Was fine-clean, friendly staff at check in, until you come in at 9:20 and while discuss the amazing meal you had the room next door yells “shut the f*** up b*****s” through the door that separates the two room. Definitely do not feel comfortable and will not be returning.

The Deitzel is a quaint old-fashioned motel, with cute fixtures one no longer finds, like the porcelain gas wall heaters and built-in chest of drawers. However, it is not upscale, so if you require such touches, this is not the place for you. One must appreciate vintage preservation to enjoy this stay. We felt comfortable once we got the AC to stay on. (Turn it off the auto setting). The beds were a little too soft for our liking, but others may enjoy how pillowy they are. Late night check in staff was pleasant and gave good suggestions for places to eat. We enjoyed looking out at deer in the early morning through the gorgeous windows that make up pretty much the entire back wall. Overall, the room served its purpose, with a little retro charm added in.

Retro Vibe Awesome Stay

Wonderful stay! The room was spotless, and the check-in process was warm and welcoming. I especially enjoyed waking up to the peaceful view of deer right outside my window — such a lovely touch of nature. I would definitely stay here again!

The room we stayed in was clean and everything worked. The room was falling into disrepair, though. The door to bathroom had a laminate that was badly damaged, the beds creaked quite a lot, and there was a some broken drywall in the bathroom window. The property is affordable, convenient, safe, and quiet and we will likely stay there again but wish the room was in better condition.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was okay just for a one night stay. Clean enough, but desperately needs to be updated. Paneling on doors is falling apart, ceiling above one of our beds was sagging, wondering how they keep each room warm in the winter as there were incredibly old and seemingly unsafe heaters installed into the walls. Staff was kind and helpful.

The staff at the property were professional and friendly. My issue is the cost of the room is not competitive at all with the level of service. No cleaning of rooms, we had to get towels and toiletries ourselves daily, pool closed due to staffing issues and no breakfast. All of this should be provided for the cost charged. This hotel is not remotely worth the money.
