Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The main problem during our stay was the noise. The walls are extremely thin — we could hear everything, even the people in the next room using their microwave. We were placed between two rooms that seemed to be traveling together, and they partied and slammed their doors throughout the night. By 3 AM, we had to ask them to quiet down. I even have video of how loud it was. It’s also evident that the hotel is aware of the noise issue, as there are white noise machines already placed in the rooms. Unfortunately, even with that, we barely slept. The hotel itself has potential, but room placement and noise control need serious attention.

The motel uses contact-less check-in by sending a code to our phones. The room is clean and pleasant. There is plenty of parking at the property.

Great staff. Big room. Nice continental breakfast. Rooms a little hard to keep warm (high ceilings and heat rises!). Took a while for the hot water to show up.

Class and comfort

The Yardarm is a wonderful place to stay. This completely redone 1950’s motel has the most comfortable beds, quality bedding and heaps of pillows I wish I could taken home! The owners are visible every day but not intrusive. Grounds are delightful complete with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs. Wood, fire starter and bug spray are readily available. If you like to sit comfortably outside your room on a porch, walk your pet in peaceful silence in the woods behind the motel, know your trash is recycled and generally enjoy fresh air and quality comfort the Yardarm is the place for you Heather, Frank and Joe.

Great place and very nice owners. Quaint comfortable hotel attached to a beautiful home. Nice continental breakfast included in a pretty dining room. The owners are very nice, they make you feel at home. Hershel went out of his way to correct a glitch in the reservation that we made through a third party site. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Loved the friendly text message as we were late arrivals that told us how to enter the room and numbers for any issues, located on the door. (very safe no contact for those that need that), Breakfast room had all sorts of options for ease of breakfast and enjoyment of the morning air. Loved the historical information posted inside the building as well. The room had a cabin-like feel and a calm atmosphere.
