I have to say for the amount paid for the room I expected better. Room felt muggy, floor had ripples in it, and the AC filter light was on. Checked the AC and it had mold developing on the vents and the unit was very dirty itself. I guess you get what you pay for but when they expect almost 100/night they should have things maintained for overall health of their clients staying. My daughter has respiratory issues. Lets not forget 1 washcloth in the whole room for a party of 3.

Underrated

This hotel is highly under rated. My room was clean and the people that run it great and very accommodating. The room was decorated with lots of character and nice furniture. I extended my stay for 3 more weeks.

Disliked: Amenities
The property isn't impressive from the outside but better once I got into the room. The interior decorating is unique with one wall lined with raw cedar planks. The room has an unusual order which may be due to the cedar. The bed was okay and the pillows were narrow so I needed two to support the head. I guess you should not expect luxury for the price.

Nothing out their is home so stay clam

Over all the stay was good for the price there’s always small things like the mirror was to high for my wife to see into the plugins need replaced next to the sink. The fart fan sounded like it was going to take off through the roof the bed was ok. This building was built a very long time ago keep that in mind

The decor was unique and looked to be recent. Rural wildlife theme was unusual as was the corrugated metal wall coverings.. Electric wood stove space heater was interesting but hard to operate without instructions. Room had a nice recliner. Bed was comfortable. Although it looks to be styled like an old motel, all room doors were internal.

Not what I was expecting

For the cheap price per night I guess I got what I paid for. It's old, I couldn't get the room warm enough. The beds are old, and lumpy, but here's the best part; there was a taxidermy coyote in a leg trap propped up on a shelf in the corner of the room. Dust bunnies on the ceiling, and a reclining chair that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. DO NOT believe the photos on the website!! Like i said, it was cheap per night when I should've just spent the extra money for the Super 8 or more money for the Cobblestone.. at least those hotels gave you breakfast in the morning.

Rooms are cute

This hotel is kind of a different experience. The price is nice. The rooms are cute. The only problem we had was the outside of the hotel needs some major updates. The weather was of course a little on the cold side so a down fall was the heater is a combination heater/AC so when it would kick on it blew cold air and right before shutting off it would blow cold air. It took a good 4 hours for us to get it set high enough to have a warm room. The ice machine wasnt working at all. The office is only open from 7 am to 11 pm. There was also a lot of parking lot noise and hallway noise that you could hear in your room.

The room wasn’t terrible. It was clean, but outlets & lamps didn’t work, fan in bathroom was loud enough to wake the dead. Plus the bathroom door is unfinished wood so it was swollen & wouldn’t close completely.

The room was fine it was everything else that I frowned at. The parking lot the spots were not defined making it hard to park as people just parked wherever they wanted. The entrance to the building ground was covered in cigarette butts.

The man at the front desk was really rude when I had been told previously I could check in after 10 PM with no problem - just need to give them a call when I got there. Instead, the man was testy and combative. The room smelled musty and old. I won't visit this hotel ever again.
