I noticed most of the reviews are several years old or older. Probably because very few go here? I took this room for one reasons, I couldn’t find anything else available because lots of people were in town chasing snow. This was a very strange experience, the woman that checks us in is extremely hard to understand. She checked us in over the phone while we stood in the office. She wasn’t actually present she was watching us on a camera. Since I had pre-booked, the bill was already made out, she had me reach through the hole in the plexiglass to sign the bill. Once again all of this was very difficult because she was very hard to understand. The key to the room was under the flower pot. Don’t forget the TP because there isn’t any in the room. Discovered this the next morning. Went to the office, no people and no TP. I’m going to let the picture tell the rest of this story. If I didn’t have snowmobile plans the very next morning we would have left. We slept on top of the made bed in our clothes, luckily the room was warm and thankfully the next day snowmobile trip was great.

Unless you are in desperate need of room keep looking!

You got for what you pay...

It is a cheap motel, it is not the high quality but it is was what I expected, @ 70$ / night we cannot expect the Hilton quality.

It was O.K. for the price. I would probably go back there.

Fast Wi-Fi

You got for what you pay...

Stayed here one night in late July.  Clerk (owner?) checked in 2 rooms to find my reservation--odd that they might be in two separate rooms.  She brought it out, I saw my name on the paper.  She immediately tried to get me to switch to a room with "a nicer bed" for just $10 more.  Not a fan of bait-and-switch, I declined.  Had to say no three times before she'd let me check in for the rate I had booked.

Had to fill out an old fashioned written registration, even though everything was on the printout on the counter.  Annoying, but minor.

Only after she processed my credit card did she tell me they'd need about 10 minutes to get the room ready.  It was 10:45 p.m.  I don't understand why it wasn't cleaned earlier.  My wife and I waited and when we brought our things into the room, we tried to use the bathroom.  The toilet in this room was next to the wall of the main room, right beside the wall to the shower stall.  The width of this mini-"hallway" was 18 inches--essentially the width of the toilet seat and about 1½ inches on either side.  Not only that, but the wall bulged out in many areas.  

We literally could not squeeze our wide bodies into that area to enable us to sit on the toilet.  I returned to the office and asked to see the room that was $10 more.  She cackled about how "I told you it was a nicer room."  She hadn't said anything about the toilet being inaccessible in the first room, only that the bed was nicer in the more expensive room.

The other room had a normal bathroom and was acceptable.  With the clerk, I observed that the fridge was room temperature.  She said, calmly, "It works, you just need to plug it in.  She proceeded to take a cord and plug it into a power plug for me.  Minutes later, my wife said the fridge isn't working.  She discovered our hostess plugged in the coffee pot instead of the fridge.

All of the furniture looked so chipped and cracked, I believe they drove near a college at the end of the school year and picked up their furnishings on the curb.

Our hostess took several minutes to get the small, flat-screen TV to work.  The size of the screen was about 17 inches.  I was told to not use the number buttons to change channels, but only the up and down buttons.  

The ice machine was at the far corner of the place, down a dark hall inside the laundry room.  When I got there, the room was pitch black until I turned the switch on.  It was the 1970s style ice machine where you lift the big lid and use a scoop to break apart the ice cubes and shovel them into your container.  In today's world, we aren't too comfortable knowing all other guests had access to the very cubes I put into my container.

On the plus side, the bed was OK, and we parked right outside our room. 

I guess it's better than sleeping in your car at the rest area, but if you are assigned to room 16, I hope you are extra-skinny or you might have a huge problem trying to use the toilet.

Only as a last resort

We had a 1 night reservation & my friend arrived at the motel before me.  She had them change the sheets and comforters and clean the bathtub before i got there.  It was cheap ($60) and I knew it was older but expected it to be clean.  The air conditioner and flat screen tv worked well and the room had a microwave as well as a refrigerator in it.  I used the free wi-fi, which also worked.  Clean bed linens and bathtub would have resulted in a 4 or 5 based on the price.

Won't be Returning

If you are planning to work in the area, this place has the best rates around. Been here 3 times and every time it was a good one. Great extended stay rates, with comfy rooms. Wi-Fi is fast, could watch Netflix with zero issues. Super friendly owners. They have limited kitchenette rooms. The single rooms are very roomy with a queen size bed and flatscreens tv's. 

If you plan on working this area and need a place to stay for a while, check this place out. I enjoyed my nearly a year stay (total time span), I'm sure you will too. 

Good Contractor Extended Stay Location 

This is a family-owned business who understands the true meaning of customer service. As a contractor, I always seek inexpensive accommodations, so when I stumbled across this place, I was pleasantly surprised. When is the last time you went to he Hilton and the owner shoveled one foot of snow to make sure you had a clear path to your vehicle? When have you stayed at a Hampton Inn where they let you use their personal dryer to do your laundry? Exactly, the rooms are not "top-notch" but they have all the accommodations a traveler needs. If you would like you can spend alot more for alot less, but this guy is forever greatful that he found this wonderful, family-owner gem! Bennie, I hope you see this that you so much for extending a kind hand to a wayward traveler!!!!
