Small Town Comfort

We came for a local graduation party. I was so thankful EC Reeds accepted pets, as I had no one to watch my dog. The room was spotless! There was a disinfectant smell to prove it. That mellowed out over the two days. Luxurious towels and great shower! The bed was firm and wonderful! I have back issues so I was very thankful for a good mattress. Staff was very kind. I loved the shop and diner attached. Breakfast was real and well made. Free coffee in the lobby was a great perk! Overall a great stay. We can recommend EC Reeds and will be back.

The owners were delightful people. They had renovated and decorated the small hotel, store, and restaurant themselves. The food was delicious in the restaurant. The service was excellent. If only all hotels were this comfortable and welcoming! Highly recommend and will stay there again if we’re in the area.

Great night stay!

The EC Reed Hotel and Mercantile was an excellent place to stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding!!! The only thing I would recommend is blinds on the windows in addition to curtains and upgrade the doors to block the light.
