Manager was very friendly and had a good sense of humor. Even though the room was very small and very close to other rooms, there was no real noise. They were sold out, so all of the rooms were full, but I was not bothered by other guests. I enjoyed my stay!

Stay far, far away

Dark and dingy, not to mention the bedbugs (yuck). Towel racks fall to the floor with the weight of the bath towel, which is the size of a hand towel. Furnishings look like they haven’t been updated since hotel was new decades ago. I travelled around the world for a year with my two young kids, including many third-world countries, and never experienced lodging as disgusting as this motel. Hotels.com would do everyone a favor by delisting this property from their website. Only stayed here because all other lodging in town was sold-out.

Run as fast as you can from this place-I have stayed in a lot of places in my 70 years nothing compares to this place as in scary -the first thing thing that greeted me was the fresh smell of bug killer that was to the point of rendering me sick-I immediately booked another room elsewhere and left

Weeds in parking lot, first thought it's abandoned. Old everything, bathroom tiny, toilet like crapping in a coffee cup. Shower way small. Beds ok, sheets very loose fitting. tv poor reception. Will go somewhere else next time in Grand rapids mn. To bad there is potential. It would only take thousands of dollars and skilled labor to fix up.

Room was very dusty. I stayed 4 nights, my garbage was never removed from the room & I never was given fresh towels. I get reusing bed sheets but come on I'm a working man could use a new towel especially when you get ONE. I won't be back

Budget Hotel, don’t expect too much. Room was ok, small bathroom was fine. A little stain on the carpet and arm of the chair. TV was ok, A/C worked, though had to figure it out. Temp was in C not F. It is right off the main road, so a fair bit of traffic noise. I had noise cancelling earbuds I wore overnight, which were great for not being bothered by the noise outside. The man who checked me in was professional, courteous and friendly. There was a kitty in the office, but she was very cautious and didn’t want to be touched by anyone. She was not threatening or anything, just clearly curious about what was going on.
