Always had to ring the bell to get someone at the front desk. Late night staff not as very friendly as I’m used to at BW.

Room definitely needed upgrading. Think they're in the process of remodeling the rooms so hopefully they'll get the face-lift they need. We had to unplug the refrigerator since the motor noise was obnoxious. Eggs and sausage at breakfast were both cold -we were disappointed.
The mattress was comfortable. We got a good night's rest. They are pet-friendly which was a positive for us.

Room was very clean and location was great fo us. Walking to restaurants and right off interstate. Older motel, no frills. We had no complaints but if you are wanting luxury, you probably wont like this. Shower had plenty of hot water and bed was comfortable which was all we needed for a 1 night stay while traveling.

It was 26 degree outside but the room was warm and comfortable. Clean and spacious.
Price was right for our needs. I would note that while the room was clean, there was a washcloth left on the shower curtain from a previous guest. Although our room was tidied up twice it still was never removed by the cleaner, as well as a tissue on the floor. Not a deal breaker for us as the room was overall clean, however some guest would likely have a bigger issue with it.

The front desk staff was very efficient and pleasant: twice I had to bother her, and she was so helpful each time. The room was simple, very clean, and comfortable.
The breakfast flavor was bland. Also the biscuits were not thoroughly cooked. But there were lots of options to choose from.

The room was clean but the shower was disgusting. The shower head was caked in build up. My son and I did not shower for this reason. There were towels with residue on them. It was not the best. We didn't wake up in time for the breakfast but from what I seen when I made it there, it wasn't much to choose from, more like a continental breakfast.

My wife liked it and if she likes it, that’s five stars
The room was cramped and very basic. A second story room was our only option with no elevator available. This can be an issue for seniors or anyone with mobility issues.
Staff was very friendly and helpful - the one true standout. The room wasn't dirty - just felt tired. Heard road noise all night. While it wasn't exactly an expensive room it did feel overpriced for what was provided. We'll be shopping for other options next time.

The room was in good condition and the staff was nice but I had no idea the rooms were entered from the outside. There were no pictures showing that.
Located conveniently off the interstate exit, safe and quiet. The room was clean. The beds were quite hard but I like a soft bed. Overall wonderful and would stay again.
