Though I was immediately offered a 10% discount on the $100/night rate (8-26-12) for riding a bike, my budget had not included a room for this night, anticipating staying with a friend. However, after going up the road and seeing what was available for $60/night, I turned around and went back! Nolan was pleasant and welcoming, though I had now... More

I did not feel as if the website was accurate in talking about the check list for the cleaning of the rooms . Upon arrival I always check to make sure the fridge and coffee maker are working . Our coffee maker still had coffee in the pot and the coffee filter in the basket from the previous guest .... More

There is no excuse for not using the cleaning checklist. First and foremost we are to sell CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. This experience should not have happened. We had to leave last year to take care of my ill mother in Maine. My son is managing the motel for us and has had a few little bumps along the way. We... More

My husband, two of my siblings, and I stayed in one of the suites. Only one room had air conditioning or cable, which was inconvenient to say the least. To share any cool air with the other room, you had to leave the connecting door open, which then removed any chance of privacy. Also, no fan in the bathroom made... More

We have reinforced the checklist; all rooms are double-checked. We very responsive to our guests and attend immediately to may make your stay comfortable. We have installed a louder buzzer in the house to capture our attention when office is "closed". Although attended 24 hours per day, we do "close" the office to go to bed. With the new system,...

We have installed a much louder buzzer in the house to capture our attention when office is "closed". Although attended 24 hours per day, we do "close" the office to go to bed. With the new system, and a little time, we will awaken to attend the need. We place our soaps in dispensers in two locations: one by the... More

4 of us reserved one of the two "suites" that the motel has. One room had 2 dbl. beds, air conditioner, flat-screen TV on the wall with cable, DVD, small refrigerator, coffee pot, clock radio/alarm, microwave and snacks to buy for $1.00 each. (leave the money in the room for the snacks) The other room had two twin beds, a... More

Stopped on route for one night. Clean and good service. You can also borrow DVDs from the office which was good for the children. It was quiet and had a pool and free wifi which is always good. All in all a good nights stay, beds are hard but that was good for my back! Shower was a bit changeable... More

We are addressing the water issue. It appears to be related to our hot water recirculating system that was incorrectly modified when we replaced the hot water heater. We also replaced mattresses in one room with a few more on the horizon. More

I should have known something was amiss when the owner's 10 year-old daughter took my reservation, and botched the details... The mattress was like a slab of concrete, but perhaps the biggest bummer was the shower. One of the highlights of my work day is a hot, robust shower - the one in my room was anything but. The water... More

Not sure what details were botched but our daughter does a great job with reservations. It is all part of our friendly family atmosphere. We teach excellence in hospitality to our kids and attention to detail. Mattresses are being replaced and the water problem is being addressed. There are two rooms that have had trouble with the wifi signal but... More
