Over all it was a good stay office people were nice and no issues with the room. I would stay here again if I am ever in the area.
Clean room with good working heat and a/c. Host was friendly and the stay was quiet. Happy I stopped.
It was a nice place and clean rooms. When you call and let them know that your going to be late they are very accommodating. They are on 179 off I-35 Exira Iowa North--East of Ames Iowa.
The owners were very nice & pleasant! They serviced our room every day. The rooms are outdated but overall we enjoyed our stay.
Rooms clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the rooms are very outdated. Definitely worth the price and will stay again when in the area.

Perfect little motel, just 10 minutes off the highway. Mo, the owner, was super nice and quick as we were checking in late at night. Room 4 was very roomy and even had a quaint view.
