I don't think this hotel is geared to a short stay of one day. Lots of industrial pickups there and the receptionist assumed we were staying a week!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
After reserving a non-smoking room weeks in advance, only a smoking room was available. Staff seemed confused, had to return to office to settle confusion after settling into room. Room appeared grimy and smelled strongly, had to air out for hours. Needs remodel and deep clean. No coffee machine in room. Highway noise loud. Area desolate.

I made my reservation at this hotel months in advance. Upon arriving at the hotel late at night with my 3 kids the front office manager told me directly and without apology that she had given away the double room I had booked. All she had was a room with one king bed that I only accepted out of desperation and exhaustion. The room was below average, broken towel rack in bathroom, dirty pictures on the walls and dirty towels in the bathroom as well. I asked for clean towels and was once again given dirty towels. I would not recommend anyone stay here, ever.

This is a no frills motel. With that said, it’s clean, sheets were fresh, plenty of hot water, beds were comfortable and location was perfect for us (walking distance to Billy’s). We will definitely be back!

Great stay

This was our second stay in 3 weeks. Our room was very nice and clean. The manager is so polite and pleasant. We had cancelled our room for tues due to be snowed in in NM but it was not a problem and we were even upgraded.

Headed home from Fife, Es.

Had very hard time understanding the clerk's Indian accent when I booked the room earlier in the day I ordered a king size bed but when we got to the room it was queen size.
