Found a room for me when your other hotel could not. They made me feel welcome at 12:03 in the morning and they had parking. The night clerk was a wonderful young woman who was able to cope with an older person who was very very tired and frustrated with booking.com

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    We enjoyed having two bedrooms and free parking was located nearby. The location was quiet, but with the train tracks next door, be prepared for loud train whistles in the middle of the night!

    Breakfast is exceptional..... I do not like the fact that there is no outward ventilation from the showers.... toooooo much moisture / humidity after showering in the rooms and am surprised it doesn't damage the walls! Also wish , if 2 people per room that more "in-room" coffees (regular) would be left in the room. Otherwise the staff/ entire motel is very nice. LOVE the little gift shop, too.... great idea!!

    This motel was recently renovated and clean. Not perfect but certainly suitable for a short stopover and close to highway.

    I didn't have breakfast. This motel is really not for vacationers. My expectations versus what was available didn't match and the photos were a lie, so I was quite disappointed. I will not stay here again, or visit Iowa really. It's not a very nice place.

    This place is very quiet and the bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in at a motel. We didn't eat breakfast there because of a commitment with friends but it did look ok.

    Everything from management to staff to the corner by the toilet stall was exceptional. I’ve paid twice as much for a room of lesser value. Best experience I’ve ever had with a motel and will stay here every time I come this way on I-80.
