Great town nice motel.

Great location very clean room. Great hot water and great breakfast. Not extremely soundproof and we could hear the TV in the next room throughout the entire night. Although very comfortable we were not able to sleep well due to the television next door. Very nice amenities in town but all are closed on Sunday so the recommendation is to get the early Saturday to enjoy the museums and shops .

Clean. Modest. Chose this property expecting an Amish owned and run hotel but it wasn’t. Also chose this hotel because it was pet friendly. But on arrival port allowed but $25 fee. $25 no unreasonable but didn’t like not knowing beforehand about it.

Our 5-day stay was great! The small breakfast place was a great meeting place in the morning where we met many wonderful people. We have a service dog and he was received wonderfully. It was just very small. We met some family there and the visiting area was limited but it worked. I would stay here again. It was good.

Quiet Quaint Hotel

Our stay with this hotel was very nice,front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was good size for only two only thing it lacked was comfortable chairs to sit in. The other issue I had was they have breakfast in the morning but it's only available 7-9 am It should be available till at least 10 am some people are not early risers! Very clean room,I would recommend this hotel for a nice quiet place to stay!

Would not recommend! No hot water in shower, fridge was turned off. Toilets are small. Property has no intent on upgrading facility. Do yourself a big favor and spend a few bucks more on a decent hotel..avoid this place!

Was just OK better hotels in area. The "free breakfast" was in a tiny waiting area with perhaps 8 chairs or so. Would not recommend. But if no other options available in area it will do.

This is your basic motel, which we wanted for a quick one night stay. Room was clean, great area. We did not take advantage of their breakfast, but they do offer one. Check in was super simple and staff was very friendly!
