Let me state the management is great. Friendly, helpful, and working to 'fix the place up'. For the price, I would recommend it if one is just "passing through". Pros: The room was clean (#35), towels were OK (which means they were not thread-bare. The carpet looked new. Lots of pillows on the bed. Air conditioner was sufficient. Suggestions from... More

Coming here is just like coming home. Very nicely kept, great service. Rooms are well kept but this is an older property. Beds are comfortable, nice linens. Microwave and fridge came in handy. It is nice to see owner operators at work, more friendly than the big chains. I would definitely stay here again.

What this site lacks in some comforts, it makes up for in friendly service. It is an older property in need of some updating. Bed linens were crisp and clean, towels threadbare, and air conditioning efficient, but noisy --off and on all night. Water pressure was so weak would never have accomplished a shampoo in the shower. Breakfast adequate. That... More

The couple running this place, Steve and Angela, are just super friendly, warm people. Our room was clean and comfy. Yes there is a train that goes by, but we didn't hear it at night with our AC on. Inexpensive, but still includes micro/fridge, free breakfast and they were very accommodating in parking our trailer in a secure location. The... More

This Whitten Inn is an excellent value. It is what we call an "oldie but goodie"! An excellent update of an older property. We would definitely stay again! This made an excellent start to our journey west!

I recommend this motel to any truck driver needing a room. Nice, very clean,free laundry,wifi,and secure truck parking on premises. Best of all was the price of $34.24 total after taxes and trucker discount.

Our very clean room was perfect for the two of us...King size bed, with 29" flat screen TV, Refridgerator, microwave, All on 1 floor. Plus a smoking room to... More

The Witten Inn is an older property. The rooms are small. It is across the road from the railroad tracks. That being said the rooms are very clean, the rooms are adequate for two people and the trains do not whistle at this end of town so we did not hear then during the night. A couple now manages the...
