Very basic motel with no extras (breakfast, WIFI, coffee maker, etc), although it did have a frig and microwave. Good value for the price.

While we staying at this property our room had no heat for the first 3 nights and although we complained, the manager finally brought in a space heater on the 4th day. Also since the housekeeper is only paid to clean the room, we had no one cleaning our room during our stay. We would never spend good money to stay there again even though it is under construction and unfortunately still open during a very noisy and disruptive time. Oh and some of the rooms now have new heaters.

During the 9 hours I spent in the room, I killed a dozen bugs of all kinds. I just couldnt sleep with all of that. Got maybe 3 hours of actual sleep as a result. Gentleman at the front desk was nice and personable though. Just not sure what he coudl have done Thankfully the tv had a good set of channels and i just watched tv bcs i couldnt sleep. Washed my face in the morning and promptly left. That said, for rhe price i did pay through Expedia, it was decent value.

Basic good accommodations at a reasonable price. Room was small but had very comfortable beds and chair, and a large bureau if one had a longer stay. Room had the basics: TV, refrigerator, but not much room to use the table and only one chair, but really not room for more. Bathroom also small but well planned, lots of nice hot water.

A VERY modest motel.
I had asked for a room in a quiet location. My room was on the noisy road side of the motel instead of on the quieter back side, and it was right next to the noisy ice machine. ALSO, he Roku TV system was terrible. I couldn't even get the network TV stations. This motel is an inexpensive option and you get what you pay for.....a very minimal motel.

I enjoyed my 2-night stay at The Robin Hood Motel. The room was clean, the shower water pressure was excellent, the manager was friendly and helpful. My room was in the back with a wooded area across the parking lot which was a very pleasant view. I would stay here again.

Well not my first choice to stay, it is convenient for a spot to stay, it is somewhat small of a room, plus no deadbolt on the door. 😔 Nice spot to smoke outside but when its cold out not fun. A nice spot for overnight but not to make the center of my vacation

A quaint gentle experience
This is a charming and relaxing place; I thoroughly enjoyed my three night stay. King is so major, and your every need is met. It is kept clean and is well maintained. Now the rooms are tiny.. a bigger person than me would not fit in the shower lol. It is a tiny bit of a challenge but didn't bother me.. it's like a cabin with coffee all day long in the office. Lots of Adirondack chairs outside your room, dedicated and then scattered in the back, park- like area w a grill and picnic table, a gazebo, trash bins always cleaned. I enjoyed the front in the sun outside, and the back in the shade. There is a cut through from front to back by the office, which is open until 8pm; King is always available to help with anything and you just have to call. Very quaint imo. King is the best.

THE WORST EVER STAY AWAY !!
I can't understand all the reviews on this place ?? I have been a member with Hotels.com for 20 years and would never of booked it except for reviews !! This place was so bad. Luckily I brought bug spray & Lysol & Lysol wipes otherwise I would of slept in the car.Unfortunately we arrived after dark and that only made it worse!! After cleaning the place I tried to shower and showerhead falling off the wall and drain backed up so your standing in 3" of water waiting to flood the place plus scummy shower curtain too. Went to sleep there were 2 small double beds. So buggy inside and out that in the middle of the night I got up for more bug spray turned on the lights to check the sheets and there were black hairs and dead bugs in my bed. I crawled into the other bed it was fiasco ! Next day tried to speak to owner who told me he us not responsible for my happiness ! I said well what about my safety? At that time He would not give us another room or a refund as I had booked 3 nights. I tried to contact Hotels.com but you only get a virtual chat and an auto-response that the hotel would contact me. We left for the day and he never contacted me that night we went back & took our stuff. We found another place to stay. A place that on here had terrible reviews but was a great place. There was a note on the door telling me he had another room with a queen but we had already booked elsewhere and I was out of Lysol anyway. Did not return room key until Saturday. So ripped-off. So upset $

While the facilities are a bit dated, they are clean and comfortable. A basic motel room. The grounds in the back are nice. Park like. Tables, chairs and a couple grills. Screened porch. The owner/manager was very helpful. Was a last minute choice at the end of a long day of motorcycle riding. Ended up being a perfect choice.

The room could have used a better cleaning (especially the bathroom) and the bathroom sink did not drain but filled with water when we tried to use it. Also, there was coffee service in the office but only powered creamer which I haven’t seen in about 20 years .

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear the negligence on the part of the housekeeper. We will definitely speak to the housekeeper. Issue with the sink drain could have solved by mentioning it to the front desk. We take lots of pride providing our guests a basic, clean, comfortable room & keep our rooms updated with today's guest's expectations.
