    The ceiling was not in the best condition, the noise from the trains is disturbing and there's nothing around.

    The best part about this place is the price - 32$ including tax is insane. And despite the low price you get everything you accept from a motel including fridge, microwave, comfortable bed, proper shower with toiletries. Some more expensive motels don't have those.

    Parking lot is a minefield with potholes, bedding had hair and small stains, glad I brought a sleeping bag. Wifi in area is terrible.

    Inexpensive, quiet considering the location, easy access to freeway, was upgraded from a single bed to two upon arrival. Friendly host.

    Funky smell in the room that was hard to identify, but it was clean enough. Walls and ceiling were peeling, and ancient. Electrical outlets were sketchy and one threw a spark at me. But for the price.. it was as expected.

    No pet fee, no forms to fill out, just given a key card and thats it. Wifi worked.

    The two issues I had with the room was the stains by the tub drain and the fact that I didn't see any electrical outlets near the bed. I had use the ONE outlet I could find that had a multi-plug plugged into the outlet. I used it plug in my phone charger and CPAP machine. That means four items were plugged into the one outlet. My two items plus the microwave and refrigerator. The vertical blinds were broken pieces stuck into the slots.

    Location was across the road from a major truck stop and close to the highway. The bed was memory foam but a little bit firm for me personally. Otherwise, was comfortable.

    The room is old but very clean and well kept. Only one chair, another one would be nice since there are two of us. No coffee in room or on premises.

    The room was very large.

    No Electircal Outlet near bed. I specifically request that. Needed to use my CPAP. They did provide an extention cord after I threaten to call the authorities. !! NO TELEPHONE in room, but yet they ask you to call the desk if you have a problem!!!!! No place to hang clothes and no hangars available. No overhead light in room except directly above the bed. NO COFFEE MAKER. Mattress was TERRIBLE. Could have been more comfortable on a lawn chair. Multiple springs poking me. There didn't seem to be a smoke alarm, as the ceiling receptacle was empty, but then we noticed the smoke alarm was sitting on top of the TV!!

    Close to and easy access to/from the freeway and Love's Travel stop. Nice refrigerator and small microwave.

    The things not upgraded were very dingy. Walls need a new coat of paint. We seemed to be in a room that was maybe in the middle of a remodel?? There were no extra things like breakfast.

    They had done some upgrades to parts of the room. Linens seemed clean.

    The beds weren't comfortable. There was a guest working on their vehicle for hours in the middle of the night (11:30pm to 3am) directly in front of the room doors. The staff didn't request they move away from the building or cease work. Between the beds being uncomfortable and the noise just outside our door - we didn't feel rested at ALL.g

    Staff was terrific at check in. The rooms were very clean.

    The heater unit did not work. It only blew cold air even though I had it on Heater mode. If it wasnt because I had blankets with me, the night would have been pretty cold.

    Room was clean and had hot water and towels.

    Next to train tracks with a very loud train coming through frequently, but I got used to it after a few times.

    Close to the interstate. Cheap! (I mean, don’t expect the Ritz Carlton. I paid $32 and got exactly what I expected with no unwanted surprises.)
