Excellent clean, comfortable hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/17/09
I've stayed here 4 or 5 times over the last few years, most recently in Sept 2009. This is the nicest of the three area motels I've stayed in, and is more expensive than the others. Its probably the newest motel in the area. Everything was very, very clean and well-maintained. Very comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Room was spacious. Furninshings were modern but pretty basic -- bed, desk, chair, sofa chair, couple dressers. Room had a small fridge and microwave, but no coffee pot (coffee was available in the lobby). Morning breakfast bar in the lobby was good. Theres a laundy room for guests which was very handy on long stays.
Even though the place was full, I found it to be very quiet. Its well back from busy Rt 6, and most rooms face the courtyard or adjacent properties.
On the most recent stay I was a non-smoker in a smoking room (only room they had left) so I wished the window would open, but there was no way to open it or get more ventalation -- even so it was pretty tolerable (probably due to good cleaning).
Some properties in the area give you more of the feel of being "in the woods" or at some resort, but this has a pretty basic motel feel to it, though a very nice one at that. There was a nice picnic area and barbeque out back, along with some walking trails and stream. The area is beautiful and scenic -- good for quiet getaways. Lots of parks and recreation areas within 20 or 30 minute drive.
Wired high-speed internet service was very speedy; the wireless worked fine but was a little slow. Theres a public computer in the lobby, though I did not use it.
They have a good website that will immediately let you see what rooms are available. Theres also a live "snow cam" webcam thats rather fun all year round.
Altogether quite excellent for what it is.
