Comfy, clean, fiber wifi, heat pump ac/heat (quiet). Good value.
Pros:

Older motel which shows its age, but don't be fooled. The beds are comfy, the room was clean, and it featured a recently installed heat pump which effectively cools/heats without the usual noisy cycling on/off in motels at this price point. Very nice. I'm not sure, but I believe the wifi is fiber optic because the router was identical to ours at home where we also have fiber internet. It certainly was fast. Handy refrigerator with small freezer. And, when your nearest neighbor across the street is a potato field, it is very quiet at night.

Cons:

Nobody in the office the two nights we were there, but it wasn't a problem. I received an email with instructions on opening the electronic lock on our room before we arrived. If there was an ice machine I didn't see it, but I didn't look very hard either. Toilet is low and tiny, shower is ok.

Disappointing!
Pros:

No breakfast, no ice machine “ we were told to go up the road to a store if we wanted ice” heater didn’t work had to use a baseboard heater that hardly worked. They brought us a blanket to keep warm.
We had booked three rooms “ 1 room was nice 2 rooms were not.!

Cons:

Just about everything!

Excellent accomodations!
Pros:

Run by an absolutely fabulous lady... jumped through flaming hoops to accommodate.

Cons:

Loved the place. Only thing I dont like about staying on Caribou is the lack of food delivery options.
