This motel is in an excellent location to view the ships passing through Lock 7. The room is very clean and a good size. The hotel is very dated, bedding, curtains, abd furniture BUT dont let that deter you from staying here. This was our second visit and we will continue to visit yearly. Staff were kind, friendly and helpful.

Excellent value, with unique views. Light sleepers may be bothered by the diesel hum of passing ships. Quaint, but very well kept. Beds are a little springy.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay! The view of the locks was incredible, and watching ships pass through was such a unique experience - could view right from your own balcony. The inn is older but clean, comfortable, and fairly priced. Friendly staff made check-in easy and welcoming.
