Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews note serious cleanliness issues (cigarette smell in a non-smoking room, black mold in shower, dirty sheets) despite some guests calling rooms 'clean'—overall trend negative.
Service
9.1
Several comments praise staff and management as very friendly and helpful; manager went the extra mile to assist with check-in.
Location
9.2
Consistently cited as a strong point: excellent for access to the Paul Bunyan Trail, convenient proximity to the road, generally a good location for walkers/runners/bikers.
Room Quality
6
Mixed: comfortable beds and adequate room size for bikes noted, but issues reported with cracked windows, falling screens, cheap trim, things falling off walls, and some gross showers.
Amenities
8
Breakfast (including a pancake machine) and a nice pool area were mentioned positively; limited on-site dining options but basic amenities are present and functional.
Value for Money
7
Generally viewed as budget-friendly and reasonable for mid-week stays by several guests, though at least one guest felt it was 'not good for the value.'
Food and Beverage
6.8
Breakfast was described as 'ok' or 'decent' with a pancake machine; some complaints about undercooked bacon and limited nearby restaurant variety.
Overall Experience
7
Mixed overall: many guests appreciated location, staff, and comfort for short/budget stays, but cleanliness and occasional maintenance problems lowered overall satisfaction.

Pros:

Proximity to the road i was traveling. The staff was so nice and helpful.

Cons:

It took me a minute to find it. Its tucked between a couple of buildings I initially drove past it. So, maybe better signage along the frontage road...

Cons:

Our "no smoking" room smelled of cig smoke, the smoke detecter was barely hanging on the wall, the window was cracked, the window screen was falling off, and there was BLACK mold in the shower area.

Great location at a reasonable price for mid-week cycle trail rides
Pros:

Great location for biking the Paul Bunyan Trail. We stayed 2 nights before moving on up the trail. Rooms were a good size (we stored our bike in our room overnight with space to spare). Breakfast was decent (incl. a pancake machine !!). Beds were super comfortable.

Cons:

Just one restaurant next door (Chinese-Japanese food which was actually decent) but other restaurants just a few minutes drive.
