheets were incredibly soft, the hot tub was hot, breakfast was good. Only minor complaint is the hot tub concrete is super rough - as in abrade your skin rough.
Excellent stay for a last minute stop on our road trip. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful when we checked in, and our room was clean and roomy enough fot the 4 of us. The pool looked nice, although we didn't have time to use it.
Breakfast was typical hotel fare - waffles, eggs, sausage links, oatmeal, yogurt, cold cereal, bagels...
