I loved the setup of this room. I would have preferred a king but they were all booked… the only complaints I have are the train right next to the property and the front doors were really hard to open and close. Other than that it was clean quiet (besides the train) and it was a much homier feel ran than hotel feel. I’d definitely stay here again and we had a good trip!

The way they've redone these is pretty cute. They look nice, and felt cleaner than I was expecting. The parking lot was a bit icy in spots, but tis the season I guess. I do wish that instead of a little end table under the TV, they had a little table I could sit at to eat. Check out instructions would have been helpful, I called as I tried to leave and couldn't get ahold of anyone from either phone number to ensure I was doing what needed to be done. My only major complaint is that as they clean these rooms, maybe they should check the TV for things saved to the saved watch list by previous guests. I turned on the TV the see pornos saved to the watch list, which I found disgusting. Not only because I'm not into that, but also because I immediately felt that there was no way the bed was clean enough. Overall, I would stay here again, but bring a blanket and a can of Lysol.

The rooms are super cute and you can park right by the door to your room. It’s a super small town with no amenities so make sure you have everything you need. The kitchenette was stocked and nice to have, it was tucked in the corner with plenty of space in the rest of the room.

Cute and cozy inside.
The outside is deceiving. The inside is cute, remodeled and cozy. Our deadbolt wouldn’t lock (room 7) and we didn’t like that but it was a good place to stay passing through. There is no front desk but you just call the number from online and they tell you what to do.

For the most part this place was great! Although the bad parts really stuck out and made it not great. The floors were disgusting turning our feet and socks black in a matter of minutes. The beds weren’t too bad for motel beds. They were on wheels which made them roll around but that wasn’t a problem just odd. The shower head had originally been pointed at the wall and ended up flooding the bathroom. We were able to easily fix it but it was annoying to have to deal with in the first place. The tub also drained extremely slowly. By the end of my 10ish minute shower, the water was above my ankles. Overall I’m happy with this place I would’ve just liked a little bit more attention to cleanliness when it comes to after guests leave.
