I would describe this place as adequate. Certainly not upscale, but comfortable enough for a few nights. Not great water pressure, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable

Liked: Staff & service
What I liked: price was reasonable/less than nearby towns; proximity to family events in Auburn was perfect; amenities (refrigerator, coffee pot, TV) were good; vintage bathroom was charming What I didn't like: no or inconsistent hot water in sink and shower; water had a 'funny' color (not clear and colorless); tub drain backed up immediately so must've been clogged with hair/other debris from previous guests

A clean bargain!

The cleanest motel I’ve ever been in! Although this is a very modest propriety that hasn’t been updated, it is well maintained and well attended to. Very affordable and well located. Support small businesses and independent properties!

This motel was comfortable but bare-bones. The lobby was never open; we had to ring and call for service. Bathroom had no plugs/outlets, toilet handle was cracked. Beds were comfy and clean. Seemed overpriced for what we got.

The room was dated, but it was clean and comfortable. The Staff was a young Indian lady, I don't know if she could even speak English, but she confirmed our reservation and gave me the room key. We wanted to return the key to Check Out, nobody in the locked Office, so left the key in the room.

The motel is good for the price and also it is pet friendly . The beds are comfortable and it is quiet to sleep. The area around the motel is beautiful with lots to do.

This property is quite old and outdated. However, all the towels and linens were of nice quality and the bed was very comfortable. If you need a place to lay your head for the night and don’t want to spend a ton of money, this place will do.
