It is an older place but the rooms were super clean. The staff was very kind and check in check out was a breeze. Perfect over night stop for a road trip.

We liked the grounds and was close enough to walk through the Iron Bridge and learn about it's history. I would recommend this place for a one night stay. Close enough to drive to other restaurants and gas station. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.

It posted that there was a restaurant with the hotel. They did not post that it is not open every day. I chose that hotel because of the restaurant. I had to go to a gas station to get food. All restaurant were closed as of Oct 13!! The pillows smelled terrible. Glad i had my own. It was VERY cold and took a long time to warm up. Not a lot of hot water.

Like the reviews said, it is definitely a 'retro' hotel with a 60s charm. The room we had looked old and worn, but was surprisingly clean and comfortable. The price is a little high for what we got, I don't mind them using pump soaps/shampoo to cut down on waste, but they were clearly very cheap liquids. Towels could be upgraded and proper drinking glasses would be appreciated although we did get some from the restaurant. Definitely a recommended stop, but a little comfort upgrades would justify the $169 for a the double Queen room.

The couple is extremely kind, eager to please, and helpful. We stayed in the suite which while it looked its age, was clean and had the modern amenities. They were also more than helpful in changing our dates The restaurant only has the owners working in it and they also run the hotel. So service is slow for the restaurant which is only open in the morning and evening but you will never meet 2 harder working people.

There was a very distinct smell of musk and mold. It was a very old old smell because of its obvious age there was not very obvious dangers of slivers and scrapes from sticking out nails. Cutting my 5 year old’s finger pretty badly

Brilliant hidden gem!
You need to stay here. Period. Fine I'll go on. The rooms are definitely retro, think 60s & 70s. They're roomy, clean and charming. But for me the restaurant was the main attraction... a fairly extensive menu, but I went with onion pakoras, butter chicken and homemade naan— all possibly the best I've ever had. The restaurant was smart and clean, the owner/chef friendly and accommodating. Cannot recommend this spot enough!
