It was a place to lay our heads
There were hairs in the bed. We checked in at 5pm. Check on it's listed for 3pm, and they still hadn't cleaned it yet. I had a cold shower. Soap dispenser had muck at the bottom, and couldn't use it. One of the beds, when you moved springs would pop up and poke you. At least it was a closer stay fir going to the hospital the next morning.

It was disappointing the first morning being woke by other customers revving truck engines for 20 minutes starting at 5:30 am. After a long drive and long day, sleep was very much needed. I understand contractors renting by the week are important to your bottom line, but respect for other customers should be monitored and enforced.
Front was not manned during normal business hours. Went to the front desk several times, with no success.
Breakfast bar was not kept stocked. Coffee was good but found breakfast selections had been picked over to the point that Sunday morning I didn't find a item I could eat. Disappointed.

My mother had surgery scheduled for Monday n due to weather conditions we drove down the night before. We were taken care of upon arrival by the manager. Rooms were nice n clean, beds very comfortable. Knowing our situation because of the outstanding customer service the manager told my mother that if roads were still not good the next day she would let me keep my room free of charge! Our overall experience was very comforting n enjoyable!

A bit disappointed.
Pretty run-down. Needs a major update and cleaning. Bulbs burnt out, linens, carpet are old and frayed. Lots of small details overlooked. Makes it seem unkept.

My son called to confirm reservation and let them know that we were at a wedding/ reception in Duncan and would be checking in late. He was told there was no reservation and we did not have a room. I have the emails and was charged. We ended up sleeping in Klemme on a family members couch and recliner. I have called and left messages to speak to GM with no response.

About what you expect.
About what you'd expect of small town Iowa and commensurate for the price. The bathroom floor could have used a sweeping and some of the bathroom fixtures were showing their age, but it was adequate. Friendly owner/operators, though.
