A really enjoyable stay, especially enjoyed Sully, their dog, or as I called her the mascot! Very clean at a decent price. Thanks Bruce!

I stayed one night at this clean and very affordable motel. It is conveniently located next to the University and if you have business there you could easily walk to it. There was a microwave and a cold refrigerator in my room. Sully the super friendly dog will meet you as you enter the hotel lobby. I was also given a Veteran discount.

You can totally tell that it's a motel that is trying to rejuvenate itself. The room was super cute. I would definitely stay there again. Even though the cold and hot water directions were messed up in the shower. It gave me quite the shock....really woke me up!

I cannot say that I was expecting much, but this place delivered truly good value! The room was cleaned, many things have been updated and refreshed. The bed was plenty comfortable. The service was great at short notice. And the price couldn't be beat. I will be definitely staying here again the next time I'm in town. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great service. The owner is very personable and Sully the dog was adorable. Will definitely stay here again. Very quaint, older and not a lot of frills like other hotels but comfortable and welcoming. Dog friendly and our puppies enjoyed the stay!!!

I recently spent 10 days at The Travelers lodge. The rooms are clean the service was as it said always fresh towels. The owner Bruce was a very nice gentleman somebody else worked there named Rodney. I don't remember the housekeeper's name but they were kind helpful clean laundry room washers were wonderful and so were the dryers. Very well located and lit up. I would definitely stay there again.

Rooms are pretty basic. Very clean with the standard TV, fridge, and microwave ... Comfy recliner is a great touch. Hotel is trucker friendly with street parking but a decent size parking lot for everyone else. If you visit say hello to Sully the dog at checkin
