Came for our grandson's baseball tournament down the road, and didn't want to stay at the large hotel/water park down the road. This re-done motel exceeded our expectations! Nice size rooms, all expected amenities, beds, pillows and linens like heaven! Only thing I can think to recommend is to include at least one luggage rack. There are no dressers or closets in the room, so opening and closing suitcases on the bed every time something was needed got a little tedious.

There is no one on site but when we had a problem with a room it was resolved within minutes. Rooms are clean and simple and very affordable. Newly rennovated and they accept pets. We had a good stay with our pet, and then two days later stayed again on our way home. Try them!

Newly renovated local motel. It is clean and comfortable. Though the staff is not on site, they respond immediately and even check in on their own. We needed a change of room and they facilitated it within minutes with a completely positive response. We stayed here on our way to NYC and then back again to MI. We'll stay here next time too! Totally worth the $$.

Stayed the weekend with my son while attending a soccer tournament. The rooms are adorable, clean and the beds super comfortable. My only recommendation would be to add some additional pegs to hang things. As a lite sleeper the train did bother me, but I was able to fall back to sleep quickly. I would definitely stay again as it was super convenient, less expensive than other hotels in the area and a fun environment. Plus, hotel staff/manager went above and beyond for us and our friends.

It had been recently updated/remodeled. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I also liked the pillows. The walls were very thin and I could hear people coughing, flushing toilets and talking in the room next door. Also, as indicated, no people are there in the office to request extra towels etc. You are on your own!

Unique property..small rooms and bathrooms but worked for 1 night family of 5. Train is close enough you hear it once every hour or so. Beds and bedding comfortable and the space is clean. No table or chairs to lounge in just the beds. It was a nice experience for what we needed 1 night.
