The beds were incredibly comfortable and we had a great sleep. There is no longer a restaurant at the hotel so finding breakfast or supper is a little more challenging. The Food shack down the road did offer some good grub. I did find the room smelled of stinky feet and suspect the carpets in the rooms have not been cleaned in a long time. But if you are just looking for a great sleep, this was a perfect stop.

Unexpectedly needed to stop for the night in Blue River and had a wonderful stay! The lady at the front desk was an absolute delight, a ray of sunshine and so helpful. They accomodated my cat and we had a lovely stay! If I ever am in Blue River again, I will stay here again.

Staff were all very friendly and made our family feel welcome, the kids love the little puzzle toy they give them at check in. Beds were comfy, the room was clean just what we needed for a one stop on our road trip.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room looked newly renovated. The bed and pillows were perfectly comfortable. The room was very clean. Pooja was helpful in getting the TV working and was very polite. I would have liked to see more TV channels to watch. The only thing I would have liked to see is an electrical receptacle to plug in my curling iron that had a mirror nearby. The fan was too loud in the bathroom.
