like stepping back in time, very quaint, quiet, well maintained , comfy bed , soft towels …older motel but nicely cared for, only issue was shower head is very low, i’m only 5’7” and i had to duck down to wash my hair or face, not a lot of water pressure but very hot water. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful, excellent german food resturant next door .

“Very old, probably family-run motel. The room was clean and cold, but the mattress was uncomfortable and in need of replacement. Overall, the property felt run-down and overdue for updates.”

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!

Staff was very friendly and explained that they are short staffed and informed us of the situation. This allowed our expectations to be realistic and everything was great. We just had to go pick up freash towels in the office. This is an old school motel so..knowkknow that.

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.
