Reviews from travelers who stayed here in the last 12 months, grouped to help you spot the pattern quickly.
The employees are welcoming, and if you have any problem, they are willing and able to work around it with you if reasonable, like say, you have to leave earlier than when they start accepting key returns. The rooms are a little snug, but with enough room for two people to have comfortable space. They have all amenities one may want, and they aren't far from any shops or sites you may want to go to. The location is alright, but then again that depends on the room you stay in. Prices are fair, and basically half of the standard price for nearby hotels and motels. They also have a discount for veterans and those in the service.
Rooms were very clean. Beds are quite comfortable. Room lighting is inadequate, though that seems to be a general problem these days. I'm all for using less energy, but as I have discovered at home, lights can still be bright enough for reading, dressing, etc. Bathroom is great--well-lit, spacious and great towels! No coffee or tea making available. Note: if cute ruffles and pastels are not your thing, you may want to make another choice. The garden is lovely!
Needed a room because it was a blizzard out and the gentleman in the office was so nice & kind! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and just relax
This is one cute motel! 10 out of 10! Anyone in this area looking for an inexpensive place to stay this is the spot! The room was decorated very nicely. Not like a typical motel! Hope to stay again sometime! Thank you!
Booked a night when in need of accommodations for a family event. Truly the best hotel/motel experience we've had in many years. Clean and cozy.
Quiet, well kept, with clean rooms and quality accommodations. This motel has such an ambience of home, we love coming here whenever business brings us to the area.
Hard beds but excellent pricing. Got 2 mattress toppers & still saved $750 over other motels in the area for a 6 night stay.
Got here at about midnight after our train got delayed. The owners were kind and accommodating. I have a broken ankle and they made it possible to pay and fill thing out without leaving the room we were in. Everything was clean and the property is lovely. I would come back in a heartbeat.
Situated off I-69, this unpretentious budget lodging is 1.9 miles from Durand Union Amtrak Station and 6.1 miles from Chippewa Hills Golf Course.
