Heating was a space heater. Parking lot was slippery, had to use 4X4 to get to the parking spot. Our friends had a nicer room. Baseboard heat, a closet and a sink in the bathroom (ours was outside of the bathroom). Maybe they are upgrading and haven’t done the building we were in?

This hotel was exactly as advertised and rooms matched the hotel's pics etc. It was clean and better than I expected. It's clearly an older hotel and older building etc, but we were in town for a concert and it met our needs for the trip. One small thing: after the concert we came back and needed some more ice but couldn't access the ice machine because the office was closed. It would have been nicer to have access to an ice machine/ vending machine after office hours.

Clean enough. The only form of heat was an old wooden space heater that looked like it was from the 80’s, bedding was old and ratty, could hear people arguing and talking all night.

Good value for an overnight
A good standard motel room at a good price. One nice extra feature: a second sink outside the bathroom. We only stayed one night, so we didn't need to make use of the drawers and shelves, but we noticed there was lots of storage space provided. Although the room was generally clean, there was a bit of dust in one of the front corners. It was a 30-40 minute walk downtown: acceptable for this time of year, but maybe not in winter.
