My stay here was very pleasant. Booking was a breeze and I did like the fact they were easy to communicate with and checking in was so easy. Love the simplicity. Whenever I have to travel back to that town I will surely stay here again. In fact I will be next week.

Jack and Jane Fitzpatrick would be very upset if they had to stay in room 8. The rug over the carpet was bunched ib the middle which was very dangerous. Shower faucet caused us to get very wet when we had to turn it on. The floor also got wet because of a half glass permanent shower door. No coffee pot in room or on premises. Tiny television.

Perfect for a quick 2 night stay. Didn’t explore the property at all, but the beds were comfy enough and the room was quiet. Water in bathroom sink got dangerously hot. Didn’t use shower. No contact check in & check out was great.

No frills clean and cute spot

I was staying overnight in the area, decided to check out this sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually like motel style places, but it was a very clean, cute location. Definitely will consider again.

The room was furnished with tag sale furnishings and a “clothes hanging structure “ bolted to the wall with a lamp in the way. Being quite isolated the lack of a coffee machine was mystifying. The cost was commensurate with the quality of the room.
