The self service property was clean, had been updated quite recently and the room looked very nice inside. Overall an enjoyable stay. I had issues checking in, but the host came within 10 minutes to assist. Very helpful.

My partner and I travel for business from time to time and he and I really enjoyed staying here. It was extremely peaceful and cute with a vintage vibe. The owner Kathy was very helpful and kind. It was also so nice to hear the river from our room and to spend some time in nature. The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to get good rest while on our work trip. If we are back in the area we will definitely book here again.

Rooms were stylish and trendy. Some small stains in the tub and on the shower curtain but overall a clean room. The stopper under our door was coming up and one of the sockets looked like it was burnt. Can definitely see where they are making improvements. A lot of clicking at night.

When I arrived, there was no one on site. As a result, I ended up making reservations at a different hotel. I am VERY UNHAPPY with the entire experience. I paid a significant amount of money for the room, and expect I do not qualify for a refund as I did not cancel prior to my arrival. Had I known there would be no one at the hotel I would have cancelled. The picture does not accurately represent how the hotel looks from the road. It was very misleading.

3 night stay

Overall a nice, large room. There was a layer of dust on the tabletops, and the floor was quite dirty. There are not a lot of options in the area, so I would stay there again, but will ask for a vacuum cleaner to be available.

Room was so bright with outside deck and intermittent car lights from parking lot. Property is run down and a mess. Bathroom had 4 lights over the mirror with 2 of them burned out. A box of Kleenex would have been a luxury. There was a dead bug in the medicine cabinet. You could clearly hear everything in the adjoining rooms.

The codes for the room doors are generic, meaning every guest can figure out every room’s code. Completely inadequate security. I barricaded my door and still had a hard time sleeping. Also, there was no hot water for a morning shower.

The owner is nice as can be, but unfortunately I have to be honest in this review- My night there was not pleasant by any means. Parking was a bit of an issue as the bar/restaurant loaded the parking lot and then there were cones out on the far end of the parking area which really made it hard to park. Front door to the room didn't entirely shut which allowed flying bugs into the room all night. There were gnats or something all over the room- on the pillow, on the bed, in the bathroom. The light outside the front door attracts them. The light in the closet does not shut off. Switch in the hinge area is faulty. Awful trying to sleep with a light blaring into the room all night. Shower water went cold about 45 seconds into me getting a shower. Not ideal. No wifi- which also meant no TV. The TV also turned itself on several times throughout the night searching for wifi which woke me up 2 or 3 times. There's no cell service either, so the lack of working wifi really didn't help matters. The bed "rocks" side to side and is very low. A lot of the furnishings were brand new, which was nice. Friends of mine got the room for $65 cheaper than I did booking through Expedia.

Not bad for a night

Overall, it was good for what we needed, which was a decent place to stay overnight after a concert. Check in was a little confusing because you actually have to go into the bar/restaurant that’s attached & check in at the bar…..but, there was nothing that tells you that, we just circled the building until we decided we’d go inside & see if they could direct us…..which they did, but it would have been helpful to have some sort of sign that said “check-in.” We watched several people pull up & circle the building because they were just as confused as we were! But, the bar/restaurant that was attached had a very chill vibe with cool bartenders & the food was really good, especially after driving 3 hours! Rooms were cozy for the night…..bed wasn’t super comfortable, but for 1 night, it was ok. The town itself is pretty desolate, so to have a room that also had a bar/restaurant attached was pretty ideal!
