Nice location around a lot of state parks it was a very peaceful quiet stay even though the mosquitoes outside were abominable so the only suggestion I would have would be a bug zapper.

Awesome!

The motel was very clean and well made, and the staff was awesome ! The food at the bar is amazing and well priced. Tge only real downside was either the walls are thin, or our neighbors were loud. Still, 9.5 out of 10

Pleasant overnight in Bruno

Room was very spacious, clean, & inviting. Check-in was easy at their bar/restaurant/convenience store next door. We enjoyed the Friday Night Fish Fry & a couple cold tap beers at the bar. There’s a nice beer garden area; looked like it would be a lot of fun on an evening when they have live music. Would gladly stay again, if in the area.

Little Gem in Bruno

We were in town for a wedding and found this little gem. We had a fantastic stay- the motel is very clean and comfortable, and the staff was so kind. It felt like a ritzy Schitt’s Creek experience.

Weekend Away

This motel far exceeded our expectations. The owner was helpful and very accommodating. The room was crisp and clean. The bed was comfortable. The only thing that was lacking was the hot water did not get hot enough for us. Breakfast at the bar was great, making this get away perfect.

The accomodations were excellent! But the walls were thin, and the visitor in the next room yelled and cried at times, and could easily be heard, which excited our dog and he barked in response, causing the visito to yell back at him. So I slept in my car with the dog for the first part of the night.

1st Stay

Was a good stay. Bought a fly swatter and left it there as there were a few flies.... it is fly season tho. Walls were thin... turned off tv and could hear neighbors talking. I wondered if our tv was loud for them then. Dish towels or wash cloths would be good for kitchenette... Coffee leaked and had to use a white bathroom wash cloth. Overall I enjoyed my stay there. I'd stay again for sure.

I really like to use some design with the plumbing pipes. The only thing is the bed do not need to be that close to the wall they needed to build a table on the second side of the bed or an outlet is.
