Secluded cabin, it was cozy. We were there during fall so we used ac during the day but there was no heat source in the room for the chilly morning. The staff there are awesome and the cafe has great Asian food. It’s a little pricey but given the location it was probably fair. I look forward to my next stay!

Great stay overall! The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and everything was well-maintained. The only small downside was that the shower water could have been a bit hotter. Other than that, everything was perfect and I’d happily stay here again

Average roadside motel. It is sitting in front of a rail switching yard. Although we heard no train whistles, there was train traffic all night. We were awoken about four times during the night. I would however stay again. Please replace the pillows.

This is a family owned and operated little motel, a long time in business. For the value, I would recommend it. But I would also highly recommend you leave your porch light on all night. Someone tried to get into my room with their keys that obviously matched their door and not mine. Scared the hell outta me. I watched this dark-hooded figure try to key in and eventually come back with a flashlight, discover they were at the wrong door and then leave. Probably harmless, but I couldn't fall asleep after that. Otherwise, the hotel is right by the highway, Amtrak trains at night, and thin walls between rooms. Probably safe enough, just can be noisy.

We made a reservation to stay during a concert we had bought tickets for and the property called, told us they were overbooked for that weekend and canceled our stay. They did refund our money, but by that time there was literally nothing available for about a 100 mile radius of the venue. Why list on Expedia if you have no problem canceling people’s reservations?? Will never book with them again.

Like camping in a Switching yard

In the ads this came off as a self-contained resort area. It's not really anything of the sort. It's just a few cabins and a restaurant. When we got there the restaurant was closed claiming they don't open the restaurant on Mondays. This was of course never disclosed in the listing. We were directed to a place called the Izaak Walton LOGE Inn/bar and grill 6 miles down the road and immediately wished we had booked there instead. Better hotel for similar price. It also didn't help that halfway through the evening the air conditioner started shaking and rattling like crazy. When I went to inquire about it I was told that 'a part had been ordered and would be arriving in a few days to fix' when I explained that it didn't do me any good at that moment and let the sound of so loud it would be impossible to sleep.... it was actually louder than the constant freight trains passing by. when I asked about an alternate room, I was told that there was no other rooms available. However one look outside at the lack of other vehicles clearly confirmed that this was simply a lame false excuse.
