The room was about what you expect for $80 but you expect the room to be clean at any price point. Hair in the sink and shower, dirty toilet, generally dirty. The only edible breakfast was a handful of cereal bars.

Shouldn’t the jelly, peanut butter, butter be in individual packets? Same as milk. Instant oatmeal was not refilled. No sugar packets. Our room a bulb needed replacing and tub drained very poorly. We liked the quiet and price reasonable. I was looking for a hair dryer but didn’t ask. So my fault. Towels were clean etc I hope for safety sake cement is replaced in the front of the building

Rather spendy for the condition: the entry door was hard to close(door striking jam); bathroom door drug across raised tiles to the point that the front and back panels were loose from the frame a foot and a half up, the finish was worn off the handle and was loose st some point wearing the door face around the escutcheon; the electrical outlets were worn out, wouldn't securely hold phone chargers; there was a note that the sheets were clean but may have stains that didn't come out in the laundry; on the eco side of things, they did only change linens every third day unless otherwise requested.

Comfortable Stay and Very Nice for the price!
When I booked this I had low expectations for what I've encountered in smaller towns. My cousin recommended staying here over nearby towns since this place seemed to be the best of other choices. My Uncle had told me there was a separate building built in recent years to add more rooms. My room was in the new separate building. I have stayed in Hotels of the same price range as I paid for this, but were not as nice. While this was a Motel, I felt like my stay was in a Hotel in a pricier room of a bigger city. The breakfast consisted of choices of cold cereal (with milk), toast, peanut butter, jelly, and orange or apple juice, along with a few breakfast snacks. The town itself is less than 2,000 population. There is a Casey's across the road within walking distance, and combo convenience/grocery store, and a 3rd convenience store. You don't always find this in smaller towns. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in need of a Motel/Hotel in the area. The photos below are of the room I stayed in, and are reflective of what is advertised on the Hotels.com website.

It's just a place to sleep when visiting the area. Beds are okay. Service is okay. Cleanliness is okay. Maintenance is less than okay. Breakfast is little more than coffee. Not many options unless you want to drive another 20 miles north to Mitchell.

Negative Stars
I booked this room for my son as he was passing through. I though he was alone, so booked for one guest. He had a friend with him, and after getting checked into the room the front desk lady came banging on his door demanding more money for the second guest. I paid for the room over the phone and the motel had my phone number so she should have contacted me. He didn't have the money so they had to leave, yet i still got charged. Terrible service, horrible experience, crappy employees. Save your time and money and stay anywhere else.

Dear Guest, we apologize for your uncomfortable experience but just to clear some things up, the reservation was made for one person, while there were 4 adults to check in for that room, we didn’t ask for more money but explained that had you have disclosed exact number of people while booking, you would have gotten charged more, we had the credit card on file but we never intended nor we have charged an extra fee for exceeding the occupancy. Also the guests stayed the night and checked out after 10am the following morning. Thank you.

Family wedding
The motel was as expected. They have a huge assortment of rooms-handicapped to 2 beds plus a sofa bed or twin. We stayed in the deluxe part. Clean but parts were haphazard (i.e.bedskirt hanging). Continental breakfast affected by covid so not their fault. We ate elsewhere anyway. Served our purpose (family wedding).

Like nothing other then it was close to Tripp. The hotel was disgusting!!!! There was blood on the toilet handle, the wall, carpet and there was also mold on the shower curtain. The room was so dirty!!!!! We checked in after 9:00pm and left shortly after 1:00am because it was so bad and we needed to find a better place to stay!!! We asked for our money back but we’re told we couldn’t Because we had been there 8 hours which was not correct because any way you figure it 9pm to 1am is not 8 hours. We had 2 rooms and they both were so incredibly disgusting!!!!! We were very disappointed with the room and with the service we should have gotten our money back for how bad it was!!!!! Never ever going to stay or recommend this hotel to anyone not even our worse enemy!!!!!! The worst place ever!!!

The room was relatively clean. Sheets and towel are not high quality but they were clean. Lamps and chairs were all pushed against the walls and in the closet area. Good for vacuuming but looked very strange in the room. There was a giant push broom that stayed at the top of the stairs or in the hallway every day. We stayed for 3 nights and our soap was never replenished. The last night, the door to the supply closet was left wide open and we helped ourselves. Breakfast was very bare bones. The coffee pot was empty every time we were in there. Our options were limited based on proximity to where we were visiting, but my opinion is it’s overpriced even for the area.
