I got a room with a sleeper sofa and went to the front desk to get sheets and blankets and they told me they only had one blanket and no sheet for the mattress on the sofa sleeper

Pros:

I was very happy with the cleanliness of the room! I smelled fresh fragrance of a hint of bleach and shiny tiles on the floor indicating a clean floor. The air conditioning was very good. My room had 4 pillows on each bed which I use to prop my head for relaxation & a little TV watching. The room was especially safe for my handicapped husband as I had requested. The towels were adequately stocked for our 3day & 2 night stay. We love the fact of having a restaurant at the motel for easy meals. Breakfast in the morning & Great Coffee keeps us coming back. We will always stay here when we take time to visit family. Familiar faces at the Crossroads in Fort Dodge make this a special place to stay. Thank you for a clean room & stocked supplies in the room.

No complaints
Pros:

Good stay, no complaints. I think the building could use some curb appeal. A hot tub would be nice. Pool was nice, just shallow. Great for kids I’d say. Room was nice, good value I’d say.

Pros:

I reserved a cabin through Expedia. This is the second time I have visited the property and was told the roof had caved in on some of the cabins and it was under construction. When I arrived, the cabins were not under construction. But, construction workers were staying there. I felt lied to. We won't go back.

Pros:

This is a hidden gem. Beds were comfortable, rooms were nice. The pool area is enclosed in the center of the hotel & very nice. Mexican restaurant on-site was very good. Only issue was the a/c units didn’t seem to really circulate throughout the rooms & so we did have to buy a fan to get the room to a comfy temp.
