I got locked out of my room in the evening and there was nobody on call or at the desk (or any other way to contact a worker) to let me back in, so I had to find other sleeping arrangements. Other than that the day workers were extremely nice and helpful, and the room was very nice.

This was a quaint place to stay. Customer service was excellent. And they had a lot of fun amenities such as making s’more’s on top of a fire and game area which was so much fun and lovely to hang out in so if you’re looking for a place to stay that offers, just a hint of light entertainment that’s cozy, this will be your place beds were comfy the room was clean and it was quiet. Close to shops, places to eat both driving and walking.

Room what cold, heater didn't heat room to a comfortable temperature. Parking was horribly tight - glad we brought our small car and not the one we usualy drive. The lighting was horrible in the room. I had to purchase a light so I could read.

Fun place if you’re in the mood for a nicely renovated drive up motel. The furnishings are nice, the bed is comfortable the parking is free and neighborhood is safe. The staff was very helpful and opened early without fuss when locked myself out of my room. More plugs on the desk would be appreciated. We all need to charge our devices before the next day’s adventure

I loved the location and most of the staff very kind courteous. Melanie especially went out of her way to be helpful. In their brochure there are several sections lauding the great biking in the area. Once you arrive after you rent bikes you might or might not notice a small sign saying no ebikes allowed on the premises. No one says anything about it upon checkin. In fact after several discussions with staff only about half of them were aware of this rule. We came from Pennsylvania with the main purpose of our trip being to bike the great trails they advertise. It really cast a pall upon the trip. The refrigerator leaked constantly and was "fixed" twice. When I checked there was still water leaking in the room. Washrags were also impossible to procure. It is still a pretty cool place and was reasonably priced.

Appears to be an older motel that has been updated. Rooms are adequate. Beds too soft. Front office/bar is really cute and staff is very helpful.

I was very disappointed at the room service. We spent the night got up showered came back to the room several hours later and still had wet towels on the floor, trash not picked up and beds not touched! Am I asking too much? The parking is very very tight. No refrigerator and no microwave. Floor underneath the bed was filled with dust bunnies. No I did not enjoy the stay. The check in staff was outstanding however….

We like the basecamp-style of this facility (the cooler not a fridge, decor, bed), how friendly is the staff, the activities (smores, climbing wall), spa and sauna. We like how close it was from Pearl Street at 15 minutes walking distance.
