The property manager, was extremely helpful and understanding. I used Expedia to book two rooms for two nights and prior to check in had to modify the reservation to cancel one night in the second room. Expedia did not provide the hotel with the update and I was concerned I would still be charged for it. As we were travelling for a family funeral, I was concerned about any additional costs and was not emotionally prepared to deal with Expedia's errors. Fortunately, she was understanding and didn't charge me for the night. She went far beyond what I would have ever imagined she would do to ensure our stay was as stress-free as possible. Thank you for your kindness and compassion during a very difficult time. If you are planning to book at this hotel, call the hotel directly and bypass Expedia.
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!
The room was nice the front desk gal was nice but I had a 2 queen beds & both mattresses were terrible, 1 too soft & the other was a old spring creaky mattress.
Trudy is the BEST! She has the best hospitality! I've been staying here every week for work for the past 5 weeks. She makes sure I'm taken care of every single week! Thanks Trudy!!

It was clean and for the rate was a good please to stay for the Money.
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.
