I arrived five minutes before the office closed. The young man was friendly and when I was given a key (a KEY!) I was thrilled. This place is a classic, road side motel. It's old but clean. Nice bed, shower was small but with very hot water, microwave and 'fridge. I had a balcony room right on the river with two rocking chairs. Both nights I stayed there there were logs burning in a fire pit right next to the river so the sent of a campfire filled the air. When I turned in my key the young man said he hoped I'd return because "You're family now." Wonderful, old-school place with a lot of charm.
Small bathroom with very hot water.
They still use a key!

Room was as expected for an older hotel. BUT I booked and paid for a room with 2 queen beds - and what we got was 1 Queen bed and 1 Twin. I called and explained and they said it was the same “room category” as I booked and nothing else available. No refund either. Also…. The only light in the room is an excruciatingly bright 3 tube LED without a cover that is blinding. I have migraines and ask for a lamp with a dimmer bulb. No lamps either. Keep these things in mind should you plan to stay here.

Small room but nice river view. Good for a couple of days. The major detail to fix is that the toilet was not properly attached to the floor, as a result, it shaken when sitting on it.

The hotel is outdated and it was clean except for a couple of spiders in the room and dirty towels that the maid used to wipe down the room before we got there (I guess she forgot them) but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Extremely disappointing. I actually feel bad about saying this but Room 129 was lousy. Entry door latch was falling out of the door and daylight was showing around the door when it was closed. Ceiling light was bare bulbs. The "non smoking" room stunk badly of cigarette smoke. The bathroom was missing a wall tile and the bathtub had been repainted with a brush. Then touched up with a brush in another colour. But the worst part was the double bed. It sagged so badly in the middle it felt like it had a hole in it. A simple piece of plywood would fix it. I hardly slept. So the room was just badly run down. The plus side? I can't fault the housekeeping. Despite it being a wreck it was clean.

You get what you pay for, but we were not expecting how run down and shabby this hotel is. Dirty, numerous attempted fixes, paper thin doors, and even found unused women’s diapers in our restroom cabinet. The river behind the motel, very nice staff at check in, and its location are the bright spots.

The door did not have a dead bolt or throw over chain. Locked and unlocked with a key only. The walls were very thin so you could hear conversations from the next room. The carpet on the stairs and hallway was very dirty. Our room was clean but the bathtub was very stained and the drain was gross since it appeared to be rusted out.
