The property welcomed pets, it was cool in the room, but the heat worked. The room was clean, but the property itself needed cosmetic work. I would stay there again.

Great place for a quick stay

We booked last minute and got a safe, smoke-free, clean room. Our tv didn't work, but we were tired and ready for bed so it wasn't a problem. The price was right and the staff was friendly. We'd stay again. Thank you!

Looking for a quiet place to stay away from the city noise? You have a diner across the street and tons of great outdoors activities nearby. Service was awesome and room had all the amenities I needed for a few days to myself. You pay a competitive price for your visit for what you get.

This little place is a hidden gem. The new owner is a very nice person. She is getting the property back into shape but the rooms are great. Clean and quaint. I would stay here any time I’m through. The value is well worth it.

This was a great little hotel. The owner was very, very friendly and helped get me into an accommodating room right away. The area was very nice. I felt safe. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are on a budget. Very budget friendly but clean, friendly and safe. Nice area.

A Very Good Rate

There was no one at check-in, but it was quick when she came. The room was nice and clean, but the bathtub was very dirty.Very quiet. AC worked great on a hot day. It was a very good rate.

The room was great, but the bathroom was less than desired. It was surprisingly large well layed out room. However, the bathroom was not clean. This may be because it was a last minute booking though

Pet friendly and clean

The motel is conveniently located off the highway, close to many places in town and across from an excellent restaurant. The motel is dated, but has everything you need. It was quiet and clean.

The staff/owner were wonderful. The property seems under renovation and/or newly purchased with some repairs still needing to be made. Rates reflect, in my opinion, a good price even so. Beds were very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The owner was willing to be present to me at midnight on a late arrival with very little notice. Several restaurants within a mile. Charming area.

Great MCM vintage feel and extremely comfortable

Pros- I loved the vintage charm. Staff was wonderfully welcoming and very friendly. Bed was super comfortable. This place is older, think MCM knotty pine and furniture. I loved it. Con’s (or not depending on your needs)- My room looked a bit dim and worn but was very clean and comfy. I was using GPS and the sign wasn’t obvious and came quicker than expected so I drove by and had to re rout the first time. I was here 3 nights and would stay again. If you need a great night sleep at a reasonable price this is a great vintage place. If you need newer and amenities you likely will be better off at a different place.

It's an older 1950s style motel, but the room was clean and it was in a good location near the towpath. They had a bike washing station, which was something the larger hotels wouldn't usually offer.
