Quaint

Booked for weekend trip. Cute remodeled motel. Check-in was easy, but they do not take American Express. Had to separate reservations that they were able to combine. Room was good, however, reservation said queen size beds and they were full. Talked with front desk and was told this is the size of beds in all rooms, except the one that has a king. Bathroom was small, but worked. Carpeting in our room needed to be pulled. The Bistro/Bar is cute and service was great, just wished they were open a little earlier for breakfast. Sauna was a touch. Overall cute idea

Nice try but….

Nice renovation but a lot of lip stick. Loud environment. Music could be heard through the floor in the morning. Heavy traffic outside made for a long night. They offered ear plugs but they don’t work for me. Late November and my window was unlocked also adding to outside noise. Didn’t care for the breakfast menu so went elsewhere.

I booked with AMEX. I got to property and they didnt accept it. The walls are paper thin. At check in they handed me an ipad to fill out my info. Never asked to see card or ID. as im filling out my info other peoples info was popping up. Very unsafe. I have never in probably a thousand stays encountered not showing ID or presenting the credit card. Staff was friendly. But the security of someone elses personal info is not good
