Updated room: large updated bathroom.snd shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Economical price. Near points of interest. Staff brought hairdryer as there was not one in the room. It worked well. Good towels. Microwave and refrigerator was a plus. The desk was also a plus. Comfortable bed. Warm heater that kept the room comfortable. Friendly personnel. Cons and/or needed areas of improvement: Nowhere to place clothes. No hooks, closet space, or drawers. No half or full mirrors. Nowhere to place makeup or shaving utensils in the bathroom as there was only a larger sink and no hooks/counter space. Shower pressure was very low and water would not get hot. It got slightly warm after running it for 10+ minutes.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived at the property, and it was okay until we entered the room and saw that the white bed was yellow and the sheets were torn. We were then told that they were the “construction worker” sheets and were on there by mistake. The lady was nice but came back with what looked like sheets from another bed. We left after being there for at most five minutes. Do not go to this spot if you’re looking for a place to rest in a clean bed. Reached out by email to request a refund and no response. Do not go here!

Cool vintage motor lodge. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable enough for one night, but probably wouldn’t stay longer. Room was clean except for the floor… good Wi-Fi and very thankful that they had a generator since the power went out all night!

Twain Harte visit.

Motel is typical of homes in the area. Old,rickety but quaint. Owner is very friendly. Room has all amenities such as microwave, Krueger coffee maker and frig as well as TV. Bathroom has very dirty rug and cabinet drawers dirty. But rest of room is clean and was sufficient for my 1 nite stay. Price was good. Overall i would stay again.

You get what you paid

You get what you paid… maybe a little less. The room is ok and there is microwave, coffee machine and mini fridge,. The heater was working fine and the receptionist is helpful and very polite. However we got a non smoker room that was smelling like a cigarette. The towels also had a very strong smell of cigarette and bathroom floor was dirty. Didn’t expect this kind of basic issues in a motel and the experience was upsetting

The lady at the front desk was accommodating. Maybe we just didnt know what to expect from a motel. If you like hair free, stainfree sheets and towels, bring your own. Smells like cigarette smoked covered of with strong perfume smells. Window on our ground floor bathroom didnt close. The lady was accommodating enough to give us another room and brought "new/clean" sheets and blanket. The heat worked great. Didnt use the shower. The wheelchair room doesnt have a closet or space to hang/put things besides a desk. Maybe motels are just not for us. Thanks anyway

Horrible stay - never stay here again

We stayed one night. We didn’t this would be a 5 star hotel based on the price we paid but the experience was terrible. The hotel is very run down and dirty. The bathroom had mold in the shower, dirty air vent in the ceiling and no hot water. The area also was sketchy with cars zooming. Pool and hot tube were also dirty. We will never stay here again.

Room was dirty, my comforter had stains and the room looked like it’s been neglected for too long. The bathroom was remodeled, however the shower curtain probably could have used replacing a few years ago. If I hadn’t gotten in so late, I might not have stayed there because of how gross it was.

The room had black flecks on the sheets, and a huge yellow spot. Checked under the mattress and found a round fire alarm from the wall and a blue plastic cover of some sort. There was mold in the bathroom. Felt totally unsafe. I left after seeing this and was told no refunds. Never will I stay or recommend this place to anyone.

The most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at or heard of . Needs to be condemned. It was absolutely filthy. They had to be made right in front of us because there was dirt in the other bed tried to give us another room and there was dirt there. Everything is broken falling apart, antiquated I can’t say enough bad things about this place I’m absolutely blown away. It exists.
