I love this hotel. I visit a few times through the year with my significant other. It’s a great off the freeway location without all the highway noise. We travel with our dog and enjoy crossing over to the flying flags to take frequent walks. This last visit, the bar was hosting the World Cup which was fun, and had lots of great energy. Love the donuts available in the morning.

The staff was great and the coffee/pastries in the morning were clutch. The two complaints I have are that the floors were dirty, mostly the bathroom floor and the roar of the freeway at night kept me up. We even sleep with a sound machine for the kids. The convenience and proximity of the hotel to the flying flags campsite is the best draw.

Clean rooms. Grounds are well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. Casino is a 15 minute uber away. The bar at the motel is great. This is my second time staying at this motel. I highly recommend going to the Hitching Post restaurant which is an easy 15-minute walk away. I will definitely stay there again.
