The location is convenient just off the highway, and several guests slept well or found the beds comfortable. Breakfast is very limited-often just packaged pastries with coffee-and some arrivals encountered an unattended front desk or unusual damage-deposit options. Overall, expect a no-frills, budget stay focused on value and proximity to the road.

Manager was nice at the end. But Lobby area was undergoing remodeling and there was torn wallpaper, vending machines and table and chairs all over. No one was in lobby to check us in and no one heard bell. Had to go down hall to find someone to assist. The room was okay except for overwhelming smoking smell. However, it met our overall needs and was convenient to our activities.

It was cluttered in the lobby. Everything is worn out & threadbare. Bedspread barely covered the bed. Pillow cases were the type that are shams for on top of the bedspread not for sleeping on. Sheets felt like they've been used up.

When we arrived, we were aghast at the condition of the property--looked deserted! Walked in to a filthy 'lobby', if you could call it that, and no lights were on. A young gentleman was sitting at a table and said he had been there 15 minutes and no one came to the front. There was a 'ring' doorbell kind of apparatus sitting on the counter with a hand written note to use that or call some other number?? We rang the bell and waited...another 10 minutes passed, and a sleepy dude came from the back, and we made a quick determination that there was no way in hell we would stay in this place. Did I say FILTHY?? The floors, everything. My husband walked to the hall, turned around and went 'we are out of here'! We left and had to go another 10 miles to find another vacancy for the night. Their policy is NO REFUND, so we were out $$, but worth it to not stay one more second in that pig sty. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$!! This property should be REMOVED from all booking sites!!

A bit surprised this is rated as 7* on Expedia. Exterior is updated, but rooms are old and hallway/room smelled a like stale cigarette smoke. The “fresh breakfast” was packaged donuts and coffee. Bed was comfortable and room was generally clean - except the mirror was so smeared you couldn’t see yourself (and it was still smeared after I tried cleaning it) - was like they used tire dressing or something to clean. Friendly staff.

The bed was delightful! Although the website advertised rainfall showers, my room lacked one. The TV was on the smaller side, yet it delivered an excellent picture quality. The provided soaps were a pleasant touch, especially since I had forgotten my body wash. On my first morning, I left my room at 8am in anticipation of breakfast, but disappointingly, none was available despite the website's promise of a free continental breakfast from 6am to 9am. The hotel's proximity to the highway didn't disturb my sleep, as the traffic noise was minimal. My room was non-smoking, and while smoking rooms were nearby, I was relieved that the odor did not permeate into my room even though the smell was in the hallway.

We only stayed here for one night because I didn't want to drive 3 hours home after a concert. The check in was really easy and the front desk was really nice. The room was good. They could have done a better job with cleaning. There were some bears trimmings left in the sink but it wasn't too much. The walls were very thin so you could hear other guests in the hotel. It woke me up one time in the night. The included "breakfast" was some hostess snack cakes. Luckily we had planned to go to Denny's right next door. The best thing about the room was the water pressure in the shower. It was glorious. It was a cheap hotel and worked for one night.

This hotel was adequate and provided a good nights sleep for a reasonable price. The property is very dated. Some exterior widows were broken and repaired with adhesive tape. The room was clean which is extremely important to me. The bed was on the loser side and very firm but it slept well. Breakfast was minimal; packaged sweet rolls, good coffee and cold cereal with milk. Very basic good nights sleep at a reasonable price.

When you pull into the parking lot the building looks rundown and sketchy. There was a very nice young woman in the lobby sweeping when we got there. She helped my grandson with his shoes. The man working the desk took us to our room and turned on the a/c unit. It was very hot in there for about an hour and a half. After that it was very comfy and cool. There were several red stains on the floor in front of the sink that I believe were blood drops. It didnt look like anyone had ever attempted to clean it up. This property sits right next to the highway so you here traffic all the time. This didnt bother me...i think it may have helped me sleep better. Would i stay here again...definitely not.

The room had stained towels and washcloths. If you want a comfortable bed don’t sleep on one here. The only thing going for the place was location. I needed a room close to family and this was the only one In Peculiar. Next time I will listen to my instincts and stay somewhere a little farther away.

Room was dated and either had stains or a poor paint job throughout. Very poor water pressure in the shower, beds were cheap but not horrible, some very strange smell throughout the hotel, thankfully the room had a window i could open a little to air it out! Tv didn't work, I went to the front desk (i tried to call down but the phone didn't work) to make sure they knew, they said it was a new tv (which it obviously was not) and they weren't sure why it wasn't working but i just wanted to male sure they didnt want to charge me for a broken tv (i felt like they would try and scam me one way or another). It works in a pinch but wouldn't recommend.

