Pretty good

Very clean for the price. Very nice, accommodating staff. No strange smells in the room or in the bed which is really nice, usually booking via 3rd party apps gets you the crappy rooms but all the appliances worked well, there were toiletries and clean linens in the bathroom. Not sure about breakfast or where it would have been since I missed it.

This motel is old and tired, rather like Keokuk. The room was a musty odor. The AC unit barely worked. The bathroom was dimly lit. The writing desk was oversized for the room. Nice to use, but too big for the space. All in all, adequate for me, but my wife would never stay there. I chose the Chief because it is within easy walking distance to the house that I grew up in.

The room was clean and smelled nice. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The management was kind and available whenever we needed them. We had a very pleasant stay and would stay there again. The only complaint I heard from my husband was about the road noise. There is a stop light right in front of the hotel and the occasional engine breaks were loud. Even with that, we would stay again because of the excellent value for the money.
