Property was quiet/clean. Staff went above and beyond even offered me dinner from her own kitchen ( which I accepted and it was delish) as there was no restaurant on site. Grounds were very nice,

Amazing views. Customer service was excellent. It is an older motel and is reflected in the price. Impeccably clean. Could use with a coffee maker and tv instructions but overall great value for the money.

Close to town.

Check-in was good. Owner greeted me at the door and came by our unit later to make sure all was well. They didn't have ice so we went into town and as we were going to town anyway, got ice. Close to town - Mattawa. Pleasant view overlooking Earl Lake. Comfortable beds.

Average motel

A little bit dingy but the room itself was clean and comfortable. The window around the ac unit was not sealed so there was always air coming in but there didn’t seem to be any bugs taking advantage of that. I asked if the water was safe to drink because it had a somewhat strong sulfur smell and they said it was, but it still made me nervous so I stuck to bottled water. Everyone was super nice and the property was quite pretty!
