    Bring an extra blanket, bed spread was very thin. AC wasn't turned on so room was hot for awhile, but it did eventually cool off.

    Great spot in the middle of town! Went out there for a show at the lumberyard and was pleasantly surprised how close the venue was to us. For the price and a quick overnight trip, Not a bad little spot to stay in.

    The property was well rated and if we visit Canyon again we will likely stay there. It is worn and dated but clean. Bed was sleepable and the staff was courteous. Noise wasn’t an issue at night and nothing was a major red flag. In room #18 the TV would not connect to channels and the hair dryer did not function. For half the price of the other options it was livable and fair.

    The room was clean but could use some maintenance - caulking in the shower. Ice dispenser was a bin system on the outside of the building with lots of potential for contamination. Other than that every thing was good.

    Great old school place to stay. Pleasant staff. The parking is a little tight.

    Very affordable option for a weekend trip to Palo Duro! The front desk staff were very nice, and the rooms were relatively maintained. It seems to be an older property though, since there's a lot of wear and tear on the appliances, and I think the bathroom started leaking water at one point? The beds are also not top quality (hard matress), but that was to be expected for a motel.

    Older property where the current owners have fixed it up quite nicely. Walk-in shower. The full size window blind had a beautiful photo of the old west on it. The ice machine is one that is used inside of a restaurant where employees use a scoop to dip ice. It should have been one where you place your bucket under it and hit a button. I am surprised that the health department allows this type of ice machine sitting outside at a motel. They could definitely do more cleaning in the bathroom. We wouldn’t use the shower because it was dirty.

    staff was very helpful. i was having trouble getting my park pass and the desk clerk said he could help me with that and booked my trip through the park. printed up my pass and a map for me .this made my day! room was clean and very comfortable. we just did a 5000 mile road trip and this room was way above any of the other rooms we stayed at in this price range.

    The bathroom trash had not been emptied from previous stay. There was only one bath towel and the towels were thin and dingy. After returning to our room around midnight the sewer smell filled the room. You con not even watch local news on the television. On a positive note the beds were clean and comfortable. The shower was good and the lighting was great.

    Bathroom was dirty; hair was all over the bathtub. The bed was terrible. Mattress was cheap and still had plastic cover that made noise all night and the bed/frame was loud every time I rolled over. Traveled for business so I needed a zero balance folio. I paid at the hotel when I arrived and I asked for one in the morning when I checked out. They said I had to get it online since I booked online, but they never updated the folio online to show the payment was applied so now I won't get reimbursed. 0/10 recommend, which us unfortunate because I like to support mom and pop places like this instead of big chain hotels.

    Location I was unable to shower, no mat no handle to get in and out and a slick floor. A prorated amount for the night we had to give up. No room to get out of the bed on the left side had to crawl to the bottom everything too tight.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of one of the older motels. Very clean and updated. Well worth the money, although I did get charged an extra $25 for early check in, which I thought unnecessary since the room was already available and nothing extra had to be done. Also it advertises continental breakfast at the desk which wasn't available.

    The mattress was firm and seemed brand new. Fresh paint. New bathroom fixtures. AC was great. Good work table. Plenty of space with 3 chairs and a king sized bed. Coffee pot in the room! Easy checkin and checkout. A few ants in the sink and one bug. TV would not come on. I was tired so just went to bed. Great instant hot water. I suggest getting a room in the middle of the motel. If you get a room too close to the road, the traffic might bother some. Had iron but no ironing board.

    Room was spacious and clean, bed comfortable, parking just outside the room and a nice area to sit and hang out. The motel is centrally located and the hosts were kind and helpful. The only thing that we really didn't like is that we were charged more than the total on Booking.com, saying that it was some sort of additional tax, but this wasn't mentioned anywhere in our booking and made us feel uncomfortable.

    Price was decent. Checkout was a bit confusing. I guess i was supposed to just set my card on the desk and not ring the bell. Lady came up and grabbed card set it on desk and took the bell and the sign to ring bell down and went back to her room. Maybe put a sign up saying to do that. It was a good stay though and smoking section outside. Very close to Palo Duro canyon. Bed was a little firm but not bad. Was quiet and felt safe.

    The room was adequate for the price. I liked not having carpet, but our socks were filthy from walking on the bare floor. The bedding, towels, etc were clean and the bed was comfortable. The easy chair in the room was disgustingly dirty and the bathroom could definitely use some towel bars or hooks. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

    Stop here if you can sleep comfortably with all of that....or if you bring all of your own linens and supplies, then maybe it's not too bad for $95 a night. Just needed a place to stay while traveling through for a total of about 7 hours to sleep, but couldn't even bring myself to shower. Only could fall asleep because I was so exhausted. Never again!

    The room was just okay and for the price, it was as a good value. That said, the sofa and upholstered bench seat in the room were pretty dirty and stained, giving a dirty look to the room. Most of the other rooms in that area were over $100 which I did not want to spend so overall it was OK. The bed was comfortable. It’s just that the furniture was so dirty.

    Taking off 1 star only because we found a couple of unrecognizable bugs immediately after we checked in. However the owners were great and switched us immediately to another room without a problem. That room was perfect and had great water pressure in the shower. We only stayed 1 night but the beds were comfortable and the room nice and cold. Was nicely updated. Loved that the fridge had a freezer section. Would stay again. Very nice owners who manage the property. One thing to be aware of is that they are not always on property. They use a Ring doorbell. So press the button. You may have to wait 10 minutes to check in.

    The constant loud buzzing sound I assume from the exterior parking lot light kept me awake at times. It's very loud, but I understand (and appreciate) it's for security purposes to illuminate the parking area. During the night, I got up to use the bathroom and found 2 live huge cockroaches - one by the front door and another in the bathroom. Also found a pink press on nail in one of the towels.

    Concerns: 1. Floor sometimes makes noise like stepping on and off a flat piece of metal like a cookie sheet. In the middle of the night, that was quite startling. Perhaps the flooring was installed over an unusual, metallic surface. 2. Shower curtain had an unsightly stain. Nice features: desk clerk is friendly. There is a patio area with a big screen TV. It looks like a good gathering place for guests.
