Jumping Frog Motel

What guests think

At Jumping Frog Motel, travellers describe a no frills, retro roadside stay with basic in room conveniences, generally clean spaces and comfortable beds, plus a quiet, convenient location near shops and town, all at reasonable prices for short stays.

Rooms are dated and simple, often equipped with a mini fridge, microwave and TV, and Wi Fi feedback ranges from strong to nonfunctional. Several guests note small rooms, bright exterior lights or street noise in some units, and occasional maintenance issues such as weak water pressure, inconsistent hot water, and worn fixtures. Service is generally friendly and accommodating, though a few report rude interactions or limited help with problems. Expect a budget, old school motel that prioritizes value and simplicity over modern amenities.

If you’re looking for fancy, this isn’t your place. If you want a good nigh’s sleep & no frills, then the Jumping Frog Motel is perfect. It is a 1950s era style old-school motel. Quaint, charming, reasonably priced & perfect for an overnight stay after a day of visiting wineries or attending a concert at Ironstone Amphitheater.

Quaint little motel..nothing fancy, but bed was comfy, room was clean and all the staff were extremely kind and attentive! Convenient location too...right near heart of town, but not on main road so much more quiet! If you are looking for modern and fancy...this is not it...but if you want a bed, basic ammenities, great service, and location all at a much more reasonable price...this is the place! It is very old/dated...which is the charm as it is an old motor motel from the 40's I believe. Linens are new/clean and has dish tv, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker..so it has what you need.

Our dtay was amazing. Such friendliness. Yes, older motel and parking a little tight but cottages so cute. The office offered points of interest and brought us a huge basket filled with fresh fruits, sweet breads, cereals, milk, juices. We had the apples before bedtime then took the contents for a beautiful breakfast brunch picnic at the lake.

I was very disappointed in the motel, first of all the rating on line was a 7.0 out of 10 when in reality, it should be no higher than a two. Upon arriving was greeted by a pleasant lady. As I went to my room the first thing I noticed was the paint was peeling off the front door, that should’ve been my first noticeable issue. Once inside the room, not only was everything extremely old, but the baseboards were dirty the closet pole was a metal pipe. The air conditioner was stuck in the closet. The TV did not work at all for the first day, and the lady working, there, did not know how to Correct that. I was trying to stay on a budget and I would have been better off, sleeping in my vehicle. I will never stay there again, even if it cost me twice the amount of money.

Old motel. Small rooms. Inadequate blinds and a glaring light outside the room that would make it hard to sleep. Inconsistent hot water. No light in the shower, and water would splash outside making the bath mat wet every time. Swamp cooler HVAC that was located in the closet for some reason, and yet was so loud it would vibrate the whole room, and wake us up every time it would turn on in heat mode - there was no setting I could find to default to fan mode if the temperature was warm enough. Ugh. Very few power outlets for charging phones/laptops. At least there was a (small) fridge, working microwave, and coffee maker. Nice lady manning the front desk, but this place needs a dedicated maintenance guy (handyman) too to address these many - fixable - issues.

Platform style bed was very comfortable and clean. Room was odor-free despite the smell of wildfires outside. Overall this is a very smart facility that is clean, well furnished, and very close to a supermarket and fast food options. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
