No one at counter when we checked in. Rang a bell for service but took her a long time to come out. Very little available for free breakfast. No ice machine. Sink and tub didn't drain very well. Room was clean but one chair in the room was ripped up and needed put in a dumpster. Our room was around back of motel and only one other room occupied in our section so it was really quiet.

Dated property with minimal outlets. Doors face parking lot, so in winter the cold comes in through gaps. Shower/toilet are cramped. Hot water was nonexistent.

The property is worn out. When you plug a power adaptor into the wall and it falls out of the receptacle that only comes from wear and tear. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast was adequate. Time for ownership to start reinvesting.

The motel looked old but the staff was friendly and my room was spacious and clean. When we arrived, the restaurant was unavailable due to a private party (it was packed with dressed people) but the staff kindly recommended some restaurants in downtown Ridgeway. We went to a nice restaurant which was within a five-minute drive from the motel. Breakfast was prepared at 6:30 am. It was milk, orange juice, bread, and cereals. The motel is a 40-minute drive from the Elk Country Visitor Center. Overall, we were satisfied with our experience.

Will stay again and again!

We really loved this place! For an inn built in 1962 it is so well kept and wonderfully original. Very homey. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The restaurant/bar had the best prime rib dinner we've ever had. We plan to go back any chance we get.

It was like stepping back to 1955. The decor of the entire place was like stepping back into the 50's or 60's. The furniture in the rooms was in dire need of updating. One of the chairs wiggled every time you sat in it. The bathroom was bizarre, sink in the hall, toilet and shower were on the other side of the door, and were so crowded you pretty much had to stand in the shower to close the door. Everything seemed clean, but very old. The Continental breakfast consisted of single wrapped Danish that were stale and dry, single serve boxes of cold cereal, bread that was already pretty dry for making toast, coffee, tea and orange juice. The only source for heat was a small electric space heater. In general, I felt like I stepped into a time warp from 1955
