"The room and the entire property were really clean! The breakfast room was super clean too and there were enough varieties of items for a nice breakfast. Staff was extremely helpful, kind/courteous. Ample parking. It's located close to the interstate which is convenient but there's really no pretty scenery to speak of....That wasn't an issue for us as we were only staying one night and sleep was the main requirement. It wasn't noisy. No problems with internet either.
We stayed one night on our way through to our destination and had a room with a smart TV but on the way back, our room didn't have a smart TV. No big deal but I asked about it and, as suspected, at this point, some rooms had it and some didn't. (Budgetary restrictions.) Just be aware you might experience that little point.
Having worked in the hospitality industry, (sales & management) I look for things a lot of people don't. While this certainly isn't a 4-star hotel, you are getting a very nice room & property for a very good price.
Things change quickly in the hotel industry---as if this writing (June 29, 2026) I'd highly recommend this property. Good bang for the buck!"
"Due to remodeling in progress there was considerable dust everywhere. Work being done in the room next to us until about midnight sounded like rats in the wall. Otherwise we were comfortable. Check in host spoke poor english, that along with my poor hearing made it a little difficult for me. "
"Great old hotel! Really nice area and you can’t beat the price. If you are looking for modern and ritzy, this ain’t the place for you. If you are looking for a throwback, classic old hotel with character, give it a try!"
"This place was an absolute perfect fit for what we set out to accomplish with our time in the Loess hills. If you would like to plan a tour through the beautiful scenery of the Loess hills byway then this property will be perfectly suited as a base camp for your sightseeing adventure."
