The not so good - The refrigerator had an old juice bottle and additional drinks in it from the last guest. The bed sheets seemed dirty (had hair on it + stains) + left over trash behind the bedframe. The AC unit is covered in dirt. The good - Carpet was vacuumed and seemed really clean. The bathroom area is absolutely clean and beautiful. Location is a quiet spot along I-80 with a Loves gas station near by with all the amenities you would need. Overall, for the price you cannot find a better option nearby. Bonus - The cicadas will keep you up all night

We were set to drive in very close to the midnight closing time for check in. We called ahead and the staff helped us be sure our family with 3 young kids had a room and a good nights sleep when we arrived. Grateful for a nice stay in Shelby, IA.

A very comfortable place to stay. The manager, Melissa, works very hard to keep things homey and clean. Unfortunately, the lack of modernizing, unmatched and old furniture, and overall upkeep make it feel like a motel from the 80’s.

Filthy $ Extremely Run Down. Like A Scary Movie!

Most horrible place we ever stayed in 42 yrs! 1st room had crusty semen stains on the sheet & under pillow, and used towel & wash cloth hanging on backside of bathroom door. Floors were filthy & not vacuumed because it had sand/dirt around the beds. Very gross rooms. Only one other guest at the entire place. Felt like we were in a scary movie set. There is not another place around and being very tired we had to stay. But we left early morning so we could just put it behind us.

I booked two queen beds and upon arrival they gave me a queen bed and a little futon. We check out within 10 minutes and went further down the road to the motel 6 which was pretty decent

This is a 1 star hotel , not sure where the reviews came from but we were shocked based on the reviews , the condition of this hotel . It is very old and tired , and it actually did not feel all that safe , there were quite a few people hanging out who looked to be more or less permanently living there or in the RV park attached to it . I do not recommend you have this hotel on your list

nice room

1-night stay: nice, clean room but missing a few amenities. I had a king bed and couch but there was no table or chair to sit on when trying to work on my laptop. There was also only one outlet that I could see/use but it was near the TV and not the bed. Also had trouble connecting to the WiFi.

We were there for the College Baseball World Series in Omaha (40 minutes away) The place was old, but clean and comfortable and wifi, shower, etc all worked. The price was fantastic. Not luxury, but a VERY GOOD DEAL!
