Excellent location, clean and comfortable property, helpful and knowledgeable Staff, quiet location considering Highway 70 was very close by. Simple, newer decor, which was OK with me, not a "luxury" property, but very comfortable! I would stay here again.

The motel is right off the highway so is easy to get to, but some road noise, and especially train horns from the nearby crossing, were increbibly loud. The room was clean and everything was in good shape. Very basic breakfast options, but the coffee was fresh and good.

The room was clean and quiet. It had been renovated recently and they did a nice job of it. Breakfast was fine, though the breakfast area was a bit cramped. Though the motel sits close to a highway, we couldn't hear any road noise and slept very well. I took a walk in the neighborhood in the early evening and that was good too. The staff gave us a good recommendation on where to eat dinner too. We would stay there again.

Relatively clean. Convenient parking and remote no contact check-in. Breakfast was simple grab-and-go items, which suited us just fine. We got in late and left early so can't accurately judge much.

Clean, decent breakfast selection. Check in very easy as handled by text. Some train noise, however the AC fan blunted this well; we couldn’t get the overhead fan to stay on without the rearward room light also left on (single wall switch for both). Overall restful night.

The room was very clean, the beds and pillows were great and the breakfast area had a great selection and was very clean. Heads up though—the train is VERY close and VERY loud!! If that won’t bother you then it’s a great place to stay. But you will hear it at night.

A very pleasant surprise is my reaction to the Balanced Rock Inn. Property is clean and the staff is very kind. The Inn has a hostel feel to it, which I liked. The rooms are clean and accomodating with a very nice updated bathroom and amenities. The only slight issue is the bedding that is all polyester. I broght my sleeping bag and my own pillows as a regular precaution when I travel and those came in handy. Cotton sheets would be a plus but understand the reasoning behind polyester for durability. I would gladly recomend this place to stay!

Room was in good condition and check in at night was excellent. We didn’t check in at the front desk we were given text message on how to check in. The text message has the name of the motel, room number, door code and the WiFi password. The only complaint I had was the smell of cigarettes it was hard to get a full nights sleep.

Clean room, staff on her job when it came to the code for the room and communication is spot on. Did I say clean room which if no one else appreciates I do. No smell whatsoever. Organization of room. This is going to be my new spot when I come back into and I come at least once a month for business. I am pleasantly excited about my stay. No worries or concerns that wasn't taken care of. Now this is how a Inn should be.

Nice to have a updated room. Very clean. AC worked great. Water very hot. Beds are OK, some will like them some won't. Lots of room. Ceiling fan is nice to have. Staff was friendly. A bit noisy. The train tracks are close so you get the occasional horn blast as they go thru intersection. Some road noise from US6, none from I25. Breakfast was very basic continental style but nice variety. Various bars, oatmeal, coffee, teas, basic pastries, breads, yogurts, milk. Only breakfast con was apples were the only fruit. But grocery store is a block away, so it's easy to get some if you want it.
