Great overnight stay.
Room was very clean and comfortable. Only issue was a loud fan on the heater. Great value for the room rate.

Carpets were dirty. Junk piled on sidewalk in front of some rooms. No deadbolt or other security lock on room door. Bathtub was peeling.

Barely adequate
Parts of the room were very clean, other parts were filthy (behind the nightstand, the window sill in the shower). The porcelain tub must have been sealed at 1 point and the sealant was pulling up. The walls were literally paper thin. No blanket at all. Just a sheet and thin old fashioned bedspread!

Not for the picky...but adequate lodging. Management was friendly. Heat worked okay...tub faucet wouldnt shut off. Lots of ice available but machine was dirty. We got a good nights sleep. Kinda cute motor hotel. With some work it could be nice.

the owners are really nice, the place is clean, and the price is good, so I hate to write a bad review. But there are problems. If you use a sound machine set on max, you’ll love it here. If not, you’ll hate the road and railroad noise as well as hearing your neighbors thru thin walls. And the very noisy HVAC turning on and off. And the WiFi is FAR slower than just using your cell. World Wide Wait.

Ok for an old motel
The clerk was very nice upon check-in. This is an older “roadside” motel so honestly, I wasn’t expecting a lot. As I am a smoker, I can always tell when a non-smoking room has been smoked in for years and their attempt to cover it up is a little overwhelming. I was very disappointed having to listen to the heater run all night long as the “auto” function was not working so choices where high or low. It said it offered breakfast, but we never found where that was and at 6:30am, the lobby was still closed.

Perfect for the price.
As a male traveling alone the decor is not important to me. Comfort, cleanliness of the room and bathroom are. I was totally satisfied with the room. And those complaining about traffic noise it's on a major US highway. I just used a sleep fan app and slept fine. Room had a mini fridge, microwave & coffee pot. Neat little town with a nice steakhouse. I will probably come back the next time I head this direction.

Noisy but nice
Quaint, older motel, but maintained well and was clean. Staff was excellent. Very friendly and professional. Only major complaint was the noise. Trains, semis and cars all night. Paper thin walls mean you can hear everything (including next door baby crying half the night). Obviously there’s nothing the staff can do about their location. Overall a decent stay...and at the price point, it’s hard to beat.

Retro motel
I imagine this motel was built in the 50’s. It has been fairly well cared for. We had a room with two queen beds. It was spacious and unique. Interesting color scheme... 😄

Lackluster
Train track noise throughout the night, and shabby carpet and linens didn't warrant even the moderate price I paid. There was a burn hole in the bed spread and mascara stain on a towel. Bring earplugs

It had everything needed for an overnight stay. It was clean. Left early before breakfast was open. Unfortunately something perfumed or scented was used and I have an allergy to that.

ice stay
The service, room, cleanliness were all what I would expect. We didn’t interact with staff other than for check in. We did not go for breakfast as we left earlier than it was served. All was appropriate for the cost. Only drawback was the noise from the highway, we just kept the heater fan on to run constantly

Nothing Unique, price seemed good. But, it turns out this location is very close to Multiple Beef Feedlots. Plus the Train through Dalhart, TX is less than 1.5 blocks behind the motel. Rt 54 is in front, so Road noise by Semi's & autos are only a little less than the train whistles. We did have a working fridge & Microwave. Linens were OK, room condition was OK. Walls between rooms were not very thick. There were only 3 cars in the parking lot with approx. 20 rooms. We checked in 1st and yet the 2nd ck in folks were put right next door to us. It seemed awkward for us to hear shower, toilet etc, and I guess they heard all the same noises from our room. We thought the owners could have left some space between us, considering only 3 cars. Lastly, only cold cereal, honey buns & coffee, milk, & orange juice for Continental Breakfast. We skipped it and went to McDonald's. Oh, Floor in Bathroom was sticky...

Overpriced Overrated
The room was over priced for location and amenities- the pillows were average at best, the bed was ok. The WiFi was useless in the room, guest had to be outside to use WiFi. For about $15 or $20 less it would have been a better value. I was given considerable grief concerning my service dog, ultimately it was resolved.
