It is in a very small town and from the outside it doesn’t look like much,but it is very cozy and very convenient. The manager is very helpful and friendly. Goes above and beyond. The owner could do a little facelift on the place. Would help it look a little more inviting. Because the inside is perfect. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a basic place to stay, that’s in a quiet little town and you don’t have all the noise of a bunch of other quests. There’s two restaurants located in town. The blue line (which is right next door) is good for breakfast,but lunch and dinner is basic bar food. The High Plains Restaurant that’s located just south of the motel is the best tbh. The food is amazing and worth it and the Huckleberry ice cream is to die for imo. Great food and great desserts too. Everyone in town is so polite too. We’ll definitely be back to stay in the future.

The single staff member was very nice. He been taking care of this place for a very long time. He actually has own room connected to the office. The place has a L shape look on the outside. Gravel parking lot. There's very little grass, basically where the hotel sign is. When I entered my room there was a light smell of cigarette smoke. My room was clean, you could tell that it is an old school place from the early years. I always bring air freshener with me, so used it throughout my room. It seemed to help. There was a window A/C unit to cool my room down, space heater in the walk, very well functioning fridge that kept all goods very cold with the freezer really keeping items frozen. Digital Microwave worked excellent,nice 36 inch flat screen TV, worked correctly. The bathtub was old school very tall side. I liked this, for some it may present a problem . Plenty of hot water for shower, the sink seemed to take a long time to get hot. I ran it for about 4 minutes before it did have hot water. The shower had a window in it, there was a curtain hanging over it. The curtain was about 6 inches short would make people uncomfortable while taking a shower. Anyone could see in from the right direction. Shower system was a little tricky to control temperature. It had 2 full size beds, one of them that was next to a/c unit had a closet behind it. You had to climb on it to put your clothes in it. No bug were found in my room. I don't recommend a non-smokers to stay here.

The property had ample parking, was clean, and had basic amenities like a microwave and refrigerator for a very low price. The office was dark and hard to find, no one answered the phone, the hotel walls are really thin around noise, and the bathroom window on the first floor was open when I arrived. Please note that this property doesn't provide Wifi or a desk for those seeking a workspace.

Looks arent everything

At first glance the motel looks old but once in the roon the beds were comfortable and the place was clean. The owner greeted us with a handshake and was very friendly. Don't be dissuaded by the outside appearance because its the inside that counts.

The best thing about the town was the youth rodeo. The worst thing was the town's emergency whistle blowing in the wee hours of the morning. Finally someone turned it off.

The best thing about the motel was the price. The room was small and the beds were not very good. The refrigerator and microwave worked. There were several several dead and/or missing light bulbs. There were no chairs nor any place for our belongings but the floor. One bed covered the closet opening so nothing could be put in there either.

We had reservations. The website says open 24/7. We got in late because we got lost. Knocked. Rang the doorbell. Called. Left a VM with my phone number. Called a second time. No response. A week later not even the courtesy of a call back. I prepaid so I couldn't even cancel. Worst experience I've ever had with a hotel. I want my money back but they won't respond.

Property needs to be updated and deep cleaned. My bedding smelled like a wet dog. Several reviews were made by hunters that the rooms were no frills. While that’s true, I’d at least expect a hair dryer. There was multiple unmatched vinyl flooring in one room. Lots of flies (but fly swatters were in each room). I put bug spray on before getting in bed …
