Nice surprise
I reserved online. When we pulled up, honestly, I was nervous. I will admit that I am a bit of “A Princess and a Pea” sometimes, but the room was comfortable and clean as a whistle. A bit quirky for sure, but I would absolutely stay again.

Fair for price
Room was spacious but ac unit did not cool off the size of the room so had to ask for a fan that management provided.

Good place for a night rest
A nice quick stop for gas and overnight rest just before you back on the road. Not a luxurious place to stay but good enought to stop and get some sleep.

Fast check in and check out. Room was clean and had a kitchen that was fully stocked. The store was within feet of the room and it was easy to stock up on food and supplies.

Provided room looked right across into gas station. Was worried about noise but thankfully not to much at night. OK, for a small-town motel. The design of the room was really liked with the nice kitchenette. Carpet was very dated but attendant said they are in process of replacing.

2/10 Poor

My son and I stayed there because we were going on our first backpacking trip. At around 9 PM I discovered that the latch on the window did not lock. I stuck my pole in the window and carried on. It was a street level room so I consider that to be very unsafe. In the morning I did report it to one of the workers and he denied that it was broken. I asked him to follow me and we would check it out. He refused because he was working the cash register at the gas station. He was very rude about the whole situation and was mad at me for reporting it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room was large with two double beds and a single, plus dining area. The room was spotless and real care had been taken in getting it ready eg the way the towels and toiletries had been set out. The staff at the store where you check in and out were friendly and helpful and the store itself has everything we needed re food and drinks. We went to the Copper Top BBQ down the road for food - definitely recommended.

Pluses -- was assigned a very quiet room with a comfortable bed. Manager works at the gas station next door in this small town. Minuses -- this is a very ordinary property with no decor or upgrades. Should be less pricey.

The room had all the amenities that i needed. The bathroom was super clean and the bath products were great quality and easy to access. It was nice and convenient that the general store was part of the campus. I was very happy to park my car right outside the room! It gave me peace of mind! I had a great time there!
