Staff is the shining star here. Property is outdated, but comfortable, and exactly what you would expect at this price point. Quiet and clean and a respite midway on my journey.

The bed was comfortable and the room and linens were clean. Decor was very dated. Furniture was dated. Years of use and neglected maintenance were obvious. Cracks in walls/ ceiling, gaps under the entry door cracked window glass. Large Black Widow spider in the bathroom. We paid $40/nt so I wasnt expecting much. 2 cop cars were circling the motel when we arrived- not sure if thats bad or not. Right next to the interstate and very loud- no sound insulation. The staff was extremely polite and friendly. You could tell that they tried- maint is probably not a priority for the owner $$$. Overall alright in a pinch but Id say a step above camping.

Art at the front desk was and is a blessing. His kindness, warmth, and he was very welcoming. My vehicle broke down last Friday heading to Loveland from Houston TX and we were devastated. We were stranded here in Trinidad (we never been here) and I used up all of my AAA tows trying to get my vehicle fixed. Art went over and beyond to make sure my sonand I. He even called his mechanic to fix my vehicle and his mechanic came to the hotel driving from Weston. Our experience here was great. Thank you Art! More than Great customer service!

A nice stay for a very good price...I thought. Everything was fine until we got ready for bed and found the mattress was completely compressed in the middle. Seriously, the middle two foot strip had no support for the length of the bed. My wife and I tried sleeping on either side of the depression, but there wasn't enough mattress left to support us. Worst nights sleep imaginable!

I could tell a lot of renovations had taken place, which I greatly appreciated because it's generally an older building. Everything felt safe, clean, and functional. Will be staying here again in the future.

The property is in pretty poor shape. Our room’s cabinet under the sink had its doors falling off, the room had items removed from the walls over the years without being repainted, and the walls hadn’t been painted in years! The floors weren’t particularly clean, but the sink, tub, and bed was clean.
