Place was beautiful inside but not much to look at outside. I would use again.I love the dishes and the whole kitchen unit. Beds were very comfortable.

The hotel was clean but the noise from the train was slightly annoying.

Very clean - extremly small - could have used a second chair to avoid all but one from having to stand - very handy for a tiny community like Bancroft - no local dining facility - had to travel to next community to eat or buy groceries

The train across the street honks its horn three times as it passes the building. It was a little hard to sleep

I loved the setup of this room. I would have preferred a king but they were all booked… the only complaints I have are the train right next to the property and the front doors were really hard to open and close. Other than that it was clean quiet (besides the train) and it was a much homier feel ran than hotel feel. I’d definitely stay here again and we had a good trip!

The way they've redone these is pretty cute. They look nice, and felt cleaner than I was expecting. The parking lot was a bit icy in spots, but tis the season I guess. I do wish that instead of a little end table under the TV, they had a little table I could sit at to eat. Check out instructions would have been helpful, I called as I tried to leave and couldn't get ahold of anyone from either phone number to ensure I was doing what needed to be done. My only major complaint is that as they clean these rooms, maybe they should check the TV for things saved to the saved watch list by previous guests. I turned on the TV the see pornos saved to the watch list, which I found disgusting. Not only because I'm not into that, but also because I immediately felt that there was no way the bed was clean enough. Overall, I would stay here again, but bring a blanket and a can of Lysol.

The outside is not exactly impressive & you are right by train tracks, but the inside was very nice & the beds were comfortable.

Would definitely stay here again
The rooms are super cute and you can park right by the door to your room. It’s a super small town with no amenities so make sure you have everything you need. The kitchenette was stocked and nice to have, it was tucked in the corner with plenty of space in the rest of the room.

Cute and cozy inside.
The outside is deceiving. The inside is cute, remodeled and cozy. Our deadbolt wouldn’t lock (room 7) and we didn’t like that but it was a good place to stay passing through. There is no front desk but you just call the number from online and they tell you what to do.
