Great little mom and pop type hotel. Very clean. Friendly staff. Parking right outside your door. Nice place for a no-frills stay. Just a bit outdated.

There was plenty of parking for our fishing boats. We were able to charge our batteries in the boats with the outside outlets.

Was clean and since we were fishing all day it was sufficient for sleeping. Had plugs in the parking lot to re-charge boat batteries. The safe was friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again.

We have stayed at motels numerous times and this was definitely not our favorite. The room was stifling hot. No air was turned on prior to our arrival and it was positioned behind the bathroom door so if the door was opened which it was you would not find it. The toilet was never cleaned but they did come and clean it. The room was not vacuumed. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable but we will not be back.

For the price, this place is surprisingly well kept. Our room was very clean and had a fresh smell. It's obvious the owners care about keeping the place looking clean. The bathroom was clean and stocked with hygiene products. The bedding was clean and everything in our room was working. We stayed in November so the room air-conditioning was disabled and the heat source are radiant wall heat which leaves no way to circulate air. The room was warm, but if you want circulating air, bring a fan. Plus the radiant heat caused a banging as the metal heated and cooled which woke me a few times. Also, the beds are extra firm. My son liked that. But i prefer a softer matress but if you like a super firm matress you’ll be happy. The lack of aìr movement and super firm mattresses were the only thing preventing me from giving an overall 5 stars.

This is an old, bare bones motel. I only stayed there because I was spending the day with a group that was camping along the nearby Rifle River and there was nowhere else close by. It was mostly clean...the end of the shower curtain is obscured by the open bathroom door and it had a very dirty handprint on it. When I left I pulled the curtain to the other end in the hopes housekeeping would notice. The inside of the microwave door was very rusty. The towels and sheets were clean. The refrigerator was clean and actually had a separate freezer compartment. It was fairly quiet except for the late night and early morning train coming through. I heard zero noise from other rooms both nights. The in the wall A/C unit worked well to cool the room.

This place is a throwback to a 1950s motel. Two queen beds make a crowded room. Not one hook or hanger(s) to hang clothing. One wood chair. Tiny bathroom--shower is a stall, not a tub size. Room was dusty. Old style mercury thermostat for heat (it did work). Tiny A/C unit mounted on back wall not sealed well. Can't believe Expedia would include this choice. Aarghh!

The motel itself was wonderful. The staff on the other hand, were rude and unwelcoming. We were there for our wedding, they didn't even say a word to us about it. We got a tiny discount for renting 5 rooms at once. They tried to charge us for an extra room. I lost something there and they claim it's not there. All in all I won't be staying there again.

Good location, easy to find. Lady in office during check-in and check-out was very pleasant. Room was clean, but had a sewer smell that was drawn into the room when bathroom fan would run. Smell seemed to come from behind a locked door that could possibly open to a closet behind the shower....? We sprayed febreeze to counteract the bad smell.

This motel if definitely dated but what motel isn’t? The service was great and the room clean and comfortable. You could tell they take pride in their property because when we checked in they were mowing, leaf blowing, cleaning up spider webs. Plus, there is a great cash only food and ice cream place next door.

The price is good, the bedding is clean and comfortable. The staff is wonderful. It seems very safe there. My biggest disappointment was no coffee in the rooms. You have to go to the office to get it and i prefer enjoying my coffee while still in my pjs. I really feel it would be a very small, yet very wise investment to include the comfort and convenience of coffee in the rooms. I actually brought a large coffee from the convenience store with me the night before, put it in the fridge and warmed it in the microwave in the morning. However the microwave was a bit rusty on the inside and needed replaced.

Glad the unit had AC as it was hot and muggy. Comfortable and clean which was appreciated. Had to go to office for coffee and didn’t realize they stopped making it at 9 so went the short distance to McD to get our last cup. We’ll stay again when in the area.

It is a older motel and I did not expect too much, it was much cleaner than some of the national chains that I have stayed at though. We were in Standish for a funeral and only needed a place to stay for one night and this motel had 3 rooms available when others in the area were booked up. This was on July 4th and the funeral was on July 5th. It was an okay motel but not really worth $123.00. I elected to pay at arrival during the booking process but received a phone call @9:00 AM the next day asking for my card number, so the pay when you arrive option is not really enforced. They were friendly though and bring your coffee maker.

We stay in Standish often. It is close but far enough away from home for a stay-ca. I love the mattresses, pillows, and walk-in shower. Could use coffee makers. Staff is exceptional and friendly. We request a certain room and they accommodate us everytime with advance notice. You need to know how to turn frig. on though. Also, they don't turn on the heat before you come. Other than being close to US-23. It is an ideal motel for us.
