This hotel was good choice given the options in the area and was very pet friendly. The room was clean enough, but overall the property is in need of repair. We had a good dinner in the restaurant and was very happy to have it there since we were out of town a bit. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Property and room was clean, however the shower was either freezing cold or scalding hot with no in between. The check-in/main area was also locked and closed unless the restaurant was open. Some thicker blankets/comforters on the beds would also be nice, especially in the colder off-season.

The outdoor space was lovely. The building is older with a musty mildew scent(likely old carpet and shower curtain). Bathroom had a new surround tub. It was sufficient for a one night stay.

The staff at the motel were polite, courteous and very accommodating, delivering a delicious hot, home cooked meal to the outside picnic/patio area and alerting me that my car was still running. They were patient with my dog as well. The room, though quaint, was easily accessible and very clean with a wonderful soaker tub which I took full advantage of after a long few days of driving. I highly recommend Best Northern Motel and Restaurant 👍
