Impressed that the refrigerator has a freezer section with its own door. And the shower head is really good. But the drain in the tub is slow, so you might be taking a bath after all. And if the door closes on its own, it doesn’t latch. You have to pull it shut to lock the room.

What a nice spot. The check in was completely automated - but very simple and much more pleasant than a couple previous places we encountered. This one was simple - you get a message with a code and you type that code on a screen and a little box opens with your key. It’s just like using an Amazon locker or similar. It was super quiet. Very clean. Comfortable, and really in a nice spot walkable to the whole village. The room was well appointed, the AC worked well, and the only staff I interacted with was cleaning staff the next day. They were super friendly. It was a good price, and parking was easy.

We had previously stayed at the Guest House Motel for a number of years under the previous owners that were very friendly and accommodating. We found out that the motel was purchased and reopened as the Trail Inn. We were at first surprised at the fact that there is no one in the lobby to check in. Most communications were made by text message. We were text messaged a code that we used to open a key safe inside the lobby. It was very easy to get our room key. We were also told in the text message that any problems that we may have we should text and someone will take care of it as soon as possible. Luckily one of the owners happened to be standing in the lobby as we commented how strange is was to check into a hotel this way. He told us that this enabled the motel to offer higher wages to the maintenance staff so that they could get better employees. So we thought that made sense. We stayed in the newer motel and the room was remodeled very nicely with new paint and new carpeting. Keurig coffee maker in room provided with coffee and tea. We were pleasantly surprised at what was done in the room. We love staying in the Amana Colonies so we were so glad that the motel was open again and the new owners are working on getting everything remodeled inside and out. Would recommend the Trail Inn!

I gave 5 stars to the staff but it’s kind of self service, but questions were answered promptly. Room was clean and I didn’t have a problem with the A/C and it was 85 and humid.
