If you are looking for a comfortable room that is CLEAN, you can’t beat this place. We’ve stayed several times now during trips across the state. They are always very polite & welcoming. As an added bonus, it’s super affordable.

I left my room(outside entrance) at 8 am and when I returned at 5:30 pm my door was open about a foot. Room was under 50 degrees and who knows if anything is missing from my belongings. Not sure what time housekeeping comes through but am sure they did as the garbage cans were all emptied. Very disappointing.

We stayed one night and it was perfect. The bed was so comfortable and the room spotless. Loved the heat lamp in the bathroom. The owners/managers and staff were so friendly! We'll definitely stay here again our next time through Mitchell.
