Clean, well maintained 1950’s vibe hotel with warm, knotty pine interior and tile bathroom. Quiet, off the highway, but with easy accessibility. Safe area of town. We felt safe and slept comfortably. Breakfast was continental and basic, but okay.Close to great and reasonably priced wood fired pizza.

Old school motor lodge. Clean room. Great location. Not many plugs to charge devices and window unit heater was a bit smelly from lack of use. Nice, affordable place to stay the night

For as old as this hotel is, the rooms are quite clean and in good condition. It’s an old school motel but we’ve had a great experience both times we’ve stayed here. Friendly staff and a quiet night of rest.

The owner and staff at this hotel were incredibly kind to me and my sister, even going so far as to offer to repair my car (we were stuck in Blanding with car trouble). The room was basic, but cozy, clean and warm. The walls and ceilings are wood, so it had a rustic log cabin feel. There was plenty of hot water. For the price it was great. It even came with free breakfast which consisted of bagels and cream cheese, coffee, tea, juice, and yogurt. There is also a coffee maker with coffee packets in the room. I enjoyed my stay, I would definitely return again.

The owner is very nice. He stayed open late to check us in and gave us recommendations for food and driving suggestions. The motel is a little old, but very clean and quiet. We absolutely enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
