We had low expectations due to some of the comments online. We were glad to learn the negative ones were wrong, at least in our experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The room didn't have the standards the others do, blowdryer, coffee pot, clock, refrigerator or microwave but it served its purpose. We used earplugs as the I-80 is right behind the motel. We slept good, showered and continued our trip. We didn't travel with a pet so we can't comment on the pet area.
