Rooms were well apointed, beds firm and comfortable. Great example of the motels of old. Bar on site was a plus. Well worth the visit at a great price.

Nice stay, fit the need.

Honey Bee Motel was an amazing option for my husband and brother-in-law to book for visit to their mom who is ill. The only complaint either had was beds were not super comfortable but other than that everything else was perfect. Would still highly recommend and plan to book again.

Hosts pay attention to details

boutique property means limited lobby hours and we arrived shortly after the host had left for the day but they had prepared an easy check-in and after a couple quick texts we were in! Well-managed.

I’ve never been so impressed by a “motel” as I was with The Honey Bee Motel. I wish other places could see the little touches as well as the big efforts they do and did to make the stay at this place so enjoyable. Thanks!

Frustrated

Didn't get to stay!!! The office closed at 600 PM, no one answered our calls. We were late getting in and were forced to stay at another hotel which paying for stays at two motels for one night cost us over $200.00. Very unpleasant experience

Comfortable but noisy

I had a comfortable stay. The room was next to the lobby and it was very noisy. The walls seemed paper thin. The bar attached has an awesome burger!
