The room was very clean! The only issue I had was with the toilet not flushing properly but that was solved with a couple of uses of a plunger. The room had a log cabin feel and was huge. I loved the frosted windows in the couch area. The bed was a bit harder than I am used to but still reasonably comfortable. Check in was seemless as I booked through Expedia. Would stay again

It wasn’t terrible, wasn’t the best, affordable price!!! And grateful to find a vacant room. Bed was not the most comfortable but a good enough stop for the night before continuing on our travels. Woulda been nice to have a fridge but maybe that was offered in a different room at a different price point.

Perfect Motel
It was a perfect motel; it is simple but perfect! Lots of room, full size fridge, restaurants right next door! I only stayed one night but wish it was longer and would stay here again! The room felt very cozy, with a cottage feel with all the wood, and the high ceilings. The hosts truly care and were incredible!! 10 out of 10!

The owners were so friendly. The room was clean, no bugs, and fit my needs perfectly. I got a kitchenette suite mainly for the fridge to store my food. The towels were very absorbent but tiny. You may want to bring your own towel if you like them big! Highly recommend staying here. I came for a festival and I will definitely be staying here the next year for this festival again!

The vintage motor court lodge has excellent internet, comfy beds & lots of hot water. It's located right next door to a good restaurant The room was clad in gorgeous molding type vertical tongue and groove wood. The tall vaulted ceiling was also wood, creating an inviting space. Everything was spotless. The only thing I didn't like was the in room coffee: the two individual coffee servings were meant for a one cup brewer - not a 12 cup machine! They did provide filters, but I didn't bring coffee... Overall? I'd stay there again.

The room was nice, clean and big, with a full size refrigerator, microwave, tv, ensuite bathroom and all. My only concern was the door kept rattling. I pushed it in once to close it but the lock seemed loose and the doorframe could do with some sealing. This is a simple fix however, to increase guest feeling of safety and maybe save some dollars on heating costs 😁

This motel is older, cabin feel inside. Room was clean. Staff was very friendly! Convenient location, restaurants within walking distance. My only complaint is that the mattress was very hard, and resulted in a very poor sleep.
