I’d stay there again

Location to town was good. A little too far to walk to down town but the parking was excellent and convenient. Relaxing atmosphere and the on sight restaurant was very good.

Decent for what it is and there was a kitty!!

The wall outlets didn't work. There were only 2 and neither one worked. The only outlet that worked was the ones attached to the lamp by the bedside table. There's no overhead light so you have to walk across the room to the bed and cut the lamp on There was a standing lamp in the corner I tried to cut on first but it didn't work. The blow-dryer didn't work either (probably because the outlets didn't work that they were plugged into, idk) And when I put the toilet lid down it was really gross around the parts where the lid connects to the seat. And the basket on the counter that they put the soap bottles in was full of dust and men's beard hairs. Other than that though it was spotless, so I can't really complain. They also didn't offer any bars of soap, like for our hands you know. So we had to run to the store and buy a bar of soap ourselves. The bed was okay. It wasn't terrible or anything. The pillows were really bad though. They're feather pillows and completely flat. EVERYTHING ELSE THOUGH was great. We had a fantastic stay, it was very clean for the type of motel it is and there was a nice kitty cat that came to visit us outside. We fed him and petted him and that honestly made the whole experience a 9/10 for us lol. The hotel should adopt him as their hotel cat. I think it would really bring in ALOT of customers and give good reviews. Get him neutered and feed him, let him hang out in the office sometimes! Hes the black and white cat

Great place to stay

The room was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, nice size TV, microwave/refrigerator. Great location, close to everything. The onsite restaurant was really really good and great service. The only bad thing at all was the towels were very small and non absorbant. We would definately stay there again.

Back again.

Rooms have been redone, and were nice. Mattress was to soft for me, but my husband slept well. Needs cleanup on the outside. But apparently remodeling might have still been going on. Which was ok. Restaurant on property was still great and the staff was more than helpful.

The location was excellent, walking distance to main Street and attractions. Was pretty quiet given the road. Lots of food options nearby. Room was ok. Bathroom needed a deep clean. Microwave and tv box didn't work which was frustrating but staff quickly resolved both.
