We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. This time the place seemed a bit more rundown and not as clean as usual. We love the spacious room we stayed in, and the price was fair.

Perfectly fine as an overnight on a road trip. It’s a tiny place, office not open late, but they were kind enough to text me and hide a key for us. Bed was comfy, room clean , spotless towels… the place just needs TLC. Huge positives are dog friendly and no smoke smell… always an issue in casino towns

The check-in date was incorrect, due to auto reset in Expedia website (or user error). The motel honored the rate when we arrived at the end of a 10-day trip.
