All the ladies were very nice. Room was cleaned each morning. Nice small breakfast options. The gentleman at the front desk didnt impress me. Asked him if he could have one of the ladies clean our room and he said i needed to go find one of them. Had to go looking and couldn't find her. Went back to lobby and ended up asking another nice lady if she could tell the cleaning lady. She was very willing to let them know. He couldve done it. Other than him not impressing me, it was nice. Price was reasonable.

I have stayed here before and will again. Love the small town atmosphere here. Disappointed that they didn't have the breakfast as shown. I realize it was on a Tuesday morning and not a weekend but I was looking forward to biscuits & gravy.

and enjoyed it, the only problem this time was difficulty getting back in our room after hours after a concert and were unable to reach anyone to help from the motel phone numbers provided. After about 45 minutes we finally were able to get the door open and get in our room. Morning staff member kindly helped us get our car started after a dead battery.

We stayed here while in town for business many times. Small quaint rooms, able to have our dog with us. Only wish would be that they would have king beds in the single bed units. Will definitely stay here again.

First time staying here. It was much older, but clean. Priced cheaper than the big boys. It is sufficient. If all you're doing is sleeping. We would stay here again.

For the price it was fine! Rooms were clean and well kept. Offered after hours check-in. For just a place to sleep it was totally fine. Definitely better than a lot of Motels these days!

Accommodations were clean and nicely handicap accessible. Just a quick stay so no reviews of breakfast or other facilities. Good for rest but no frills and definitely no view to speak of this early in the year.

Very disappointing if you are expecting an Amish experience or comfort. Price is definitely too much! The furniture is the only thing Amish in the room.

This is not a fancy luxury property. It is basic, but it has everything needed. It is convenient. It is quiet. It is reasonably priced. It has a comfortable bed. It has a divided bath. It is clean. The continental breakfast is nothing to brag about, but for the money you save on lodging, you can enjoy the fanciest, most expensive breakfast elsewhere!
