"Great motel. The room was nice and kept clean, and the bed was comfortable. Only one coffee cup provided, and we had to ask twice for regular coffee. No whirlpool. Good breakfast. The Mexican restaurant next door wasn't open for dinner, but there were restaurants a few blocks away.2018-09-14"
"Close to Dordt College. The motel was OK, but there were issues getting checked in because the computer system was down. The room was spacious.2018-06-23"
"The 1st night was awful. The mattress sagged, and the pillows were hard. People on the 2nd floor stomped around until 2:45 AM, and the hotel staff did nothing about it. We were moved to a 2nd floor room the next day. The room was quieter, and the mattress was better. Breakfast was tasty, and we liked the cappuccino machine.2018-10-25"
"My priority is a clean room, and this motel fit the bill. We had a good overnight stay.2016-03-24"
"The motel was clean and adequate, but basic. There were 3 adults in our party, and we had to ask for an extra towel. The employees were friendly and more than willing to help, so if you need something, ask for it. Breakfast selections were limited to cold cereal, waffles, and toast. Our stay was pleasant.2015-06-11"
"The hotel was absolutely filthy. The carpet was dirty and sticky, so we didn't even take off our shoes. The toilet seat was broken, and there was black mold around the bathtub. The hallways were dark, dirty, and smelled horrible. Overall, it was disgusting. The front desk clerks were very friendly, though. Don't stay here.2015-08-09"

"It was pouring raining when I arrived, and I had to wade through water to get to the elevator. An alarm was going off, but it finally stopped. At 2 AM, it started up again, so I didn't get a good night's sleep. I'll stay at another hotel next year.2019-07-11"
"Nice hotel. The shuttle service was the best. Definitely stay here.2015-06-23"
"The bed was just a foam mattress, and it wasn't very comfortable. The heater woke me up every time it cycled on. My bed wasn't made the 2nd day. Don't stay at this hotel.2017-12-28"
"The hotel was nice and clean, but pretty average. My room was at the end of the building, and I didn't have much hot water. Since I had a king suite with a whirlpool, hot water would've been nice. Breakfast was subpar, with no hot selections. My nephew stayed here the week before I did, and multiple hot breakfast options were available when he stayed.2020-09-21"

"Not a good motel stay. It took 20 minutes to check in, though we'd called ahead. The room floor was sticky and gross, and not enough toilet paper was provided. We were afraid to use the shower. Don't stay here.2017-06-07"

HotelGuides makes it easy to find hotels that are pet friendly. I also like the ease of changing reservations and that I don’t have to pay in advance.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
