Room was paid for in advance. Upon arriving, my son paid an extra $20 for early check on, and they ended up charging him a second time for the entire room. The keyosk was down and would no issue keys, so we ended up leaving. When contacting the hotel about it the next day, they claimed that they called as soon as we left to say we could come back, which was not true. We received no call. On top of that, we now paid for the room twice me

Found a dirty towel on the back of the bathroom door when we got there. The hotel kiosk staff was the most helpful part of the entire stay. I think the room was overpriced for what we got for sure. And then on our checkout day, the housekeeper asked if we were checking out at 9:50 when the checkout time was 11. And when we said we had one more bag to grab he looked down at his watch like he was in a hurry so we felt like we better leave by 10, even though we had another hour left still.

During the checkin I was given a room that was already being used by someone else. Then I was given a room with only one bed and I had booked a room with two queen beds 3 months prior to my stay.
Because there is no front desk a large group of people were able to talk and yell very loudly at 3 am and we had to get up twice before they would be quiet and leave. I would never stay here again. The rooms were clean but the sheets and towels smelled strange.

We were not told that there was no “front desk”. It was all done via machine. We walked in and felt completely unwelcome. A couple who were sitting in the tiny entry told us what to do to check in. We would never have stayed had we been told there would be no one there to answer questions,etc. if someone had been there I would have asked for a different blanket since ours had a cigarette burn in it (and no, we are not smokers).

Look elsewhere

Nothing says indifference to customers like a check-in kiosk. That process went well, but it’s dystopian and not welcoming. My room was old, but so-so. Clean enough. My tub didn’t drain and there was no mechanism to switch from tub to shower. Parking lights were off when I arrived after dark, but came on a bit later. This place is a cynical money maker for someone, but really needs more hands on attention.

Motel is fine. Just your average motel. Virtual check in is weird. Feels very unwelcoming and leaves you wondering how it would work if there was any kind of issue, needed something or just had a question, luckily we didn’t have to find out. Also, not much of a breakfast area. Don’t remember if it advertised breakfast included or not. If not then I guess it’s just a little bonus which is fine. Just coffee, apples, yogurt and a variety of juices in original stores bottles that I would never drink cause what if someone put something in it or drank out of them or whatever. Yuck. Needs to be a dispenser machine for that. Coffee was also in a regular pot. Wouldn’t drink that either. Place is very centrally located though and right by Kwik Trip which is helpful.

The staff other than Beki was rude. You checked in on a kiosk. The toilet seat was broken. The shower rod was falling off. I was afraid to stand in parts of the tub while showering for fear I would fall through. The day we were scheduled to arrive we called to let them know we were going to pay with cash and were informed they don’t accept cash only card and if we didn’t agree to that they would sell the room out from under us. Then while we were checking in they informed us that your rate (hotels.com) was double what they would have charged for 7 days ($380 for them vs $812 your price). So to say your site is the cheapest is incorrect and should be price matched!

The kiosk for check in where you essentially Zoom call someone to get your keys and such is weird…but I can get over that. But when we went to use the bathroom, the water was a weird orange color. Sink, toilet, and shower. Went out to the kiosk to report it and hopefully figure out what was going on, Zoom guy called the manager to our room and when she got there told us the city had changed some pipes and to just let the water run. We did, for a long time! It never got better and even smelled weird…we didn’t even brush our teeth that night!
Continental breakfast was a fridge with jugs of juice and some oranges/apples…not even like bagged muffins or anything. Definitely not our best stay.

There are no real staff at the front desk, you check-in at an automated kiosk with a video chat. Although it was fairly easy, i can see it being not a bit much for some older or tech challenged folks.

Our room was quite cold, and very dated. The bathroom was dirty. Toilet was full of toilet paper, I was nervous to flush it. The sink was dirty, toothpaste spray on the fauctet. Dirt on the edge of the tub.

The bedspread was dirty, and the lines had a smell that kept making me cough.

There is a continental breakfast, but it doesn't start until 6:30am, so I can't comment. I left at 6:15am, and no human had surfaced to start getting it ready yet.

Somehow, I know we'll probably be back!

We've stayed here before, and we really only use the room for sleeping while in Ironwood, so we knew what to expect, we thought... There's no 'Front Desk' so check in is done through a video kiosk and there's no phones in the rooms to call anyone ~ This is something we knew prior and not really a big deal, unless you need the front desk for someone or something, which we did, a lot! Our first set of scanner keys did not work (kiosk - new keys), then the TV wouldn't turn on (kiosk again - onsite mngr came to fix, with her kids in the hallway)... First morning: No coffee or the included 'to-go-breakfast' (kiosk - no help or coffee or food for us). Check-out morning: Yey ~ Coffee and whatnots, let's grab-and-go... Look, I get the 'you get what you pay for' but I would expect just a little more attention to detail considering that we were one of only three rooms that were actually occupied ~ All weekend!... Oh well ~ The heat works pretty good (and the AC in the summer), the TV has a million channels (including all the HBO's), the bed is VERY firm but the pillows are actually pretty comfortable, the water gets hot and nobody died ~ We'll probably be back ;) ...
