Very friendly place, our room smelled a bit, but once your in the smelled goes away, I think from having the door closed. Plenty of parking. Air conditioning works great. Motel is in walking distance to stores and resturants. Not the Hilton, but beds were comfortable. And a nice place to stay for sleeping.

Requested a quiet area but was told that hotel was full (when it wasn’t) and you get what you get. Room smelled and stains on the carpet. A warmer, kinder greeting by front desk would make a difference rather than being rude and abrupt.

It’s not the fanciest place ,but it was perfectly fine. Could use some updating. It was a place to sleep, while out exploring and visiting family. I would recommend it and I would go back myself next time I am in Bancroft.

This Motel is showing its age, we stayed for 2 nights, our room was very humid and smelled musty, the door closer on the exterior hallway door was not working so everytime someone entered the door would slam. You have to leave your footwear in the lobby if you want to use the pool. We stayed here as it was our only option in Bancroft for these dates and will look harder next time.
