Older hotel in need of an update and more staff

Arrived after 7 pm and the room was not ready. It was apparently due to lack of staff and the hotel being slammed the night before. The hotel is dated and in serious need of an update/ remodel. The A/C unit worked poorly and it took over 5 hours to cool down the room. The staff, especially the manager, Lisa, were very friendly and apologetic for the room delay.

Would not recommend

The reason I’m giving this a 2-stars is because of the service I received the day I arrived from Brynn. She was at the front desk and super helpful when our room had issues. She deserves a raise because of all she was doing with a smile on her face. You would think that ownership and management would make sure this motel was prepared for an influx of people by checking rooms and making sure they had people working. It appears they were not prepared. Upon arrival, check in was fine but once we got to our room there were issues. There was no TV, no trash can, only 2 bath towels, and our door wouldn’t shut without absolutely slamming it. The items that were missing were eventually brought to us after a few times of asking. The curtains have holes in the back of them and you can only open them by taking one of the pleat hooks off (see picture). There are only outlets on one side both of the bed so only 1 lamp nearby and no other place to plug in a phone to charge. The bathroom had multiple stains on the ceiling tiles and tons of places you could tell had been patched. On the first night, we discovered after slamming our door shut that we couldn’t even lock the deadbolt for the night. So we had to put a chair under the doorknob to provide a little bit of extra comfort/safety. Another night we arrived back at our hotel and had issues getting our door open. I went to the front desk and no one was there to assist even after using a call bell.

Overbooked and turned away with nowhere to stay

Arrived and the front desk woman states that I have no reservation and that the previous owners have been overbooking the hotel for 6+ months. I was turned away with absolutely no help and no where to stay in such a small town. The woman appeared scared and untrained. Hotels.com called the property and no one was able to give them any information on the billing and if I would be charged or refunded. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Went to check in, we were told the room we had reserved was not longer available and she was not too sure if they would have a room. Then she proceeded to let us know that there computer is not working, but there was not a computer at the check-in desk. The lobby was unkept and dirty.

We waited 30 minutes for staff to show up, only to be told there were no clean rooms. We looked around for assistance and saw the kitchen area full of dirty dishes. We cancelled along with another family with the same problem. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

No one ever came to check us in, despite multiple phone calls & ringing the bell at the front desk. The hotel we ended up at said that happens daily with Northgate Inn. Save yourself the frustration & stay at The Village Inn!

It is a hidden gem of motel. Our hikes was at Stanley and stay at Stanley was 350 per night . This place was only 100. Dining options was great around . Room was clean and beds comfortable. Lisa at front desk was sweetest and friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Minimalistic

Rented a king, was given a queen, all that was available. No soaps of any kind. No hand towels. Curtains were torn. Antique AC, could not regulate temp. All in all, not very inviting, cold. Needs help.
