And older motel but clean and great value in todays over priced accommodations. Could be a bit warm on a very hot day as there is in AC. A great place to lay your head when sightseeing the area.

Marcia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The owner was very friendly. The breakfast was very simple but adequate. No ac in the room but the fan helped. Bbq on the property came in very handy to make our supper. The room we stayed in was dated but everything worked. The yellow tub was very retro. Lots of towels, wash clothes, soap and shampoo
christine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very nice place overlooking Milo Lake. The room was a bit tight with door not being able to be opened fully due to furniture and the bed was very close to the bed. There was no a/c but they provided a fan. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Caulist, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Will do in a pinch for a night.

Got there just as office was closing, helpful to get us settled. Room was tiny. Bathroom was semi renovated; nice floors, tub was a 1970 original olive green, and there was black mold around the tub. The bed was small with little blankets and two smaller pillows. There was a fan and light attached to the switch and furniture was mismatched. The office was not open in the am and I tried to contact front desk to leave key but there was no answer.
