Spent a night at the Wheat Lands for a business trip. This was probably a nice hotel about 25 years ago, but there's been little done in the way of maintenance and upgrades. It looks like the owners bought up all of the little motels in this part of town and combined them into one property, as there are at least five (maybe more but I stopped counting at that point) different buildings on both sides of a busy local highway. My room was done up in 1980 decor and had a very musty odor. I suspect the problem lived in the air conditioning unit and would have been cured with a gallon of bleach. The bathroom was clean but the shower valve leaked. Thankfully I was able to shut the bathroom door so I didn't have to listen to the water run all night.

Unfortunately fifty bucks doesn't seem to buy very much these days. Given a little maintenance on the plumbing and air conditioning systems, this hotel would be at the low end of the acceptable range. If I'd had to stay another night I probably would have lowered my rating, but as it was I took care of my business in town and happily moved on.

We stayed there the weekend after the Fourth of July for a family reunion. The family called ahead and told them we would like to have our reunion there. We did recieve a family reunion discount rate and several families stayed there, which made it very handy. Everyone enjoyed the pool and several took advantage of the exercise room too. The hotel gives you free breakfast (or $4.00 off anything you want at breakfast) and we all ate there together and sure enjoyed the food too! Our family get together was at the Conference Room and the staff was efficient and very accomodating with the large crowd that was there. The meal was excellent and we were all glad that we had made this choice. We stayed there again in August and we think this is a real good bargain. Would stay there again if we need to.
