Terrible accommodations
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Needs updates. Old worn carpets, no alarm clock, no hair dryer, no body wash, one tiny tube of shampoo, no lotion, minimal small towels, no coffee maker, minimal breakfast items, breakfast over too early 9:30 am, not enough parking space especially when a bus parks across 6 or 7 parking spaces. Mirrors across all one side of the room like a hooker hotel. Pretty sure there were bed bugs.

Pros:

Staff was friendly

Cons:

The room was clean, except for a few spots on the wall in the bathroom that looked like they could be blood? Also, the pillows were terribly hard and uncomfortable.

Great experience!
Pros:

We went for the Pella Tulip festival so only spent one night. This is a newer hotel and was clean, everything worked great. The only person we talked with was the manager when we checked in, but he was very polite and friendly. We would definitely stay here again. No complaints.

A nice place to stay when you just need a place to sleep for a night or two.
Pros:

It was clean, the manager at the desk always remembered us and was friendly toward us. Great value for what we needed.

Cons:

There was some wear and tear that could be seen, but for the price, we weren't expecting a luxury set-up.

Nice place at a value price
Pros:

This is a basic motel about 12 miles from the attractions at Altoona. We stayed on a busy soccer weekend to watch our grandchildren. It was clean with decent rooms. The staff was friendly and we were only a twelve-minute drive away from the sports complex in Altoona. The prices for motels go way up on soccer tournament weekends but this motel was reasonably priced. The only issue we could see is it did not have a pool which didn't bother us.

Clean, quiet and great value!
Pros:

Nice quiet clean room for the night off I-80. The cost was very affordable. I stayed here on the way back home from Rapid City. I would definitely stay here again just for the value .Clean and near a few gas stations and convenience stores. I left at 6 am to get back on the road the next morning. Filled my coffee mug and grabbed a bagel. I was in a hurry to get back on the road but I saw a waffle cooker, cold cereal, juices, toast and bagels…which is fine considering the price of a room. I’ll definitely stay here again if passing through the area again.
