Nice older hotel by wonderful local restaurant Clean room. Friendly staff with a convenient location. Matress was a bit hard (not pillowtop)for my taste. And in the morning we couldnt get hot water. Despite that thought, for the price, along with location and awsome jet tub it was worth it and we enjoyed our stay.

checked in and unpacked. Sink wouldn’t drain. We were told maintenance already left so gave us a different room we had to move into. 1st room was way nicer than substitute room. Shouldn’t it have been the other way around? By the way all the moving of rooms was done in 4 degree weather.

Great motel!

Great stay. Ample parking for my 26’ trailer. Quaint room and decor. Everything worked. Great service upon arrival. Greeted by name, room lights and heater on. Outstanding service. Had dinner at onsite restaurant, great service, value and good food. Not a Hilton but great stopover on the highway 👍😎

Not impressed.

The room was not very good. I did stay with my dog (she is medium sized and weighs under #30. Doesn't bark, potty trained & very well mannered) and so I believe the room I was given was probably the "dog room." I can understand the reasoning but even my dog was not happy either. The carpet for sure was disgusting. Also, it took forever to get so-so hot water.

I don’t know who did other reviews. May they were put in other rooms. Room was disgusting. The floor was covered in oil and grease cobwebs trash in the room. I actually went back to the front desk and turned in my keys. I didn’t stay the night that bad.
