Quick, overnight visit while on a road trip. Customer service was solid, while the facility itself is as expected for the price paid.

No frills stay for great price. Great owners/hosts. Kind and caring about their guests. Found room to be very clean, bedding clean, great mattress & sleep. Liked having refrigerator & microwave. A few miles from town which made it quiet and feel safe. Enjoyed grassy area out front with furniture provided by owners.

Hosts were very nice. Room was clean and a nice size though a little run down. Had a good refrigerator and television. Bed was squeaky and the whole bed moved when either of us moved.

I had reservations from Nov. 18 - Nov. 26 but checked out on Nov. 23 and they never credited my debit card back. I have stayed there 2 other times before. I won't be staying there again!

Clean and comfortable, but theres an odor in the bathroom and the hot water is maybe 85° making shower very uncomfortable. Stayed, but would not stay again.

Stayed in a diff room then normal, Rm 26. Love it! Hopefully we can get that room everytime we stay. Only thing the mattresses were a bit too hard for us. I have a bad back and am having bad problems right now. Hubby works a hard job and is always sore and achy. So that wasnt in our favor. But everything else was wonderful as always

NO Hot Water couldn't take showers. was my only complaint. Front desk guy was nice, and room fairly clean, could use some updating. Probably won't be back until hot water issue is resolved, but was told by management that that's the way it is....NO Hot Water

This was literally the worst place I have ever stayed at. The bath towels were all yellow and looked dirty. I did not sleep in the covears of the because I was afraid is God knows what I did not sleep in the covears of the because I was afraid is God knows what. I am no wilting flower, But this was beyond a bad place to stay. I ended up driving 20 miles away and stayed in a Motel 6 that was like a palace comparatively.

Low rate for an average to above rate stay.
Friendly and accommodating front desk attendant. For the rate this was a good deal. I suggest raising the bar on cleaning practices.

Don’t be afraid like I was at first. The owners don’t speak English well but with a little effort once makes it through ok. Totally good. Outdated but I can’t imagine a better value… and I’ve paid three times this for much lower quality. I’d stay here again.

Older motel under remodeling.
this is a older motel in a small town. Expectations were low, but was lower than I had hoped. The Motel is under remodeling, but the carpet and the bed covering was dirty and stained. hopefully it will improve with the remodel, but for now its a no-go.

Paid more than was quoted online.
Is in ok condition. Very outdated could use some upgrades in the carpet and paint but for a short stay I've experienced much worse. Got overcharged and they refunded some of the money but not all make sure you are 100 percent clear on your booking. Freindly owners have a very thick accent hard to underr.

Nice, Cozy
This motel would make you think 'Schitts Creek" but really its so nice. They have done a lot of work on renovations and making everything look really nice. The staff was very friendly and knew how to get to my rabbit show, plus had a printed out map for guests. I didn't know that pets were an extra amount which would have been nice, but it wasn't unreasonable either. Will stay here again for other shows.
