Best for
This hotel is best for road-trippers and travelers needing an easy Interstate 80 stop, thanks to its convenient access and plentiful parking mentioned in reviews. It also suits small groups or families who value larger rooms with extra space and a sitting area, plus included breakfast to start the day.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is described as right off I-80, it works well for late arrivals and early departures; plan your timing around quick highway access. For close-by activities, the Colfax Heritage Museum is under 1 km away and Stevens Trail is roughly 1.5 km away, making them easy add-ons to a short stay. If you’re heading to outdoor spots like Rollins Lake/Reservoir or Yankee Jim’s Bridge, expect a short drive rather than a walk.
What guests say
Guests frequently mention a clean, newer-feeling property with comfortable beds and spacious rooms, sometimes with a sitting area. The location is repeatedly described as convenient for travelers needing a simple rest stop just off I-80, with plenty of parking. Breakfast reviews are mixed: some call it a nice spread or above average, while others find it basic with occasional quality issues. Service experiences vary as well, ranging from professional and quick to slow check-in and, in one case, notably rude night staff. A few comments point to value and upkeep inconsistencies, such as price feeling high for the room’s condition or minor in-room supply gaps.
