The room was good sized. We had one queen bed. The room was clean, The motel is dated, but we were just there to shower and sleep. We will stay here again when we visit Milbank. A few things to improve. I did not like the plug in air fresheners. I had a hard time getting used to the scent. I would have liked a heavier blanket on the bed and a couple more bath towels since there was two of us in the room. Loved the Valley Queen cheese sticks offered with the breakfast.

It was very basic, but it was clean, everything worked and the staff was pleasant. The shower was hot, the cable worked and place was quiet. But just to repeat, it's basic. It's good for a place to crash for the night and then head off to where ever your going. Would stay there again if in the area.
