The room was just OK. Not enough to warrant the price tag. The room is a $60 room and they charged $120. While checking in the gentleman acted like he couldnt be bothered to answer any questions. Not very social or helpful. While checking out the young lady was nicer.

It was wonderful to be in a clean, retro space with comfy bed, tv and microwave and refrigerator. The price was great!!! Workers were polite. A choice of fruit at breakfast would have been nice. No butter for waffles?

Great town nice motel.

Great location very clean room. Great hot water and great breakfast. Not extremely soundproof and we could hear the TV in the next room throughout the entire night. Although very comfortable we were not able to sleep well due to the television next door. Very nice amenities in town but all are closed on Sunday so the recommendation is to get the early Saturday to enjoy the museums and shops .

Clean. Modest. Chose this property expecting an Amish owned and run hotel but it wasn’t. Also chose this hotel because it was pet friendly. But on arrival port allowed but $25 fee. $25 no unreasonable but didn’t like not knowing beforehand about it.

Our 5-day stay was great! The small breakfast place was a great meeting place in the morning where we met many wonderful people. We have a service dog and he was received wonderfully. It was just very small. We met some family there and the visiting area was limited but it worked. I would stay here again. It was good.
