Staff is friendly and efficient. Very clean room, newly renovated, but they really need to get better mattresses. The whole reason guests book rooms is to sleep, so having comfortable mattresses should be first and foremost when redecorating. One week of sleeping on that mattresses did a number on my back.
The motel is centrally located and perfect for visiting my family who live nearby.
Rita and her team were kind and supportive to me. I travel with my service dog. The room was clean and very comfortable.

Yes the room was clean and the staff was nice. The two things that I would comment on is the flush was broken and it was very very hot and no way to turn it down or control it in anyway.
Staff were very nice. 3 really good restaurants within walking distance. Our room was clean and comfortable.

This was a nice older motel that is being fixed up. Our room was clean with comfortable beds. There was some nice new furniture but some unfinished area so maybe still being renovated. Overall a good one night stop. A great place for breakfast not to far by car is Gather. Great coffee and breakfast.
It was beautifully maintained? My room was in the design of an old Maine Camp, it was really well done. The beds were comfortable and there was a microwave, refrigerator and even a little breakfast nook. A great place to stay
They accommodated my late arrival. Flight was delayed and wouldn’t have made it in time for check in. Room was spacious and clean. Really quiet as well. When we come back we will stay here again.
We had a non-smoking room, however the room smelled like stale smoke. I think someone did smoke in there at one point. The room was clean and the beds were average.

I didn’t get to stay there (yet) because I was held up in my light aircraft by weather and couldn’t get into Lincoln.
Under the contract I forfeited my lodging fee, but they called me and offered to switch it to next time I came into town at no charge. It was an amazing act of generosity and hospitality. I am a fan for life.
