Grab a room
This lodge was surprisingly great and worth the price. It is definitely in need of carpet, deeper cleaning and maybe a bathroom remodel but otherwise if your staying for night, grab a room!

Great beds!!
I discovered this place in October on a trip east. It was late and it was available and close to the highway. Not great looking but for one night.... The bed was fantastic! The best hotel bed I've slept on in a long while. Purposely stayed here on my next trip east and will plan my travel to stay again on my return trip.

Good old standby!
I have stayed here numerous times over the past several years. Always clean with friendly staff. Right next to the interstate with McDonalds in the backyard and a nice truck stop diner and gas next door.

Stay away
Walked in to the room looked at the stained towels, smelly room, none-working lamp and dirty fllor and walked right back out and went to a different hotel.

Eat breakfast somewhere else
The shower was moldy. Breakfast food seemed days old and there was a sign stating you were not allowed to take the food out of the tiny breakfast room.

4/10 Fair

Well, this was once my favorite place to overnight when doing a cross country run. But I have not been here in a few years and it has been sold to individuals who obviously doesn't love it as much as the previous owner. It is no longer the gem it once was. Dirty carpet, broken chairs and a bed that is firmly resting against an ancient baseboard heater, which looks unsafe. On the plus side- a clean bathroom. I am quite sure I will never stay here again The price was about the same as I paid for a nice room at a Hampton Inn the night before so there you go. Last, as an added bonus, there is garbage and tons on dog s**t right out front on the grassy area. And don't forget the diesel pickup idling right outside the door for 15 minutes at 0330 in the morning

Not Pet Friendly.
Not good, advertised as pet friendly, got there and they said there was only a section of the hotel that was and not the room we got.

A classic, the good kind
The staff is friendly, its an older classic--Aframe office, jack-alope photo opportunity, but updated, clean, in a good location for the traveler. The breakfast offered was really decent. Biscuits, gravy, waffles, cereal
