Surprisingly amazing location with easy check in and friendly staff. Great for travel noir as well.

The motel is old but clean. But the staff and check-in arrangements are awful. There is absolutely no staff or front desk on site. We arrived at 5:30 PM to check in and fortunately it wasn't raining at the time. You are greeted with a sign telling you to call 3 different phone numbers. This is in an area where there is absolutely no cell service for miles around. The cook from the restaurant next door luckily came out and helped us get on the wireless network so we could attempt to call. We called each number many times and there was no answer. Finally after many attempts, someone not from the motel answered and tried to help get the room number and lock code. The room number and lock code were supposed to be emailed to me a couple days before but had never been sent. Even with wireless network calling, calls and texts still kept getting cut off. After 45 minutes we finally got the room number and lock code. We never heard from any staff of the motel.

We did not stay for the amenities so if you are going for the river it may be more acceptable. The pros: The room itself was clean, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. You could control the AC which is great but it was very loud. The Cons: communication was a problem. The outside is run down and pretty dirty. Although you could close the shades and blinds if someone wanted to look into the room they sure could. Also it was pretty bright in the room since the door window light shines right into the room. The deal breaker we didn’t have hot water. I did let them know but the response was kinda weird. They seemed annoyed and maybe they didn’t believe me. I’m like it’s too late for me but maybe the next people would like a hot shower. Anyway we wouldn’t stay again.

No staff present at location. Room door code is given via email/text, which can be difficult due to very spotty cellular & internet connectivity in the area (not the hotel’s fault). Room was clean, but the air conditioner was filthy with mold inside. This should have been checked long ago as part of routine maintenance. Took the front cover off & the filter out ourselves and spent a hour cleaning the coils that were filthy. No response when management was texted about the situation. This remote type of management is not conducive to customer service. Room is not cleaned daily by maid service. Beyond that, the room was clean & satisfactory.

The rooms are very clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. Self check-in was very easy and our questions were answered fairly quickly just by calling the number that was given. There is a kayak rental place that’s right there, which is a nice touch. My only complaint was that our bottom floor room was musty smelling, so if we were to stay again we’d request one on the top floor. Also, if you have mobility issues you will need to go down a flight of stairs if you reserve a 1st floor room.
