We came in late (after 2:00 a.m.) from the airport without a reservation. The girl at the front desk was very polite and accomodating. She brought a large electric fan to our room for the "white noise" which we like to sleep with. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but it is clean, comfortable and close to... More

I have stayed at the inn for 28 yrs. Always clean and enjoyable. Great place to stay when on a shopping trip. Rick could be a bit less gruff and more patient with the people that are paying the bills.

The owner is a complete jerk. His rooms are rundown, and full of " Scabs ", from the sugar beet plant. The parking lot noise never stops. The walls are paper thin. The non smoking rooms, smell like smoke and wet dog. It is close to shopping and the mall. For the same price, you can certainly do much better.... More

when I arrived at this Inn the desk person was very polite and informed me of alll the amenities immediately. For only about 40 dollars per night you receive a continental breakfast, free coffee and cookies all day, large, very clean rooms; and it is right next door to a grocery store and bank, amongst other shops. My room came... More

This may be a "cheap" hotel but you get what you pay for. Outdated faciltiy +++. Awful carpets, furniture, beds, and linens. Breakfast was also AWFUL. Pay a few $ more and stay somewhere else.

I smoke so when our usual place that we stayed in for the last 20 years converted to non-smoking, (Lakeview Inn), sadly, it was time to find somewhere else. We decided to try a few. The place is old, expect wear and tear and outdated furniture (funky) (they DO have a coin operated vibrating bed in every room lol) They... More
