Allan

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was spacious and clean but there was a distinct cigarette smell. Kitchen was adequate and there a few utensils, as well as dish soap, but nothing to clean or dry them with other than bath washcloths and bath towels. The bed was very comfortable. The property is adjacent to Hy 41 and close to a railroad track so there will be noise, especially if a train goes by (whistle for the intersection).

Excellent Stay at a Great Price

Stayed here for a weekend and the room was excellent at a great price. Spacious and clean. Excellent TV, check in check out was simple. You have two gas stations and a Mcdonalds and Subway right there. It was exactly what I needed, I was pleasantly surprised!

Nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. Everything you need. We just stopped for a night on our travels but check in was super easy and the room exceeded expectations. Don't let the motel vibe scare you away (unless you are looking for room service). The room temperature was comfortable when we got there which is unusual. Super cozy, I would stay here again

Close to Gladstone lakefront, food options within walking distance. Quiet. Beds are a bit high up so if you are short and handicapped it’s a bit of a struggle getting up into bed. Staff is friendly and helpful

Nice hotel for an overnight stay.

The check in was good. Guy was very friendly. Room was clean, nice bathroom, tv worked well, and air conditioning was new. Noisy highway and there wasn't anything for breakfast except water and juice. All in all we would probably stay there again because the cost was very economical.

Great experience, check in was fast. Our room was nice and spacious and clean! We could not hear others next to us and the inn seemed full. Many fast food options within a 2 minutes walk from the inn. The whole experience was great especially considering the cost of the room which was definitely lower than average.
