A very good stay. Hotel was recently updated and comfortable. Bot ice machines were malfunctioning during our stay, but staff made ice available on request to help alleviate the inconvenience. Great hotel for the price and we will be returning here next year!

There were no soap or shampoo or conditioner. All the ice makers were broken. There were no working coffee are. You really need step it up and make better. I would never stay there again.

6/10

The room was clean - nice vinyl plank flooring, very modern/updated, with a microwave and fridge, easily accessible from I-80. That said, the pillows were the flattest I've ever seen in a hotel, there was no drain stopper for the bathtub/shower, and the bathroom sink light/mirror was on the fritz like a strobelight. There was no coffeemaker or blowdryer in the room. The rest of the hotel was in disrepair - chipped paint on the walls and handrails, no working ice maker to be found, no elevator, and weird guards on the stair treads. The courtyard to the pool was full of weeds. This made for an unpleasant experience, and not worth the $105.

i'm disapointed that this place can charge a competitive rate but do not offer even a small breakfast and most of the time no coffee is availlable. however, the staff is very friendly and this motel is convenient to the truck stop. the rooms are beautiful and always clean .
