    Bathroom floor is very cold. Can’t say anything else bad about the place.

    Location was great. Walking distance to a few restaurants. Fairly quiet.

    My last room did have a cigarette smoke smell and was a little cold.

    I really enjoyed the large rooms. Access to Main Street and highway. Hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. I was very late arriving due to winter storm conditions and staff stayed late for my check-in.

    One of the best motels for the price we stayed in on our 24 day drive through the west.

    The large dusy parking lot made you think that the motel wasn't going to be very clean or well maintained, but when you went into the room you were pleasantly surprised. The breakfast wasn't anything special, but with Jody's restaurant next door I didn't care.

    The rooms were very large and well laid out. In older motels that are inexpensive you sometimes get tinny rooms, but these rooms were huge. Lots of space to put your stuff, extra chairs to watch TV, etc. The receptionist recommended Jody's restaurant next door and that was a very good tip. For a classicly designed MOTEL this was a surprisingly well done one. It was like a throw back to the 1960's--in a good way.

    Except for issues with running my card for payment, because the system needs updated, this would have been a perfect stay.

    Big room. Big parking lot. And next to a great little diner!

    It was a bit dated. The continental breakfast was minimal and most of the fruit they offered appeared to be expired. Bruised apples and hardened tangerine skins.

    The room was large and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The employees were nice and friendly

    The TV was very weak and the sound was very poor for the size of the room, the breakfast was terrible. The room got really hot because the air conditioners are down for the season but thank goodness it was a fan there or I would have died LOL

    The room is large and spacious, the beds were a little stiff, it was very clean the Linens were nice. The shower was lovely the water pressure was very high, the breakfast was really ridiculous though it was like Bagels and milk and packaged GMO cereals it was terrible nothing like all the pictures show. I liked that my pets could stay there with me, and I liked that the floors were wood floors and not carpet cuz carpet gets so dirty so easily. The TV was pretty sketchy very small and the sound was terrible for the size room it was otherwise me I liked it. The price was right the location was great the customer service was really good the girl was lovely and very kind. I would definitely stay here again.

    The room was dark. When I turned off the lamp on the desk, I discovered it was a 3-way lamp (so that is operator error), but even with turning it to the brightest setting, it was still pretty dark. The furniture and fixtures are very dated, but I knew that from the pictures and other reviews.

    The room was nice sized. The bed was comfortable (best one I slept on on a two week trip). The staff person who checked us in was friendly and recommended a restaurant across the parking lot, Jodie's Diner. it was fabulous - an old-fashioned, small town diner with terrific food and reasonable prices. All in all, the motel is a good value for the money if you don't need everything fancy. We will stay again when we go through Evanston.

    I didn't like that they don't offer their continental breakfast until 8am. Most hotels start at 6am. So I can't leave a review of what that's like due to not having the opportunity to try it.

    I really loved the big room with 2 king size beds in it, that's rare to find for the great price. We were moving back home to Oregon from Texas and this hotel was our half way point. So a great big room and super comfy beds was awesome. Plus being next door to Jody's Diner was very convenient. Pretty good food, by the way. They sell fresh squeezed water too lol. Easy, friendly check in. I also loved the bathroom area. I really loved the parking space and the safety of the area. We had a regular car that we were able to park right in front of our room and our pickup truck towing a trailer was able to be parked along the fence in front of our room. There's cameras all around the property. We had stuff in the back of our truck as well, and nothing was stolen. A friend that lives in Evanston, came to visit us for a bit and said thank God you're staying here and not across the street at Evanston Inn because that one is drug infested and disgusting. I'm glad I went with Prairie Inn. I would definitely stay again.
