Good little one nighter
This is a great newer property. Maintenance seems to be well kept and lots of cozy room in the lobby for hanging out even away from the bar.
This was our 2nd stay weather related and while i do appreciate the price point and location - the pool needs a better heater or turned up a little warmer for us older bodies, and the beds need upgraded or pillow tops to them.
Otherwise, breakfast was good and rooms efficient. Check in is quick and easy as well.

Mother daughter reunion.
The king Deluxe was perfect for my daughter and I to meet in the middle between MN and KS. It had a large sectional that was perfect for hanging out, playing games etc. Very nice walk in shower.

Our go to place to stay
We have stayed at this location several times. Always great service. Breakfast is good, great bed and plenty of space in the rooms. Nothing major but noticed that some of the walls needed a good wipe down.

Very Good Place to Stay
I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman at the front desk. He was very professional and pleasant. He was working the bar and the front desk and never missed a beat. The hotel is very clean and in great condition.

Will we be back?
We (my wife and I )stay here every year for Black Friday shopping. This year was great, the room did have a smell... It wasn't sewer and it wasn't bad. You just got whiff when you stepped in the door. Shower water pressure was low but good enough for a shower. I'm a tough customer to please however this hotel did it... We'll be back again!
