Very Good

Cabin itself was fine. Dirty old dishes, coffee grounds from the last occupant still in coffee pot, WiFi never worked despite “it will be on in an hour” from staff. Shampoo and soap dispenser in shower both broken. Front desk staff said will bring soap to me… didn’t happen. Room didn’t have microwave, they brought me one. Didn’t work. Generous with two stars.
This motel would have been a great place back in the 1960s. Come 2025 a lot of upkeep and updating is needed. Our flooring felt like it was going to fall in, bathrooms needed to be updated. The room had an odor that you could not do away with. No air conditioning although we did have a big fan.. I have a hard time with the 8.4 rating on this property. If it had been refundable we would’ve declined.
Liked the clean room and the balcony. Loved the 3 lock system on the doors.
Dislikes: the bed linens were not clean and the comforter was filthy. No AC, the dispensers in the shower did not work. Run down for the price. The part that takes the cake (from a professional electrician), is the power sketchy. Every time you try and use the microwave, the power dips really bad- a potential fire hazard!
It was a really quiet place over all, lots of shade and didn't have to deal with barking dogs and loud neighbors.
The bed and room were clean and comfortable. I enjoyed sitting on the front deck and by the river. I was alone and felt perfectly safe. Nice food and coffee options were 5 minutes down the road.
We got key to our room. When we entered, room had not been cleaned! It was filthy. They did give us another room. That room looked like they hadn’t kept up with condition of rooms. Grout missing from tiles in bathroom. No stopper for bath tub to take a bath, floors needed a good scrubbing! How can you give a room to someone not knowing that it hadn’t been cleaned if you were the person in charge. I will definitely not stay there again.
