I am a Truck Driver and stay here often. The ladies at the front desk are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate me. The rooms are always very clean, bug free and the beds are comfortable. The decor is dated but If you are looking for a place to lay your head, get a hot shower and are not nit picky The Camelot is great. They are pet friendly and only charge $5 per pet. I will definitely keep staying here when I pass through. Thank you for showing your appreciation to us drivers!

It right off I40. This is a older motel. Looks to be renovated a few times. Rooms were clean. Small fridge inside. No breakfast. Shower pressure with decent. Bed were comfortable. Kids like the castle theme. Pros inexpensive and it had ice maker. Cons need a microwave in the room and some kind of breakfast in the morning

Honestly it's like this, you get what you get for only $46 a night. Do you save money here? yes. will you have great reliable service here? Depending on the person giving services mood. Do I recommend you be outside? No. Lock your cars up and keep your kids in about 9. Although the homeless people that frequent around here are mostly harmless, there are certain people that are on substances. From my experience just keep your head down go to your room and try not to make any friends around here. If you stay extended time even if you want to clean your own room they will try to force you to accept room service. So your best bet is just accept it because they will make a big deal out of it. For place that isn't responsible for anything missing or broken they sure do want strangers in your room. And that's always been my real reason for declining House services. And don't expect a friendly smile when you walk in just pay get your card and go to your room because this ain't no Hilton inn. It's a place for people that are low on funds & need a place to lay their heads down at night and even if you have to end up staying here for a week or more it is still more affordable than most choices. So as far as your pocket so it's a win but anything else... if you can bear to spend a little more money go somewhere else. I am grateful none the less I was able to find a temporary place.

Everyone on the staff is nothing short of exemplary, and the epitome of hospitality. I know this place used to have a reputation that wasn't quite so great, but I can vouch for the fact that they have definitely turned it around under new ownership. My room was immaculate, the housekeeping staff is polite, and very quick their feet. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Nice, funky hotel exterior with super friendly front desk service. Smoking rooms available and pet fee only $10. Room was older but clean and spacious. Rooms have an inside entry door that opens with a card key and a door to the outside so you can load and unload without having to lug suitcases all the way around. Fridge with small freezer, tissues in room, but no microwave or coffee maker. Lots of open plugs to charge your phone or laptop. Enjoyed staying here, close to all kinds of fast food places and restaurants and right off the highway.

On a cross-country drive with many overnight stays at different motels, this one stands out for extremely reasonable pricing and their fun castle theme. Clean, quiet room even though there were many guests. Only bad part was that I lost my wedding ring here and want it back!

Came through and stayed here on the way from Houston to Denver. Our rooms were warm, clean, and free of pests. Having a smart TV in the room was an unexpected plus. The front desk staff and manager came through in a huge way for my son. He left a distinctive stuffed animal in the room and realized it about 100 miles away. When talking to the manager, not only was he extremely helpful on the phone with finding a solution, he also was willing to fedex it home of needed. He remembered us several days later when we passed back through on the way home. The customer service we received was excellent.

Looks a little sketchy on the outside and the surroundings, but I loved the castle theming! Makes it so unique compared to other hotels. Front desk staff was so kind and helpful, and though the interior is a bit dated, the rooms were clean, spacious, and functional. Definitely worth the stay if you’re passing through and need somewhere cheap.

I enjoyed being here. Nice, quiet and clean. No bugs, not dusty and the bathtub was clean enough to actually take a bath in... which was much needed after my long drive. A door to the outside and one with hallway access was best, in my opinion (I feel more safe with more than one exit). I only got orange juice the next morning so I didn't see what was for breakfast, and my husband enjoyed the coffee. The only thing I didn't care for was having to go to the front desk to heat up my food. I would have liked a microwave on top of the mini fridge because I eat all of the time.
