Adequate and Safe Stay

This was an older, motel in a safe area. The room was clean. The shower had great water pressure. Front desk staff was very polite and welcoming. This was a good, safe place to be for a quick stay with a grocery store and restaurants nearby.

Make this your regular stay in Storm Lake.

The owner is always working to upgrade the property. It's not the fanciest in town, but it is economical, clean, quiet and easy to get to and from.

Clean older budget hotel concrete walls

It may be an older budget hotel with a warn out exterior but it does have concrete walls. Very quiet stay. Comfortable bed. Towels could use replacement and bathroom fixtures are very old in desperate need of refurbishment but everything was clean. Good value, friendly staff.

Room was very clean, and it was a quiet stay, also liked the fact that it’s near places to eat that are in walking distance. Also liked the convenience of the microwave and refrigerator. To bad they didn’t have coffee or tea options in the room.

Good stay

The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable. Everything worked in my room & it was relatively quiet. That’s all I need to make me happy! The owner recognized that I had stayed there before (I’ve stayed there around 5 times in the past 3 years.)

A great option if you're in a pinch.

This was a last-minute booking when plans to stay with a relative were scuttled by her air conditioner going out. The hotel has a 7+ rating. This is more a 3, maybe 4, star motel. The manager and staff are amazing and very helpful. The beds were very nice. There is good water pressure. Other than that, it is very 1970's...the chairs were old and stained, there were very few outlets, the tub was obviously at least 50 years old, with electrical tape around pipes running into it. The room was bug-free and relatively clean, but there was a ton of dust behind lamps and the microwave. It was annoying to have large trucks parked outside our room...we were awoken by a ridiculously loud engine that was allowed to run for an extended time before 6 am.

Rooms are decent, hotel old and needs work.

Rooms are comfortable, clean, and large. Bathrooms small, old, but functional. One concern was no deadbolt lock on the door that opens outside. Lobby needs work, hotel looks rundown on the outside, but rooms were decent. No real breakfast, but good breakfast restaurant next door across parking lot.

Staff helpful and doing their best with facilities way past their prime…construction workers were noisy until 11:00 pm…but not deliberate or profane…young men enjoying beer and music. Having fun out side our room…but was disruptive to our nights rest.
