We knew this wouldn't be fancy. All we asked was clean and utilitarian. However, the heat was not working, it's cold and rainy, and they KNEW the heat wasn't working when I called ahead for a reservation and didn't tell me. I'm traveling with my elderly parents and the cold rooms and hallways are not a good situation. Apparently many... More

Enjoyed my stay here. The check in was smooth and I did not have a reservation. Room was clean and the bed was good I guess since I slept well! No issues at all here. Yes I would stay here again. Locally owned so the owner makes your stay a good one.

The rooms are great...cinder block walls...silence was total. However, the transium window doesn't have a curtain so the walkway lights flooded the room with light. Staff promised to fix it, check you room first. On the plus side the local eaterys are swell, no fast food on that side of town. The Walmart is close and if you have time... More

Very large rooms with doors both to the parking lot and to the interior. Although very dark brown decor, quite convenient and comfortable and has a fridge and microwave. I stayed here in May 2012 and found the room to be so comfortable, convenient and reasonably-priced that i purposely chose to stay here again in Feb 2013. It felt like... More

While driving from MI to CA with a dog, we were generally limited to a handful of "pet friendly" hotel chains. The Prairie Inn was a lovely break from that- a "vintage" motel with character, great price, big rooms, comfy beds, and easy access to get the dog in and out. The continental breakfast was all pre-packaged processed stuff but... More

Very convenient to I-80. Large room, quiet, comfy beds. Clean, but the faucet could use some CLR to get rid of the mineral stains, and the switch and switch plates could use a scrub with a tooth brush and windex. Quiet and THE most convenient access to you car which beats lugging overnite stuff. There was no one at the... More

My husband and I stayed here with some other family members for three nights. The room was very large, the staff was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive, and the location is very convenient to town and to the highway. We slept great, as it was very quiet and the beds were really comfortable. The minifridge in the room... More

If you are looking for a good nights rest, quiet surroundings, and parking right at your room door, this is the place. Staff is pleasant and helpful. There is an inside hallway you have access to which is great if you want snacks or breakfast. But you can go next door to Jody's Diner where a homecooked meal awaits. I... More

The rooms are huge, the bathroom comprised two rooms, one with shower, toilet, and sink, the other with just a sink and large vanity. Tiny fridge and microwave included. The mattress was firm and felt new. The "breakfast" was unworthy. But the room was so large, quiet, and comfortable that I was quite happy anyway. There is a smokey odor... More

Passsing through to Colorado. Pet friendly. The room was spacious and helped me to feel more at home. After driving for two days with kids and dog I was able to pull stuff out of my car and reorganize. Made the last day of my journey much better. Continental breakfast was good. Definitely prefer to any chain and was cheaper... More
