There was no one at the front desk for check-in. Then you had to decide which of the 2 phone #'s posted was the one to call. Not very cordial welcome. Rooms smelled funny. Bed was uncomfortable and room just didn't feel clean. AC either froze us out or the room got stuffy & the smell came out more. Wouldn't rate it anywhere near what it was rated.

I like to support smaller businesses, as long as they are clean; and that is what we got. They were in the process of updating the rooms, so they are definitely trying to keep up. All of the staff were extremely friendly. We would definitely stay again.

Adequate for an overnight stay. Towels and shower curtain could use updating. The refrigerator in our room was so loud we had to unplug it so we could sleep.

Nice motel. Old but nice. Very very clean. You're in the country so things like a gravel parking lot or lobby/cereal/coffee bar can be seen as charming. No one on duty at the time of check out 8:30am. Dropped the key in a basket on counter. I would definitely stay there again. The only reason for a 3 star on the property ... some of the furniture needs to be either throne away or given a quality repair. Did I mention the place was very clean?

A nice place for a small community.

This is not a hotel chain. It is individually owned. Our room was in one of the pics of the king sized bed. It was clean and bright. These are fine rooms. I read reviews saying the rooms are dark. Not true. I read a review saying there was no where to plug in a phone. No. There are outlets. We were pleasantly surprised. My husband had sausages and cereal with coffee at the free breakfast. We ate at the restaurant. There were community locals there, also. Don't be afraid to stay here. There are no coffee makers in the rooms; but there's coffee in the lobby.

Complaints

The toilet lid and seat were only attaches on one side till i attached the other side. The shower curtian rod was bowed down, and should be bowed down. Those funky wall lights should have individual switches as well as the main switch. The refrigerator and the TV should not be on a switch. There is no coffee in the room.
