Clean, reasonably priced, great value!
Letha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Owners were friendly. Rooms were dated but you could tell everything was welcoming, clean and a decent stop for the night. Would come here again when traveling through.
Elaine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for a stop on our vacation. Easy on and off of I-90. Thanks!
Judy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a good stay at a very convenient location. Their "dog and cat friendly" policy put some bothersome stains on the carpet in our room that we reported upon our arrival.
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A brief stay along the highway

For an older style hotel near a truckstop it is very nice. Well maintained.
Bradley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and the room was great, thank you.
Annette, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Apparently our room flooded so they put us in the Super 8 instead. The Super 8 was a bit rough.
Rodd, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Glenn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

TV didn't work when I first got to the room but they were able to get it working within two hours. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable for me. Hotel and furnishings are dated. Breakfast area is very small but decent selection of items. Staff were friendly and able to work my TV problem.
Loren, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Julie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel tried to give us a doubles room when we booked a king, but rectified the problem when we expressed our disappointment. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very dated and worn.

Staff are personable and the property is comfortable, clean, and very fairly priced. This is our second stay. We will continue to stay here anytime we’re in Mitchell. Thank you for the quality you provide!
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent motel adjacent to a truck stop. The location is great. Front desk staff are friendly and breakfast is great! The doors are hard to unlock and operate and there are tons of cigarettes butts and trash all around the property.

Hot tub was nice. Usually every place i stay the hot tub is always out of order. Also nice to be walking distance to the cafe and truck stop
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly people and clean facilities. I didn’t see a highchair for a toddler, but didn’t ask. The counter to eat at had plenty of room to set the child on safely.
