The owner was very friendly. There have been some recent upgrades, such as the AC unit, which was very nice. For the price, I feel like its a fair room. It was not the cleanest room I've stayed, but not the dirtiest either. As other reviews have stated, there was a lot of moisture in the room, more than outside even. I assume that was the reason for the strong mildew smell. All together, it was okay.

Couldn’t believe it got a 10 on your reading. No coffee or machine. No ice machine. Room lights burned out. Ask for a light bulb twice but was never delivered. Was advised to go to their restaurant. A half mile away if we wanted coffee or ice. Wasn’t sure they would bring me or replace lights twice, but never happened. clean but still a work in progress. Over priced.

Creepy place

My husband made a 2-night reservation at The North Star Inn. First appearance gave me creepy vibes. The bedspread had lots of stains, but the sheets were clean. There was also a mouse hole in the baseboard. There was a strange bar above the bed. Weird. The manager was not on site; he was working at a restaurant down the road. He had a phone number to call. He gave us the lock box number. He said he would give us a 15% discount since there was no breakfast offered at the site. Since it was late, I told my husband we'd stay for one night, which we did. The road noise was really bad, too.

Clean

If clean, and not fancy, is what you're looking for, you will be fine here. Older property could use some renovation, but room was clean and had everything we needed for late arrival and early departure.

The motel room was clean and had a well kept bathroom and kitchenette, as well as small working freezer and fridge. Also dog friendly was a big plus. Only complaints would be we forgot shampoo and their were no small courtesy shampoo or soap that are usually in motels, and there were no usb plugs, but other than that was a good value.

Our trip to Kentucky

Do not judge the motel by its cover. The room was delightful. Be sure to go to the truckstop across the bridge to check-in with Sam. We were confused at first. The owners are friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

A trip to days gone by.

It is under new management and they are working hard to improve the condition. It is an old two story motel and the price we paid reflected the condition. Overall its a 5 out if 10 but we were satisfied given rhe price. Truckstop,owned by them as well nearby gave a discount and should not be missed. It was a blast from the past as was the motel.

Great Stay

Got to the property at 6pm. Office was locked with a sign to call a local number. Instructions were left via text how to enter our room. Very nicely renod. Comfortable and simple, everything worked as it should. At 11:45 pm, someone was beating on different doors of the motel. 101-104. Possibly looking for a rental office. Will definetly return. Very nice owners.
