I thought the properly was on the riverside or in view. It wasn't. It was a one floor xoncrete structure with 6 doors outside in a parking lot behind the old building shown. It was modern, clean. No temperature control in room, we were freezing. Also no phone service to call number on door to be let inside.

IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES I CAKE ACROSS. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE HOTEL, NO STAFF. NO ONE RECIEVED US. WE WAITED FOR AN HOUR, KEPT KNOCKING ON THE OFFICE DOOR AND THEN FINALLY LEFT SONCE NO ONE CAME. WHEN I CALLED FOR A REFUND, THE OWNER WAS A "RACIST". HE WAS RUDE AND DID NOT GIVE US A REFUND. TO WHICH, WHEN I APPROACHED EXPEDIA, it was not their policy to refund someonw if the hotel does not refund. So here I am, ruined my vacation, wasted my $100 and faced Racism

Hidden gem

Easy to reserve, owner answered second ring, arranged for late arrival so didn't have to leave meeting, tavern and small grocery/fuel next door. Room was large, beds were perfect, shower was hot. Fridge and microwave in room. Ideal for short or long term.

The owners live two doors down and greeted us at our room two minutes after we called. They provided dining recommendations at a town 12 miles away as nothing was open in town. Motel itself was roomy, comfortable, and clean.

NO-STAY STAY

We arrived at 5:30. The doors were locked, the lights were out, there were no cars around. We looked all around and then left. We had to find another motel late in the day. My payment was nonrefundable. We will try not to stay at a "nonrefundable" place again.

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

The owner, Bill, and his wife went way above and beyond their duties to help us out in a pinch. We actually broke down 18 minutes from there. They came out to get us and our stuff after hours and gave us a ride back to the motel. The next day, Bill even gave us a ride to the next town up where our car was going to be worked on. We don’t know what we would have done without their help! The motel is definitely “no-frills,” but if you like to fly fish, as my husband does, you will be very happy there with the river so close by. The friendliness of the people easily makes up for the rustic nature of the accommodations!

The motel is very clean. For a basic motel this is ok. Safe and fresh clean sheets. Double beds. The owner—call if you come in by 8 pm— kindly left the door to our reserved room unlocked for us as no one was present.
