The staff were nice and helpful. The office looked like the carpets were never cleaned. The toilet had urine stains. There was only one large towel in the room and it had stains on it. The air conditioner didn't cool the room much.

Weeds in parking lot, first thought it's abandoned. Old everything, bathroom tiny, toilet like crapping in a coffee cup. Shower way small. Beds ok, sheets very loose fitting. tv poor reception. Will go somewhere else next time in Grand rapids mn. To bad there is potential. It would only take thousands of dollars and skilled labor to fix up.

The staff is super nice! The room was low cost compared to surrounding properties, but that didn’t affect the quality or cleanliness. It was cozy and quiet. I didn’t have any issues, and I would stay here again.

WOW
Run as fast as you can from this place-I have stayed in a lot of places in my 70 years nothing compares to this place as in scary -the first thing thing that greeted me was the fresh smell of bug killer that was to the point of rendering me sick-I immediately booked another room elsewhere and left

This was your basic cheap motel. Easy walking to a couple bars and restaurants, parking in front of door. Check in was easy and guy was friendly. But this is an older motel with a bit of a shabby run-down feel to it. I'm not fussy; the sheets were clean and toilet flushed, so I was content. However, there were dust bunnies in the corners, and lots of frayed fabric, and worn surfaces. My room (22?) had two rooms and the bedroom didn't have a tv and the chairs were a bit worn in the living room area. Again, functional and no bugs, so for one night to crash this was perfectly acceptable but not sure if I would want to use it as a base for a long vacation. Not nearly as bad as some of the other review would lead you to believe, however not as nice as it could be with a little TLC.
