Good and basic motel with friendly staff. Easy parking, clean rooms, self-serve breakfast with plenty of options, and a 3-minute drive to the regional hospital. The rail trail runs right behind it, making it a very pleasant 12-minute walk to the nearest restaurant.

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

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.

Before I give my review, I believe the hotel was undergoing a complete renovation room-by-room. Our room had not been renovated yet so I don’t think it should’ve been rented out. What we noticed for the two nights that we stayed there was a shabby & dusty room. I don’t mind shabby and old, but I don’t appreciate it being unclean. The bathtub and the toilet were dirty. The shower curtain was disgusting. My husband and I did not take showers for the two nights that we stayed there. The vanity/sink in the bathroom appeared to be clean. There were plenty of towels. The floors were dusty and damaged. The sheets on the beds were rumpled and old and the bedspreads were stained. There were no hooks in the bathroom. There was no closet. The kitchen was not fully equipped: there were no glasses nor dishcloths/towels. There were a few dishes and eating utensils and only one dull knife. No veggie peeler; no bottle openers. The price of the room was not high, but you weren’t getting much for your money. I would wait until they did a complete renovation before ever renting a room from this motel again. The staff seemed to be friendly, although we didn’t spend a lot of time speaking to the staff.
