Michele • Trip with Friends

This is a pretty old motel. That being said, it was in decent shape. The room was clean and had what we needed. The bed was comfortable, the bedding and towels were clean and nice quality. We didn’t use the shower because we got up and headed home early. The water in the bathroom sink was barely a trickle even when both hot and cold water were tuned on all the way. There was a window air conditioner unit and also a space heater on the floor.

This was the cutest little place to stay. The people are friendly, room was clean, and it was safe. I would stay here again.

Room was clean. I know its an older motel, but the room we were in was satisfactory. No problems. Only thing we missed was an in room coffee maker.

So convenient for us since we were paddling the Current River. Loved the old-time charm but with update amenities. Safe and walkable area.

This motel is vintage and its so clean and updated and comfortable beds. The pool was nice it didn’t close as long as you did disturb guest. I have stayed several times in the past. Annual birthday's current river float trip.

First and foremost, this is an old, restored motor hotel. The owners have done a great job, but this is not a Hilton. (BTW, owners/managers were very nice). Rooms are very small. My room had two double beds, one chair and no table. Bathroom was tiny, but efficient. Good shower. Comfortable bed. They had a very nice outdoor pool which was being utilized when I arrived. The only complaints I have were the curtain in the room and the noise. The curtain was not good in filtering out light (and I'm not sure if people could see in the room or not). Being an old hotel, outside noise does filter in. I slept soundly, so it did not bother me. Apparently this is a destination spot (river access nearby). All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and I would book again if back in the area.

The hotel was a cozy little 24 room hotel. The rooms were super clean and temperature was great. The bed could have used a little help but I've stayed in nicer hotels with horrible beds. There was a cute little coffee shop on the property with the best coffee I've had. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Very friendly, helpful owners who like their guests! Comfortable bed, great heating, good TV-streaming selection, defrosted mini-fridge (!), clean microwave, surprisingly well-supplied/equipped for an older property. Pristine swimming pool with deck chairs, safe parking, quiet, convenient right off the highway, close to Current River activities. Convenient espresso coffee shop onsite.

This motel was great. This is our second time to stay there and we have enjoyed both time. It is our halfway point to visiting our daughter and her family. It is walking distance to the Current River.

Sweet nostalgic property right out of the 60’s, nicely renovated rooms. Pool and coffee shop were a plus!
