The clerk was very helpful in giving directions to dining and such. The fuel stop next door was great, with very good breakfast options, and the eating establishment in town had great food at reasonable prices, and great service--very friendly. Location was very convenient to both 281 and I90, and in close proximity to a major town.

The motel has a different name. Pulled up at night and lights were flickering giving Bates Motel vibes! A biker in the parking lot told us not to stay there but there was no place else to go at the time. Had to call a personal phone # to get a desk clerk. She came out in shorts and dirty tank top with no bra or shoes. Didn’t check id or credit card. I do have to point out that the room was a little better than the rest of the building. Bare wires exposed, rust and holes in the walls. would not sleep under blankets…yuck! Locked ourselves in the room and was concerned for the safety of the car. But the biker was outside with about 10 bikes all night and he kept an eye on our stuff as well. Just stay away!!!!!!

Called for assistance or "assitance". When you are an employee checking in maybe dress a little more appropriately. Barefoot, crop top and belly hanging out with no bra in my opinion is not too professional. Rooms were more on the gross side and the Continental breakfast consisted of 1/4 loaf of bread and a community jar of PB and I am going to bet the coffee was not freshly made all weekend and drink it black or not at all. Unfortunately I won't be staying here again. Learned some other things about this place but I won't put thar out the for others to read because it was not my own experience. Was just told by others in town. This could be a decent place to stay if a little effort was put in. Never saw staff after that and we were in and out.
