Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff so helpful and friendly. Remote check in was easy. The rooms were very spacious and clean. It had a nice mini kitchen. It feels very much like a cabin experience and is geared towards fishermen. The patio was also nice to sit outside. From the outside, the hotel building is fine but when you pull into the parking lot, there is a burnt down building which is an eyesore. The hotel is also the only business within at least 5 or 6 miles so have to travel into Ennis for food, gas, shopping, etc. I would stay again.

This was a very cute property, Check in was easy. Disappointed that the Steak House Restaurant not being there. It burnt down a year ago and they have not updated there site. So, you had to drive back to town for meals.

This is a wonderful place to stay in the Ennis area. The rooms are very clean and spacious. Amenities are plentiful. Back porch is a nice touch. The only negative was the air freshener smell. The terrible fire that destroyed the restaurant last year is most likely the reason for this. Hopefully it won’t last…

Great old motel. Felt like a woodsy cabin. Well maintained and nicely stocked. Remote check in very responsive to inquiries and request for more towels. Comfortable temperature controls. Would have liked a complimentary breakfast. Wish there was a full length mirror.
