The bathroom was ok, after took a shower, the water was stuck in the tub, not going down, but slowly went all out, the rest was clean 👍

It was clean and close to town. The beds were not very comfortable. But for the price and one night it works.

The room was clean. Had everything they advertised. This is an older model, so keep that in mind. Room was on the back side, very quiet. Air conditioning just barely adequate for the room, although it was very hot, in the upper 90s. Bathroom very small, but it had a good shower. Overall, this place was OK. Price was very reasonable compared to the other places in the area.

I really liked the back yard landscaping ie; fire pit setup. 2 gazebos with 2 outdoor grills each very spacious . I noticed that the pool however was very small . I didnt like being charged double due to an event in the area, especially since the MAIN EVENT didnt even occur due to little wind. GREAT GALENA BALLOON FEST / RACE/ GLOW ?????

We love the '70s' drive up motels. So much easier to have vehicle outside door. Quiet...clean. can walk to Blaum distillery next door and back. Room has everything for comfortable overnite stay. Also a kitchen available and laundry if so desired to use. Couple snack machines and fresh coffee ready in am! Wish there were more places like this;)

Great location next to busy road but wasnt too loud. I got placed in room 25 which had two stink bugs crawling on the wall and I couldn't shower or brush my teeth due to sink AND shower water reeking of sulphur and rotton eggs. It made the whole bathroom stink. The lady at front desk was short and not helpful.

I would not stay here again. The price was good and affordable. Buy beds were old and very worn. There were stains on the tile in the bathroom and a broken towel rack. When I checked out to leave I waited more than 20 mins after ringing their bell. I will not recommend this place to anyone. Please save your money and don’t go here.

The location is great --right off the road, outside town, and walking distance to a distillery where we had lovely cocktails. The price was very fair. The room was clean. It is adequate for an older building, could use some new beds.

We chose the property because of the nice looking green area since we were bringing our dog. When we arrived, we were given a room that faced the parking lot and you had to walk all the way around to get to the green area. We asked to switch rooms but was told that since we booked online with Orbitz he wouldn’t help us. We checked out early and went elsewhere. Bed was horribly uncomfortable and no coffee anywhere-not even in the morning.

Carpet was dirty, black feet after taking shower. Bed served it's purpose. The 4 pillows was a great cushion for the headboard so she didn't get a concussion. The breakfast was amazing. I'd definitely stay here again
