Stay away.

We called on our way to the hotel. Was informed we needed to be there before 7pm or we wouldn’t be able to check in instead of the 1030 check in on the booking info. We barely made it. The room looked stayed in and no toilet paper or toiletries. We had to go back out and find the usual hotel provided items in an small town that shuts down early. Just an awful experience. Tried taking it up with the clerk or manager the next morning. A service lady said no one was around to talk to and have an excuse for the owner / manager. Stay away. Go to the cabins or another establishment.

This place was great, if you ever need to stay in this little town, this is the only place I would stay. I've been at every hotel in this town and this one is the only one worth staying at. The staff are so kind!

Great place to stay

Clean and well kept. Easy to communicate with owner to get everything we needed for the room. She is taking covid seriously so you might have to ask for some things for your room, but she's great about responding and getting everything you need. It felt like a very quiet and safe location.

OK. Pros: rooms are a little larger than some I've stayed in, clean, good location. Cons: no provided hand or shower soap, no TV remote, had to plug in the small refrigerator, lack of electrical plugs, no AC and no way to get cooler outside air into room without leaving the entrance door open, had a window but no airflow.
