We stayed in the Schitt's Creek themed room and it was amazing! The attention to detail was unmatched. A great stay for fans of the show. Besides the theme, the room was wonderful. Very clean and Pia, the owner, really does go above and beyond adding special touches that make the stay very enjoyable. We will be back again!

We are a "chain" hotel family. We reached outside of my comfort zone to stay here. I was nervous upon booking. Upon our very easy check-in, we found our room (#6 The Viking Room) exactly as it appears on the website. My nerves were quickly laid to rest and my vacation began (7 nights). My husband was slated to be a Marshall for the BASS Elite tournament. This meant my staying behind. Everything was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is small but as someone else said "who cares." The sink is located outside the shower/toilet room. We had a fridge, a table with two chairs, a large closet with hangers. We had access to a wonderful firepit, bbq grill, and seating area. We asked for extra wash clothes and towels and received them immediately. It is located in a great area of the small town. I walked everywhere enjoying the local community and fare. Pia (new owner) did an amazing job renovating each room and putting her personal stamp on each. She is talented, creative, smart, and courteous. Pia does well serving her patrons. Easily, we would stay again and again and again. I cannot possibly speak highly enough of this wonderful diamond nestled away in a neighborhood and the change in my attitude of chain hotels only. Loved our visit!!!!!!!

The showers need to be upgraded. The drains weren’t working well. The room we rented was clean; however, the floors and shower hadn’t been cleaned just prior to our arrival. There were dead insects in the shower and the floor had not been swept recently.

I loved this place. Everything was clean and cozy. It was an older place so our bathroom was pretty old and tiny but clean. Abby was very helpful. The location was right in town and there was a lot to do in the surrounding areas. We would go back!

Very clean and friendly!

Very apprehensive for it is old and small. Pleasantly surprise. It was very clean, bed was very comfortable and check in was easy. Somewhat old school but that was great. Office and patio made you feel like you were camping. It was great! We really enjoyed our stay. There are a few things that needs updating but not enough to make us not want to stay there again.

This is a very nice motel. Owners were wonderful. There is a little kitchen for guest use where they have a keurig for morning coffee. We were in room #1, which was very small so I would suggest a different room. The only thing I didn't like is they don't give you shampoo and conditioner. I will def. stay again
