Dated and damp

Good staff but the hotel is dated. Room felt damp and the dog's collars felt like they were damp in the morning even though they were not in aby water the previous day.

Traveling highway 94, like a million times before. We've never stayed here but the price was right and the satisfaction scores are good, so we thought we'd try it out. The owner/staff is very involved and helpful. The area has a lot going for it, but walking isn't in the cards for most of it (Aldi is more than a mile away, no sidewalks). Room appears to be renovated, large and in great shape. Outside of the hotel, hallways and doors not quite in the same league. Bottom line, a very nice place to stay at a VERY nice price!

Safety an issue?

The desk clerk said go around the back for easier access to our room. We went around to the back entrance and there was an unsavory character in a vehicle with the windows open smoking pot. His vehicle was right at the rear door. Needless to say, I did not feel safe at this property.

The staff was welcoming. I could tell that there have been recent improvements, everything looked orderly and clean. The rooms are a basic, nice hotel experience. It was cool and comfortable with blankets available in the room, but not on the bed. I appreciated that. Three pillows per bed was perfect. No pool or other amenities, but I didn't need or want them. The complimentary breakfast was tasty and filling. The only concerning thing was the open drains in the sink and bathtub. I worried about dropping something into them and being unable to retrieve it. I had a very pleasant stay.

Stay here!

They are new owners since January. They take very good care of this hotel. Our room thanks to Ethan was immaculate and perfectly shut up. I highly recommend this hotel.
