Clean room and everyone was so nice. Enjoyed our stay and was walkable to shops and dinning. There was a moldy smell that seemed to get in my clothes. It wasn’t horrible but definitely made them not smell the best or freshly laundered as they were when I packed them.

Everything was great. We gave a 4/5 for property conditions because the coffee pot in the room had a problem. We reported that and it was quickly and easily taken care of. Good place to stay for the $$.

Peaceful Retreat

Best price in town-right behind Bronners basically. Nothing fancy but just perfect for sleeping- the bed was amazing. I will stay here again because it was perfectly clean & in a nice peaceful setting.

Room has a smell - the typical "we sprayed something to cover up a worse smell". Food froze in the refridgerator. Breakfast itself, as well as the tiny area to eat at the front desk, was grossly inadequate! No one was interested to even ask how our stay was.

This is a perfect little place to stay in Frankemuth. It's a modest hotel, but is clean, has updates and the room was spacious. It's close to everything we were here to see, so that was a plus. We'd definitely stay here again.
