This motel is super nice on US 65

I stayed here for 2 weeks total during a work trip. Chose this place because of their low weekly rates but stayed because it was very clean and they allow pets. The manager is very kind and a pet lover herself. She changed out my air conditioner for a better one on the first day, without me asking for it. Would definitely stay here again, especially if I needed a place for an extended period of time.

Very nice and accommodating staff at this locally owned motel I would happily stay at again as long as it continues to beat or closely match the rates of their competition. They do allow pets. There was a $10 nonrefundable cleaning fee (they asked for cash if possible because the $10 goes directly to the additional room cleaning costs they pay to the cleaning company). Whatever they are doing with that $10, it is working because when I walked into the room, I couldn't tell if a pet had ever stayed in there. While I can see how some may feel the motel could use updating for decor reasons, it was very clean and I really thought it was cute. It looks dated, but everything is well maintained so I loved the feel of the place. You'll see what I mean if you go to their website and look at the rooms. I had a single bed, so my room was more spacious than the double (at least from the look of the pictures). It seems like a single is the same size room without the extra bed, which was great for the dogs to run around a bit as they had been stuck in a car for SEVERAL hours with only a brief potty break when filling up for gas. The website barely shows the carpet and doesn't show the bathrooms at all in their room pictures, which I know makes me nervous and skeptical about any place I'm considering, BUT both the carpet and bathroom were very clean and well maintained too. The were no odors to the room, and the Google description as well as information on the website are all accurate. The rooms are non-smoking, but they will give you an astray for smoking outside of your room. They even encourage you to leave the astray outside so they can tend to it for you and to keep any tobacco product remnants out of the rooms. The only negative I have that is also mentioned in a a previous post was that a train goes by at 2 AM. If you look at Google maps, clearly it goes by all the hotels, but I think the tracks run by Motel 65 more closely than any of the other places. While this last paragraph is a bit of a story of my night, it is important to convey how special this place is because this paragraph is another reason why I would happily stay at this place again. The appropriately named storm system "Goliath" was forcing several vehicle off the roads (literally as well as figuratively) in the Iowa/MN area. My car got stuck in the entrance way of this motel trying to get into the parking lot (I almost got stuck at a couple of stop signs/lights as well as in a couple snow drifts on the interstate, so it was NOT because the motel wasn't trying to maintain their lot. The motel was trying its best as everyone was that night, but everything basically was shutting down due to the severe weather.). There were two people from the motel working on the parking lot when I tried to pull into the lot. When they saw my car wasn't able to move, they came down and literally dug my car out. I was just out of the street when I was stuck, but with so many people running off the road and/or getting stuck, the motel wanted to be sure to help get my car out to get it to a safe place where I could easily get out in the morning. I was so appreciative of this and can't thank them enough!!!
