Clean, quiet, friendly staff, hot breakfast (eggs, biscuits, gravy etc) . Room was large with comfortable beds and very quiet. Hot to. Available but didn’t have time to use this trip!
Nice place. Clean and great location. Also was a fair price. Desk clerk was friendly. Breakfast was honestly above average which is a nice surprise. Pretty quiet for being a block off the interstate. We would stay here again. Only items to note was the hot tub was extremely hot to the point you really couldn’t use it and the entire room was basically uncomfortable. Pool was fine but again the room itself was intolerable. Some deferred maintenance here and there and the parking lot could easily be difficult for large trailers if they were busy.
This is a wonderful place to stay. It looks like it was recently renovated and rooms, hallways, pool and hot tub were all clean . We were on the first floor so no issues with stairs and we could bring our pet. Nice area with restaurants nearby. Beautiful park across the bridge in Chamberlain, on the Missouri River. For the money, by far one of the best motels we’ve been to as we travel around the country.
Very nice and quiet! Rooms were clean and comfortable! Love the beds and pillows! They had a pool, hot tub, and breakfast! Awesome WiFi connection...no lags!
Amazing room and staff Hot tub Jacuzzi was amazing. Breakfast was amazing they had real bread and not that fake break like other hotels. Pet friendly too so out little cat loved sleeping there too
Our rooms were clean & beds very comfortable. The staff was polite & breakfast was good & hot. Scrambled eggs, sausage, sausage gravy, make your own waffles & several choices of cereal & danishes. Good discount with rewards membership. We recommend
The place was incredibly clean in the rooms at breakfast and in the common areas the staff checking in late at night was over the top. Nice! We really appreciated the welcome, we had plenty of room to park our truck with a trailer in the parking lot.
My parents wanted me to leave this review. They loved everything. They say it was very nice, the beds were made perfectly, very clean, smelled clean and the breakfast was great and the staff was very accommodating. They want to recommend to everyone and they had no complaints.