Hotel manager is very accommodating. Location is great as it’s right off the interstate and next to Denny’s. The hotel is outdated which is fine and reflected by the price. The beds were more comfortable than expected. The only negatives were the place, including the room were very warm even though the A/C was maxed out. It was noisy and making a clinking sound. The lobby and hallway, not the room, smelled of cigarette smoke. The hotel was a good value.

The person at the front counter was friendly and polite. Also the water pressure in the shower was unbelievably good. Otherwise I was pretty underwhelmed by our stay. The room wasn't quite dirty, but wasn't quite clean either. The A/C in the room did not get the room anywhere close to comfortable, but it was blowing some cold air. I wasn't a big fan of how firm the mattress was, but again wasn't a super big deal.

Window was ready to fall out of its frame-it could not be opened without falling-window had to be locked. Place smelled of prior smoking in room-residual is bad as it is an irritant to people allergic to tobacco smoke like I am-I now have a synus infection from staying in the room. Rooms are tired-need updating badly-carpets are loosed in the hall and stairs and other things that point to a stressed financial situation.

The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the plumbing fixtures in the room seemed to have been recently updated. And the heat/ac unit worked better than most other places I have stayed. Absolutely would stay there again.

The man working the desk took us to our room and turned on the a/c unit. It was very hot in there for about an hour and a half. After that it was very comfy and cool. There were several red stains on the floor in front of the sink that I believe were blood drops. It didnt look like anyone had ever attempted to clean it up. This property sits right next to the highway so you here traffic all the time. This didnt bother me...i think it may have helped me sleep better. Would i stay here again...definitely not.

Hotel manager is very accommodating. Location is great as it’s right off the interstate and next to Denny’s. The hotel is outdated which is fine and reflected by the price. The beds were more comfortable than expected. The only negatives were the place, including the room were very warm even though the A/C was maxed out. It was noisy and making a clinking sound. The lobby and hallway, not the room, smelled of cigarette smoke. The hotel was a good value.

Hard to see signage need to clear trees away from signage. Staff friendly. Facility clean but old appropriate for cost.

The bed was delightful! Although the website advertised rainfall showers, my room lacked one. The TV was on the smaller side, yet it delivered an excellent picture quality. The provided soaps were a pleasant touch, especially since I had forgotten my body wash. On my first morning, I left my room at 8am in anticipation of breakfast, but disappointingly, none was available despite the website's promise of a free continental breakfast from 6am to 9am. The hotel's proximity to the highway didn't disturb my sleep, as the traffic noise was minimal. My room was non-smoking, and while smoking rooms were nearby, I was relieved that the odor did not permeate into my room even though the smell was in the hallway.

Great location near a major roadway & tucked away past a truck stop/gas station for easy access to any essentials you may have forgotten. Room had all the basics & was well-kempt.

A bit surprised this is rated as 7* on Expedia. Exterior is updated, but rooms are old and hallway/room smelled a like stale cigarette smoke. The “fresh breakfast” was packaged donuts and coffee. Bed was comfortable and room was generally clean - except the mirror was so smeared you couldn’t see yourself (and it was still smeared after I tried cleaning it) - was like they used tire dressing or something to clean. Friendly staff.

We only stayed here for one night because I didn't want to drive 3 hours home after a concert. The check in was really easy and the front desk was really nice. The room was good. They could have done a better job with cleaning. There were some bears trimmings left in the sink but it wasn't too much. The walls were very thin so you could hear other guests in the hotel. It woke me up one time in the night. The included "breakfast" was some hostess snack cakes. Luckily we had planned to go to Denny's right next door. The best thing about the room was the water pressure in the shower. It was glorious. It was a cheap hotel and worked for one night.

This hotel was adequate and provided a good nights sleep for a reasonable price. The property is very dated. Some exterior widows were broken and repaired with adhesive tape. The room was clean which is extremely important to me. The bed was on the loser side and very firm but it slept well. Breakfast was minimal; packaged sweet rolls, good coffee and cold cereal with milk. Very basic good nights sleep at a reasonable price.

There was no one to check us in when we arrived. The towels were stained and dirty. The bedding was stained. Bed very uncomfortable. No breakfast, just packaged muffins/sweets. This was not a good experience.

The broken English spoken was hard to understand. This is from the front desk person. We also had an unexpected charge.
