A great stay! The room was clean, and exactly what was needed for an overnight stay. Parking as convenient area is quiet and there are nearby restaurants and dinning option. Very old fashion and simple, no TV. Great stay would book again!!

My favorite place to stay in the Whites.

My favorite place to stay in the area. Rooms are very clean and in great condition; clearly well maintained. While they don’t have TV and coffee makers in the room (doesn’t bother me) the beds are super comfortable and rooms very spacious.

Helpful and friendly check-in . It was safe,clean, warm,and quiet. We were going to Ice Castle and close by. Hard to review one night in Feb. The new Roku TV’s came in the day we arrived. It’s better than other 60’s motels we’ve stayed at. We don’t spend much time in a room and enjoy the beauty of the area.
