Not what we expected. We've stayed at the Robin Hood Motel in the past but wanted to check out a Motel closer to town. Won't stay here again.

The room was super clean and the bed very comfortable. It was relatively quiet and good value for money. I wish there had been a bedside light or two, and I did not like the air freshener/cleaning product smell at all. I’m not usually fussy about smells but it was pervasive.

No Frills, Good Deal For Area

It was a basic room, with no frills. It was clean and was fine for our two night stay. Only drawback was the shower only got lukewarm. The price was good for the area.

Beautiful setting and convenient location however located on a very busy road so there was a lot of road noise. You can tell that perhaps there is a new owner and they are trying to renovate. The kitchenette was nice to have and had brand new dishes (still stickered and unclean) Bedding was nice but for just being cleaned that morning, one of the beds gad all sorts of fun bugs inside. The room setup was a little strange and the overall cleanliness was lacking. Air filter for one of the window units was filthy and we had frequent bugs inside the whole time. I dropped something on the floor and when I went to clean up, there was broken glass stuck all under the cabinet where there was a big gap in the flooring. Putting your bare feet to close would cut your foot right open. They get an A for effort but still needs a lot of work to make it "nice."

Hidden Gem!

A hidden gem! Beautiful grounds/ relaxing! Older motel/ UPDATED. Room was extra spacious, beds comfortable. Very nice to have kitchette available for coffee, morning breakfast. Having a deck off room - heaven! Was great to have woods / sounds of nature with our coffee in am. Great location - minutes from EVERYTHING!

This was just the right place for us. We came into town for a concert and the proximity to everything was great. The room had just what we needed at a great price. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to visit the races!

Location isolated & quiet. Manager - accomodating, brought us cups and chair, new batteries for remote. No chair in room, no hangers, A/C too high to adjust, had to unplug to turn it off. Some discomfort with no curtain on bathroom window but privacy glass okay.

Convenient stay.

Room was totally clean. It is an Adirondack style motel with little amenities but there was shampoo/conditioner. Body lotion. Hand soap and bath soap. They tell you your room # just before you arrive and the door is open with the key on the desk. When you leave, you leave the key on your desk, and you are informed to lock the door when you leave. There is not an office area but they do communicate to you via email. If you need anything you email them. You park right outside your door. Adirondack chairs outside your room to sit and relax. Wi-Fi and cable t.v. Microwave and refrigerator in the room.

Stay went very well. Very convenient location with easy check in and check out. Staff responded immediately to a question we had. I would recommend a few things to make this hotel bette. A roll of paper towers in the kitchen area. Some tissues in the bathroom and some silverware to go with the dishes provided. A full length mirror would also be a welcome.

Nearly Trapped!

There were some pros to staying here: 1) it was very clean. 2) it is not downtown, but easy to get to from downtown 3) the relatively low price during Dance Flurry weekend 4) the rooms have been updated since my last stay However, there were some quite serious cons. When I first arrived at the hotel, I had been given the wrong room number, and frightened another guest. When I got to my room, there was no key, as the message had specified there would be. Being able to lock the door when you leave your hotel room is a basic expectation of mine. I called the number I’d been given, which is not the same as the listed number on Google maps or the one I was given when I called that listed number. The person at that number told me she could come in half an hour with another. It took closer to an hour for her to arrive. Furthermore, the door sticks, and so with the key is still very hard to open. More seriously, that night, knowing that the key that should’ve been there could’ve been taken by someone else, I bolted the door. (The chain lock was missing the chain.) in the morning. I could not get the bolt open! After trying for over 15 minutes, I made plans to leave the room through the window. I called that number again and reached no one but left a voicemail. I gave the door one last desperate attempt and was able to free myself, and left a second voicemail to that effect. I never heard back from the hotel at all in response to these problems. I will not return.
