They have a 3 o’clock check-in time no matter if the room is empty or not I got there at 10 o’clock. I had to wait four hours before I could check in. I had traveled all day. I was tired. The room was empty and clean. There’s no reason that they can’t let you have the room they’re just cheating the public out of their time that they rented a room for I want the whole world to know this the hotels that make you wait even if they have an empty clean room they should let you check into it and besides that this particular hotel didn’t have any ice.

Honest review: Older property but clean. Front desk staff were very friendly. Breakfast was the usual. Floor in the bathroom gets wet every time you take a shower because of the way the curtain rod was installed. Quiet. Would stay again.

Stayed with dogs and had a nice first floor room with a grassy area right outside. Staff was friendly and room was just perfect for what we needed. Nicer than some we stayed the last couple of days. Breakfast was good as it always is at BWs. Restful stay.

Linda at the front desk was very kind and helpful. She even called my room after I checked in to see if everything was good. The breakfast was fresh and hot. The room was carpeted which is nice for my dog as she doesn't like to walk on slippery floors. I would stay there again.

I was skeptical for this motel when I pulled up but it as a pleasant surprise. I was concerned about road noise from nearby I40 but there was none at all. Room was nicely updated. Bed was comfortable. It did take a bit for the AC to get the room cooled down and we were missing some necessities that the front desk quickly corrected. Oh and the fridge runs a little cold— woke up to the mess of a frozen pop 😂 make sure you put those on the bottom shelf!

Our Garmin map gave us inaccurate directions but we found the hotel to be close to the freeway. Initial appearance at night was dark but we never felt unsafe. Staff was nice, are room opened directly to the parking lot and a large grassy area which are pup loved. Beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. The outdoor pool was closed (April 6). The breakfast was basic, but we left early.
