Nice property but room was very dirty

This is a nice property with beautiful surroundings. And the owner is very nice and offers free snacks and beverages in his office. But unfortunately, our room was quite dirty. The shower had pink mold in the corners. The corners of the bathroom and wooden moldings had dirt and dust. The toilet had a mold ring from where the water line sits. The back of the white front door was full of black marks. The bathroom door had a huge stain which I'm hoping was from a spilled coffee. We could feel dirt on the floor when walking barefoot. Given the other reviews, perhaps we just got a bad room. But these issues combined with the price we paid at $200 / night is unacceptable.

This is a very nice motel. Clean rooms, very accommodating manager. I was looking for a one night place that was clean, quiet and simple. The Woodford Inn was all of that. When I returned to the area next year, I will spend more than one night, it’s a wonderful stay.

The manager Hahn was very hospitable and always very attentive to anything you need. In addition to that they always had lots of food, coffee, snacks, and other items for free in the office at all times, fantastic coast. Great property and I highly recommend it. That said air conditioner is quite loud, refrigerated at work and the lighting is a little difficult, but since we were up there to be in the mountains, the scenery around was breathtaking and we had a fantastic time… Our second time there. We look forward to coming back many times.

I would have rated this as average until I saw they charged me more than the price stated on Orbitz. Due to the fact that I tried multiple times via phone and email to contact the property prior to my stay with no success, I don’t have high expectations in getting this made right. The AC unit was broken in my room, which they were aware of before I arrived, because they put an extra fan in the room. Unfortunately it was hot enough that the extra fan didn’t do much. I ended up leaving a day early because it was just too hot. The room itself was fine… I killed a beetle and a big spider, but the place is in the mountains. The owner is very nice and seems interested in making sure guests are happy. Until I saw the overcharge, I was on the fence about booking again. With that and the fact that you can’t get a hold of them unless you’re at the property, I would absolutely not stay here again.

I was honestly moved by the level of service at this motel. The rooms are recently redecorated, modern, and clean (much of the furniture having been built by the owner and his family). The owner stayed up late to welcome us when we arrived, laid out a tray of snacks for us, stocked the fridge with cold water, and the next morning made us coffee. The shower had good warmth and water pressure. The air conditioning worked well. The only thing I'd change is to make the bed more firm - The soft mattress topper felt comfy to lay back onto but was a bit hot to sleep on.
