Breakfast needs work, but great stay
Great experience with all the staff, super nice and friendly.
Breakfast needs work; eggs were runny and selection of other items was limited.

Everything we needed
The room was spacious, well-kept, the bed comfortable, We keep the fan on when we stay in hotels so we don't hear other guests and had no problem here either. Check-in desk person was polite, considerate and helpful. Breakfast was standard with waffles if you want to make them. The neighborhood is fine with many eating establishments within a mile, Prairie Meadows casino and track is across the street, but it was quiet. It was as advertised.

Good enough!
Listen, this isn't gonna be the fanciest hotel you ever stay at...but if you need a fairly cheap hotel for a quick stay, this one is just fine. Staff was friendly enough, it was clean enough, and felt safe enough. Breakfast was decent as well!

The room was very clean and we loved how big the bathroom was. It would have been nice to have a adjustable shower head but it had decent water pressure. The linen smelled clean but the bed was very hard. We would recommend this place just for the cleanliness and staff friendliness.
