10/10 Excellent
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay here and would definitely return! First of all, I absolutely loved the welcome basket—it was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch! My room was nice, clean, and tidy throughout my two-night stay. The bedding was fresh and clean, and so were the towels. I especially loved the cute little kitchenette. It had a bigger-than-average mini fridge, a microwave, and a full-size coffee maker, complete with everything you need to make your morning coffee. My only couple of minor complaints were that I wanted to take a bath, but there wasn’t a drain plug, and the neighbors were a little loud. However, the noise really isn’t something I would blame on the motel owner. Overall, I had a very good experience and felt comfortable during my stay. I would definitely come back and would absolutely recommend this place to others!"

"Our multi-generational family visit to this property was absolutely wonderful. Everything from the location to home decor and contents was fantastic. Somethings to take note of though is the sauna is wood fired. We may have used it had it been electric. We were so busy we didn't miss it. In our particular family dynamic a bedroom on the lower level with a king size bed would have been welcome. It's a great property for families. We definitely would stay again."
