Standard roadside motel, reasonably comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the excellent ice machine on the very hot day we were there. Playground is probably ready to be torn down, seemed a bit unsafe.

We asked a few times to repair the toilet because it did not stop running. It was never fixed. The towels were small and thin. And only one small bar of soap and one shampoo were provided. We had to ask for more. I was disappointed.

Good deal for the money.

Rooms are dated but clean. You can hear traffic noise well so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs. The pool looked great but we didn’t get a chance to use it.

Not the best place and will never stay here again!

I will never stay here again!! I booked and paid for a queen bed and he gave me a room with 2 double beds. I asked him to honor my reservation and he said too bad - things happen. The street noise is horrible so don't expect a quiet night sleep!

Avoid at ALL Costs

I have stayed in 100s of hotels/motels in the USA and Europe over the past 40 years and this one gets the award for being the worst. I paid for 2 nights but left after 1 miserable sleepless night. The motel is next to an intersection and the road noise was overwhelming ALL night long (and I use earplugs but they were useless). Half of this run down, totally outdated motel was occupied by oil and gas workers who all noisily left between 5 to 6 am. Just a plain miserable excuse for lodging.

Good stay except for one thing…

Overall, the room was good. Most likely I’d stay there again. Only reason for 3 stars is we didn’t find out until the morning that the hot water handle in the shower didn’t work. We only stayed one night, so by the time we discovered this, there was no time to do anything about it. Aside from that, the room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend, but soon as you check in, check the shower faucet :-)

Clean, comfortable & conveniently located

Pristine clean in the room, comfortable bed and sofa, appreciated the fridge and microwave. Staff so polite! Pool wasn't open at time of visit. Convenient to groceries, restaurants, parks and of course the Caverns.
