What I liked: price was reasonable/less than nearby towns; proximity to family events in Auburn was perfect; amenities (refrigerator, coffee pot, TV) were good; vintage bathroom was charming What I didn't like: no or inconsistent hot water in sink and shower; water had a 'funny' color (not clear and colorless); tub drain backed up immediately so must've been clogged with hair/other debris from previous guests

If I would pay 80-90$ per night then fine, I would know what to expect. But I paid 199$. I expected descent conditions. The place was dirty, dust on the floor. The smell in the room was horrible - strong cheap perfume, probably from the laundry. The water in the bathtub didn’t drain properly and left an unpleasant puddle around my feet during the shower. The photos on the website didn’t match the actual experience. Again — if I were paying $80–90, that’s what I would expect to get. But not for $200. True, it’s still relatively inexpensive, but it’s still $200 — and for that price you can deliver much more value. There were no available power outlets in the room — I had to move the bed just to find one. The old AC unit made an unpleasant noise. The tap water had a terrible taste; we didn’t drink it, of course, but even brushing our teeth with it was pretty shocking. One of the lamps was flickering like it was about to burn out, so I just turned it off. The toilet paper in the bathroom was whatever was left from the previous guest — a partially used roll. Not exactly pleasant. Bottom line, not the best experience...

good for a few nights

I would describe this place as adequate. Certainly not upscale, but comfortable enough for a few nights. Not great water pressure, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable

A clean bargain!

The cleanest motel I’ve ever been in! Although this is a very modest propriety that hasn’t been updated, it is well maintained and well attended to. Very affordable and well located. Support small businesses and independent properties!

Loud and no staff

I'm a solo traveler. At some point after I went to sleep a very loud gathering happened seemingly right outside my door. It was LOUD and when I tried to call the desk there was no answer. I felt incredibly unsafe as well as having my sleep interrupted to the point that I do not feel safe driving today

After reading all of the positive reviews we were surprised to find all these issues with the room: -what appeared be blood stains on the bed sheets -shower didn’t work properly (hot water and water pressure) - bathroom was grimy with missing tile and missing door molding -slight odor in the room It’s nice to save money but it’s worth it to pay a little extra and stay in one of the nice properties in town (Packwood House, Arbor House, Sherwood Inn)
