Wouldn't stay there again. Air conditioner noise kept me awake. Light over shaving mirror out. Century old motor inn. But at least it was clean.

For the price, this hotel was fine. Outside does not look great but the room was clean. When trying to check out, I could not find anyone despite ringing the bell.

It was a great stay, the hotel was in the perfect location for what we wanted to do. Room was very clean but the pillows bed was very wore out. The shower was nice and very hot water. Was told that the total for the 2 nights was $199.28 but when we checked in the total that we was charged was $207.25 not sure why?

This motel was an old building. Road in front was loud. No lobby. Had to ring a doorbell for service. The room was clean, but when I took a shower brown water came out of the faucet. There was no Wi-Fi. No complementary breakfast.

Love the veiw out the back window! But the room was very small. It would suit the "normal" traveler very well. And though the property was very clean, it is dated. It's a quaint roadside motel, and I was happy that we stayed there. Just wasn't ready for the limited space.

The owner's father was left in charge of the motel. He had just arrived the day before, and he hadn't really been trained, so he had to call his son who was away every time there was a problem. This meant that I had to go to the office every time I wanted to use the internet. The father was doing the best he could given the circumstances.

It was very clean and the staff was nice. The view of the river was nice. The room was very small considering I had paid for a suite. The mattress slid around on the bedframe. I kept having to fix it. There is very little counter space in the bathroom. I had to leave all of my toiletries on the dresser and only bring in a few items at a time as I was using them. Also very few outlets to use for charging. I feel like I overpaid for what I got.
