I really hate to give less than 4 stars for my stay here. But there were a couple things preventing…read moreme from giving a higher rating. One of these was stained towels. I get that it's a smaller family-run establishment, but black smudges on most of the towels are a little unsettling. The big red flag for me, however, was that the door had no working deadbolt, nor was there a chain/bar to prevent the door from being forced open. Maybe I'm just paranoid from having stayed in places where crime is a concern, but I consider a working deadbolt and/or a chain to be "standard equipment" at a hotel room and I have never stayed somewhere that didn't have one of those. Other than that, the room was fine. A/C was cold, water hot, internet fast. Really didn't like how far from the bed the nearest power outlet was, especially with cell phones being standard equipment nowadays. I probably wouldn't stay here again, but for my purposes (a traveler passing through who originally planned to camp, but sites were expensive), it was fine. I've stayed at far worse budget hotels on the High Plains and around the country, but I've also stayed at better.

It had been raining and as I walked to the lobby door, I didn't notice that water was pouring down from the roof. Soaked! The clerk at check-in was tough to understand, slow and distracted. The room was kind of disgusting. The carpet was heavily soiled and dotted with cigarette burns, despite it being a non-smoking room. One of the chairs even had a huge stain on it. If it wasn't for a nice bed, I would have rated this Super 8 even worse. You should think twice about staying here!

Lobby was well organized and newly decorated with comfy seats and an easy to access "business center". The lobby also serves as the continental breakfast seating area. Speaking of, I was wowed by the continental breakfast-lots to offer and was continually stocked. From eggs to pancakes to sausage and cereals, they had it all ready to go! The rooms were newly updated as well with new mattress and newly installed wardrobe and desk. The couch/sitting area was also a nice addition. Bathroom tub/shower seem to be working on still. Outdated facet and shower head with the tub having lots of scratches. Nothing unclean, just clearly a work in progress.Heating and A/C worked well in the room as both were needed! Check in was quick, once a staff member showed to check in the line of guests. Check out process was a breeze. Staff were extremely nice and welcoming.

Inside botanical gardens are still thriving. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was a sleep ahead of most places. All in all we had Avery enjoyable stay for the night.
