The front desk staff was very helpful. I let him know I needed a room on the ground floor as my sister who was traveling with me uses a walker. He immediately offered a handicap room which was great for accessibility. The beds were very comfortable and the room was comfortable. I would recommend staying here.

Great location
We had a very comfortable stay. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable and close to Cabella's and a great steakhouse. This is not a beautiful hotel, but it was great for wat we needed.

The beds are great!!!
This is my third time of staying here. The first was by chance, but the next two were on purpose. The beds are wonderful. The bathroom clean.
The rooms are dark but it's an old establishment so maybe one day...

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.

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.
