Check in was easy and convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the noise. I could hear EVERYTHING. The people in the room next to me had a dog that barked all night, I could hear them talking and opening bags through the shared door. It sounded as if they were in the same room as me. Seriously could hear every word they said and it made me feel really uncomfortable, like I had no privacy. I could hear the people above me, walking and using the sink and toilet. And I could hear the people on the other side of me going in and out of their room so loudly, as if I had the door/window open. There were earplugs provided in the room (so clearly this is a known issue) but I wish I would have known about it before booking because there’s no way I would have stayed here being a light sleeper. Nice place if you don’t really care about privacy and can sleep through dogs barking, people talking and doors slamming.

Our room had a mountain view, which was lovely. We arrived a little later than we thought we would, however, I was emailed instructions on where to locate our room key and number. Quite efficient. Loved this quaint little motel. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Windows were very dusty and dirty . Filled with bugs , eww . It’s also not dog friendly , which I was very disappointed. Owner allowed my dog to stay which was nice of her. Overall wasn’t a bad stay just small things I didn’t like. Also no kitchen and the rooms are very tiny

The room was very spacious, clean, and quaint. The owners provided lots of little extras, including ear plugs. I assumed the ear plugs were there because of the closeness to the highway, but the noises coming from other rooms were more problematic than the highway. The walls are very thin. It was still worth the price I paid.

Awesome little spot. Only wish the Tavern next door wasn't closed up. Other than that, great place.
