“Nice rooms & service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We stayed here as part of a 4,000+ mile road trip from Tucson, AZ to Wilmington, NC & back. I stayed here with my husband & my dog. We picked this hotel because it was on our route & had everything we needed, which was pet-friendly with a fridge & microwave in the room. When we checked in, I asked if we were on the first floor. The girl at the counter said no, but she let us switch to a first floor room! I know that may not sound like much, but out of 4 hotels on this road trip that had put us on a higher floor, this was the ONLY hotel that actually let us switch to a first floor room! Our dog can't climb stairs & is afraid of elevators, so having a first floor room is much easier for us when we travel with him. The room had everything we needed (fridge & microwave), comfortable beds, & a very nice flat-panel TV.

The only negative thing was that the area seemed kind of shady to me. Soon after we checked in there was some yelling in the parking lot. Then, I have no idea how many people were in the room next to ours or what they were doing in there, but all night long their door opened & shut at least a few times an hour. This wouldn't have been much of a problem except for some reason when they inserted their key card in their door, it sounded exactly like someone was putting a key card in OUR door. Whenever I heard it, I fully expected someone to try to get into our room (we had the top latch locked, as we always do in hotels, so they would not have been able to get in if the door had actually opened). Luckily our door never opened, but this went on all night until I fell asleep. I am very much a night person, so when I say this went on until I fell asleep, I mean like 2:00AM-3:00AM! Plus, it was still going on when we woke up in the morning!

Room Tip: Room was great, I just recommend keeping your door locked, not sure if the area is safe.

“Do not eat the gravy and sausage!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

We stopped here on our trip to Bistineau State Park. After the prices at Best Western on our South Dakota trip the rate seemed a little high. I agree with the previous review about the sheets. Pillows were not comfortable either. I had seen the review about the breakfast but thought it might have been a fluke. My son had the gravy and sausage the next morning and was sick all the way home. Seems as if this is too much of a coincidence.
One positive note....the hotel was quiet. I am a light sleeper but did not hear any noise.

Room Tip: Try to say on the office side of the building. People were "hanging" out on the back and o...

“Comfortable Hotel At A Reasonable Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

This hotel is one of the most reasonable priced hotels in the area. The room was clean, the check-in was smooth, and the parking was quite nice. The only negative about the room is that you can hear all the noise when everyone around you flushes a toilet or runs any sort of water. The free breakfast was ok with limited room in the area. Overall it was a good 2 night stay.

“Very pleasant stay. Would recommend.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I spent Thanksgiving Night (Nov 24th) here. The rooms were in tip-top shape, the bathroom was very clean and everything was laid out nice. It wasn't noisy as there was little traffic outside. They have a nice-sized flatscreen LCD television, very speedy wireless internet, a microwave, an oversized small fridge (about 3' tall, not the standard 'dorm-size' ones) and everything was very clean. Lots of space to relax. I had a king-sized bed with four pillows and a couch that would fold out. A nice desk and office chair to get work done with PLENTY of electric outlets for your gadgets (on the desk and both nightstands).

I had limited interaction with the staff. At check-in at the front desk, the lady was very cordial. At 8am sharp the next morning, housekeeping knocked on the door. I assume it was because the car parked directly in front of my door had already left so I assume they thought I had left. To avoid this, I guess be sure and put the 'Do Not Disturb' card on your doorknob.

The only semi-complaint I could even mention is they were out of non-smoking rooms and they had to give me a smoking room. And at $89/night, I thought it was a tad pricey, but I didn't mind paying it.

“Large clean room, location sort of scary”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

My husband and I spent the night here while making a fast trip to Killeen, TX. We checked in around 10:00 PM. The hotel is set back from the main road, so there are no other businesses close by. We checked in around 10 PM so were not suprised to find the front door locked. There was 1 very young lady working alone but she did unlock the door when she saw we were not a threat. The room was large and clean but the parking lot was poorly lit and kind of creepy. While we were parking, we saw someone standing by the driver side of a parked, idling car but when they saw us, the guy took off and the car almost ran us over getting out of the parking lot (???). Anyway, for the price the room was better than expected and it was quiet. Other than not having hot water the next morning, all went well.

Room Tip: We stayed towards the back and it was very quiet.
