What Our Guests Say
Real stories from real guests — unfiltered and from the heart.
Great little tucked away spot with great service and a good location if privacy is what you are looking for. The room was clean, the price was extremely reasonable, they offer great extended rates, and they even let my large dog stay. Recommended if you are traveling through the area.

Right by the Farmington, this place has an unassuming beauty and resilience. Like the clients who come here, the motel itself is ever changing, improving, and offers fresh beginnings.

I've stayed here several times over the past month. I wanted enough experiences before writing an honest review. The rooms are small but extremely clean and cozy. The person who booked my room each time was personable, friendly, funny, and very welcoming.

It's wonderful to find a place with such great value. My room was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Although it's an older roadside motel, the owner was very nice. There were no bugs, no loud neighbors, and I felt very comfortable. I'll definitely stay again when traveling through.

This isn't a luxury motel, but you'll never feel more welcome. Edison, the owner, goes out of his way to make guests feel at home. The rooms are cozy, clean, and feature fresh linens, new beds, and carpeting. Everything works as expected, and the location is surrounded by lovely towns and villages. A true value for the price.

I've been staying here for over 25 years. There are definitely no bugs or bed bugs. The motel has always been a reliable place to stay. The only bugs you'll find are the mayflies and caddisflies outside, which are great if you're a fly fisherman.
