This was more than I was expecting for a roadside motel! Excellent, friendly service, clean and quiet rooms and facilities, and they accomodated an extra early check in. I would definitely stay here again!

The room was hot and musty. The sheets were gross, as if they were dirty and sweaty. They charged us a pet fee but never told us there was one. Avoid this property.

It was clean and close to town. The beds were not very comfortable. But for the price and one night it works.

Fantastic find

What a nice little treasure! It is surprisingly inexpensive for the area, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The room was extremely clean, there were no lingering weird smells, the beds were comfy, and the pillows were above average. I stayed in the back and the picnic areas and fireplace seating were a bonus!

Great location next to busy road but wasnt too loud. I got placed in room 25 which had two stink bugs crawling on the wall and I couldn't shower or brush my teeth due to sink AND shower water reeking of sulphur and rotton eggs. It made the whole bathroom stink. The lady at front desk was short and not helpful.

Loved the property because it was like staying at the hotel in Schitt’s Creek show. I didn’t like that there was no water pressure and temperature wasn’t good either.

I would not stay here again. The price was good and affordable. Buy beds were old and very worn. There were stains on the tile in the bathroom and a broken towel rack. When I checked out to leave I waited more than 20 mins after ringing their bell. I will not recommend this place to anyone. Please save your money and don’t go here.
