Cleanliness is acceptable, except the carpet. They really need to clean it up soon. Everything is on a small scale to lower the operational cost. Yet, the service corresponds with the price. An overall three rating is the top mark for this facility.

Really Good Option
They’ve done a really nice job with this property. It has a few limitations inherent in what they started with. The walls are a bit thin and it’s in a very busy street. But it’s otherwise quite nice and we would stay there again.

no phone to call front desk could have used a blanket but had PJs on and didnt want to run down to front desk. If you lay your head on the pillow the sheet and blanket barely cover your arms you have to lie closer to the end of the bed to be able to cover yourself. Could have pulled sheets and blankets out but I tried and pretty hard and being chilly without a heavier blanket to stay warm. However very clean and nice place

Food was great, staff was friendly and accommodating! Our room was clean, condition was not as expected. The carpeting had wrinkle creases across room, furniture had several chips, shower seals were discolored/deteriorating. After showering noticed a big pool of water in corner outside of shower. The room door was tight...hard to open and close. Would of given an excellent rating if room was touched up, but cleanliness is most important which it was!!

Cutest Motel in the World!
This motel was so cute!! So clean and new. It was great to walk out our door and be steps away from a bonfire pit, outdoor tables, the little bistro where you could grab a happy hour drink. Happy Hour until 10Pm!! Wow! Would highly recommend!

Bathroom Needs Help
The room was nice enough but the bathroom had issues. The sink was so narrow that when you used it, water went on the floor. The shower head was stationary and designed for a bathtub shower. It was a shower stall, so the water hit the wall too high to rinse off properly. It needs to be replaced with a shower head on a ball swivel.

Super cute and cozy! Staff was very friendly, room was nice, there is a bistro/bar on site-- with seating inside and outside--and was lovely for a night cap and breakfast. Had a happy hour even! We were given two $10 vouchers to use for breakfast at the bistro--food was delicious! Fire pits on site, both propane and a wood one, with comfy seating. It's an easy 10 min walk to Rapids brewery, which was super fun--great beer, food, and spacious indoor and outdoor seating area. Had a great mini getaway at Hotel Rapids-- thank you!! Would definitely stay here again!
