I booked two queen beds and upon arrival they gave me a queen bed and a little futon. We check out within 10 minutes and went further down the road to the motel 6 which was pretty decent

El joven de front desk fue muy amable y rápido. Las sábanas y toallas de la habitación olían bastante mal, la nevera estaba sucia y con mal olor. Los alrededores están muy bien y es un área tranquila.

We were set to drive in very close to the midnight closing time for check in. We called ahead and the staff helped us be sure our family with 3 young kids had a room and a good nights sleep when we arrived. Grateful for a nice stay in Shelby, IA.

A very comfortable place to stay. The manager, Melissa, works very hard to keep things homey and clean. Unfortunately, the lack of modernizing, unmatched and old furniture, and overall upkeep make it feel like a motel from the 80’s.

Check-in was a bit of a trial due to some problems with billing, but the staff worked hard and got it resolved. They were very helpful. The room and motel were fine - with one small criticism.The bedframe was slightly larger than the bed, and I kept stubbing my toe on it! Maybe I'm just a klutz - otherwise, the room was good and we enjoyed our stay.

I think the owners are trying hard to make this a nice place. However, I think they should spend a nite in each room to find out what that room needs.

I travel with my older 50 lb dog so it is not always easy to find places to stay where I can get her a walk and efficient middle of the night potty breaks. This place fit our needs perfectly. Right off an exit on I-80 Ample grassy area for doggy potty breaks and sniffing. Motel type... like old Americana/Station wagon days Not fancy but everything I needed.

Ok value for the price, mattress was comfortable, pillows were flat flat flat! No handsoap by the hand washing sink, no hair dryer, only a banquet chair to sit on -There isn’t a deadbolt on the door - a little in nerving since it is an outside entrance motel-I would possibly stay again but know I would need to bring along items of convenience.

Hidden gem in the rough. Protect this place!!
I absolutely love when I find these hidden gems of motels!! Small family ran motel in a RV park. Clean comfortable room. Can park in front of your door if downstairs. Very friendly staff. Has a very quaint and homey feel to it. Almost like spending the night at your distant family home without all the drama!!. I will definitely be back when in the area. Only downside is very limited places to eat but not very far drive and well worth the extra comfort and fair price.

This is a 1 star hotel , not sure where the reviews came from but we were shocked based on the reviews , the condition of this hotel . It is very old and tired , and it actually did not feel all that safe , there were quite a few people hanging out who looked to be more or less permanently living there or in the RV park attached to it . I do not recommend you have this hotel on your list

This is a nice hotel for the price. I stayed at others for more and they were alot worse. Highly recommend if you are not looking for the amenities of a pool or continental breakfast. Sometimes while traveling this is all I am looking for. Wish this one was where I take CEU's sometimes.
