The bed was to small. A deep clean should be done. Lightbulbs burnt out, bathroom fan unplugged , and the list goes on. The hotel In general has not been updated in 10+ years. And the grounds around the hotel needs attention as well

Room was kind of dark. There was a railway nearby but it was surprisingly quiet. Nice to have a cafe attached however the kitchen staff were new and needed more training. But we made the best of it.

We stayed at this little truck stop for a quick overnight on a long drive. It’s definitely a no-frills spot. The room was simple but not the cleanest—there was a lingering smell of cigarettes despite it being marked non-smoking, and the overall feel was a bit run-down. The TV only had limited cable channels, so not much to watch if you’re hoping to unwind. We also tried the on-site restaurant, and unfortunately, it wasn’t great. The food was mediocre at best and felt overpriced for what was offered—definitely not worth the convenience. That said, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated after a long day on the road. If you’re just looking for a place to crash for the night and don’t mind a very basic setup, it’ll do in a pinch—but I’d probably look for something a bit more comfortable next time.

Present check in, property was clean but older and had some fixture issues that could use fixing/ updating. It was nice to have my dogs feel welcome on the stay with special treats. Fairly clean, couldn’t get and invoice for my pet fee but that’s my only issue

We stayed here 10 years ago and I swear nothing has been done since then. Pillows were like lumpy footballs, carpet wasn’t even vacuumed, beds had a huge dip in the center and old towel from previous tenants still in the room.
