This place had a very rustic and "north woods" feel. Everything in the room was clean and well maintained, but most things were older. (I felt this was a plus- It felt very nostalgic rather than generic). Will stay again!

The rooms are very clean with new carpet and comfortable bed. It was quiet given the location near a highway. There is always some at the property that actually cares if you have a request, need or issue. I will absolutely stay at this locally managed property again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location was good. Turned on tv, it was on porn channels which was more shocking than anything else. I was traveling with an 8 year old grandchild so I was very glad I turned it to some cartoons. I have stayed in many different hotels/motels and this was a first. Cleaning crew left hair in the sink. Will not stay here again.
