Great service

This was on of our stays on a five day roadtrip and I can say that out of all the places we went this hotel had the BEST service. The two men at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Every employee we talked to was happy to be there doing their job.

Hide your family and friends!

Everything was going wonderful until I started getting calls from the office about petty things, like a guests bike being in the hallway by our door, and asking if we were planning on having guests overnight, and I found that very odd considering it was still afternoon. My advice: hide your family and friends inside your room including their bikes, strollers, etc. and keep your door closed and locked.

Very clean, nice big room, recently updated. Breakfast was great the second day. I think they had a new staff member the first day who didn’t prep enough food. Staff were friendly.

perfectly ok.

Hotel is hard to find with a tiny sign, but conveniently located near a shopping center with family restarants. No view, town hotel. Room was fine, clean, average.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Horrible motel. Not only is it unsafe due to all of the drug users that loiter around the motel. The toilet was clogged, I asked for maintenance and they were gone for the day. No toilet plunger offered, nothing offered to help other than towels to soak up the constantly leaking toilet water. I asked to change rooms and was told nothing was available, it was Monday. The pool and hot tub were down but those facilities looked ran down and I would not have used them anyway. The location is horrible, disgusting and extremely unsafe. Terrible staff and management. You’re better off staying at the BW in Eureka (15min away)
