Basic hotel but the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Ours had a nice size table and chairs as well as two recliners so we could enjoy the space and didn't have to sit on the bed to eat, watch TV etc. Only downside was the bar next door. There was a little traffic but nothing to complain about.

I recommend this hotel, especially if you are traveling with pet. The rooms are a generous size and and super clean! The building is old and with a bit of a musty order but you can tell the owner is working on it; it was not over whelming. They even called me because I left a pillow! That was so kind. I really liked that was a door to the hall way and one to the outside with a parking place right in front of it. Breakfast in nice, coffee it really good.

Nice little motel next to a nice restaurant. For the price point it was sufficient and quiet. The staff was friendly. Will stay there again if we are in Carroll. One note - the sign advertises "hot breakfast" with pictures of eggs and sausages. You need to tell the front desk that you want the hot breakfast ahead of time, or only a continental one will be available. The staff told me not enough people eat the hot food and it goes to waste at great expense, so they are now serving it upon request.

It's fine. Basically the only place that takes dogs, which is why we booked. Booked a room online and then was told on arrival that we couldn't have a dog in that room, so we moved to a more basic room that allowed dogs. However, we were up-charged for the basic room, which we could've booked cheaper through Expedia had we known our originally-booked room wasn't dog-friendly. A dog cleaning fee was added, which was also not indicated anywhere until check in. They never changed the bedsheets or cleaned the room (or even dressed the bed), and only gave us fresh towels once in four days. That seemed a bit shoddy considering the extra $20 a day cleaning fee.

This is a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The breakfast was pretty good as well. The only suggestion I would make, is to upgrade the table lamps so that you have easier access to plug your wireless devices into. An awesome place and you can’t beat the price.

This property has seen better days. That being said, the people at the front desk were nice. The room looked nice, but had a strong odor like old urine mixed with must/mold. They had a plug-in air freshener in the room that didn’t help. Kind of just made the odor worse. The sheets and towels were clean. Mattress good. Nice sized TV. For breakfast there was a waffle machine, four mini cinnamon buns,bread,cereal,and jugs of milk and coffee set out. Also four sausages and some powdered eggs in the steam table when the breakfast room opened. Pretty much what I expected for the price, except that odor in the room and throughout the hotel were a game-changer for me to come back again. Not sure if the smell is fixable, but if it isn’t,much business will be lost.

This is a basic hotel with basic amenities. Two adults in the room and we had 2 towels, one hand towel, one wash cloth. Breakfast was provided but not well stocked. A few pieces of bread, 3 pieces of sausage, about a cup of scrambled eggs. We had what we needed but nothing extra. Basically clean but it’s an old facility and showing it’s age.

Room was quiet and clean. A/C good and shower great pressure. Beds were ok-little hard and covers thin. Breakfast cold items-usual-waffle good. Sausage and eggs both looked microwaved. Front desk was excellent but hard to understand.

The breakfast was good except for the sausage. The staff was friendly and the room appeared clean except for the strong smell of animal. I had a hard time sleeping because I could feel all the Springs in the bed due to the mattress being old and I made the staff aware of it the next morning.

It was all fine. The breakfast "buffet" really had a lot to be desired. But the room was nice for the price we paid.

Nice little motel next to a nice restaurant. For the price point it was sufficient and quiet. The staff was friendly. Will stay there again if we are in Carroll. One note - the sign advertises "hot breakfast" with pictures of eggs and sausages. You need to tell the front desk that you want the hot breakfast ahead of time, or only a continental one will be available. The staff told me not enough people eat the hot food and it goes to waste at great expense, so they are now serving it upon request.

An amazing small independent hotel! The entire hotel was beautiful, perfectly clean....not a dirty spot to be found anywhere! It was quiet with terrific guest service, even though we did not arrive until 1:30am. Breakfast was far beyond expectations with eggs, sausage, and even make your own waffles, plus other continental items. When we come for family reunions, this will be our place!

This property has seen better days. That being said, the people at the front desk were nice. The room looked nice, but had a strong odor like old urine mixed with must/mold. They had a plug-in air freshener in the room that didn’t help. Kind of just made the odor worse. The sheets and towels were clean. Mattress good. Nice sized TV. For breakfast there was a waffle machine, four mini cinnamon buns,bread,cereal,and jugs of milk and coffee set out. Also four sausages and some powdered eggs in the steam table when the breakfast room opened. Pretty much what I expected for the price, except that odor in the room and throughout the hotel were a game-changer for me to come back again. Not sure if the smell is fixable, but if it isn’t,much business will be lost.

No coffee for breakfast. All I need is a cup of coffee, but they were out. Maybe I was too late.

It was 3 of us who stayed a week. The first morning we ate the breakfast it sent us all to the bathroom. The eggs were watery and the sausage looked raw. There was no fruit or bagels. You can make waffles but the breakfast was awful. The shower flooded our bathroom because every time you moved the curtain would move and spray out in the bathroom. It was also hard to turn on and off. The room itself was good. We liked the beds. I don’t like rooms where you come in from outside though as I don’t feel as protected but our room was inside luckily.
