It felt strange checking in to a hotel at a gas station cashier desk, but everyone was friendly! The rooms were warm in January and well maintained.

If you're just looking for a place to sleep while you fish and/or play on the lake for a couple of nights, its super close, the bed was comfortable, I like that they give you a free bag of ice every day so I'd say it's fine. That said, my room was not ready at check in time, the floors were very dirty and definitely not vacuumed, and there was barely any TP, so the room definitely could've been prepared better.

Convenient, affordable, clean, stocked with amenities and towels.
Was between the interstate and railroad tracks but wasn’t horrific, really didn’t notice.

What a gem!
Really nice, clean and newly refurbished motel room. It was a real gem in the woodpile to find such a great place near to our family camping in the State Park.
Check in at the gas station went smoothly and a fully stocked store had all the essentials and more. We will stay again!

Nice stay.
Pretty basic room, very clean. No issues with anything.
About 40 yards from the train tracks - I felt the vibration when the train went by but barely heard it. If you're a light sleeper that might be a problem. Slept great!

My motel room at Howard’s Motel had a clean well made bed , clean bathroom and vanity. The refrigerator worked so well, it froze my food and drink—but my cooler’s ice blocks were perfectly refrozen for the journey home. The only thing that was somewhat uncomfortable for me, a single woman, was that the motel units have no landscaping surrounding them-just gravel. However, I was able to park my car right at the unit’s door—unpacking and packing my car easily and quickly. Also, the area surrounding the motel is well lit with security lights. I would stay at Howard’s again the next time i need a place to stay while in the area.

A clean and comfortable oasis.
I stopped in Wheatland only to discover, on Hotels.com, that the several motels there were all booked. But a room was available at Glendo, a tiny town an hour north, so I booked it. Howard's is part of a gas station/convenience store, although physically separate and about 100 yards away. I checked in at the gas station, which was quick and easy. There are only about six motel units, in two small buildings. They seem to be new and my room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. There were, however, two things that were disagreeable. First, the entire complex was unpaved and only covered with gravel, not paved. Second, there is a railroad track about 50 feet away. The first time a train came through, in the middle of the night, I woke up with a "what the h*ll?" experience. It seemed like a UFO had landed on the roof. Once I figured out what was happening it was cool, but I probably woke up every time a train ran by.

Fishing trip to Glendo Reservoir
This is a no friĺs hotel. Just what we needed for our fishing trip to Glendo Reservoir. You get a free bag of ice for each day of your stay.

Howard Motel in Glendo
There were no food options. There was no front desk, but the clerks in Howard's convenience store next door we're very good and helpful. The bed was fairly comfortable.
