I stay here when I visit the family. It has a homey feel. The family that runs the place are nice and always polite. Rooms are dated but capture home town vibe and are always clean. This is my go to place highly recommend and prefer.
I decided I needed another night cause of renovating a rental and called to schedule another night but they said to come in with the credit card to pay as the 1st night was booked online. Told them I was across the street in my rental property working hard and they were kind enough to suggest to take my time and stop in whenever I could and that was very thoughtful of them!The room is have was the gaming room, which is a smoking room, it's nice a clean and adorably decorated but the air conditioner is making some noise and the TV is more of a computer monitor (real small)but it's a very nice quiet place with a nice calming view. It's exactly what a small family run motel in a small beautiful town should be like!
Clean room. Nice owners. Went to the hometown to party and short drive for sleep. At around ten p.m. someone took to preparing food that kind of ruined perfect stay. No noise. Good sound proofing
I've stayed here four times and am always happy with my experiences here. This is a small "mom n pop" motel that is a good value for the money. If you are looking for a fancy hotel room, look elsewhere. If you want a cheap, clean room to lay your head, this place is great. I always enjoy staying here, especially for the fact that all of the rooms (all 12 of them) are decorated in different themes!
The rooms are cheesy, but, fun. We got the cowboy room. Our toilet tank was leaking, but, maintenance handled it immediately. Strange that there was no hand soap for the sink. Luckily I had some from another hotel. Very conveniently located, very clean, doesn’t smell funny at all. A fun experience so far! The WiFi is sketchy.
This was such a cozy little place! I'm not a fan of big- brand name hotels. We loved this place. The room was decorated in a farm motif and looked a little bit like we'd just stepped out of a time machine. But that only adds to the charm. Room was super clean. Check in/out was easy and they were good at communicating with me. One honest note: the mattresses are really firm which made it a challenge for me to get to sleep. Nice location, near the river and all the beautiful fall colors. If we need to travel to the area again, we'll be back.
Stayed here recently and had a pleasant experience. The room was clean and included a microwave and fridge—just what I needed. Great location, close to several state parks and outdoor activities. If you're okay with a basic motel setup, this place is a solid choice.
A GREAT STAY! Service at the front desk was top notch, they allowed us to check-in an hour early, the rooms are clean & spacious, inexpensive, & the area is so peaceful. Paid about $160.00 for 2 nights over the weekend (Saturday-Monday) through Expedia. The town it's located in has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Would stay here again without a doubt. Check-out time is 10 a.m.
A 1-minute walk from the banks of Rock River, this rustic low-rise hotel 1.9 miles from Silver Ridge Golf Course and 3.4 miles from Lowden State Park.
