The new owners are in the process of renovating the property. The bathroom was completed and nice. The thermostat did not work. Therefore we were not able to regulate the heat to comfortable level during out stay. The owner stated that they are in the processing of changing out the thermostat.

Looks like there are new owners. They are currently renovating the property. The room is clean and in very good shape. They have done a nice job. It’s a basic motel but would recommend for a one night stay.

motel was being renovated and materials laying out side. My unit was complete and super new. I thought the stay o/n was over charged as other stays at other motels that we used where $20 to $50 cheaper for the similar facilities. Other than the costs it was good

The room was very, very small and we were thankful we were only there for 1 night. The only other issue was the bathroom, although nicely renovated, did have a mildew smell. We would not consider staying there again. The owner was very pleasant and the room was clean.

Seriously overpriced. Old property that it appears owners are trying to update. Bathroom ok and new carpeting. Linens were awful. Old fashioned bedspread was concerning—hard to believe it’s washed after each stay. Pillows uncomfortable. Everything related to where one sleeps is sub-par. If the mattress was new, it was inexpensive. Bottom line, it is the type of place typically found in the very bottom tier of pricing—not in a mid tier.

Nick & his wife work extra hard to please there guests. The new renovations look great and rooms bright and clean. Here is the disappointing partExpedia did nothing to assure our stay here at the motel. Do yourselves a favor avoid Expedia and deal with the hosts themselves. I rate the Motel 5 star Expedia zero they would have left us out in the cold never booking our stay ......sad

The hotel owners were pleasant and helpful. Our room was clean as was the property. We enjoyed the ac which worked well, as did the shower. We also liked the convenience of parking in front of our door . Our only disappoinment was the tv which was not " smart" and offered an extremely limited number of channels.

Property owner is in process of upgrading hotel in this little town motel with new tubs, sinks, and tile floors in bathroom and new carpets. He is also in process of putting siding on building. It was quiet with no noise of construction during the time we stayed. The owner was a pleasant gentleman. The beds could use a light blanket as it was only a sheet and quilted type bedspread.

The room was updated and clean. The management was very friendly and helpful. The room was expensive for what you got - it was quite small. The management has obviously been working to upgrade the property but has a long way to go. By the way I travelled for more than 15 years on business across North America so have experience with the best and worst properties.

Very filthy, smelly rooms with very outdated furniture torn and broken furniture. The owners were rude. When complained about the FILTHY Oven ,the caretaker(the lady at the front desk) she said if you don’t use it then you don’t have to worry about it( then why is the room is so expensive..: for hot water?) the rooms were not at all cleaned properly and the lamps were not working( which means they never inspected the room before giving it to the guests) and only after a complaint they changed it. The showers won’t give hot water consistently and suddenly you will feel a jolt of cold water charging you during your hot bath. The floors were shaky and felt like it would collapse at any moment and for every complaint you gave to him(Nick the caretaker/ property manager) got more angry. It was quite apparent from the pitch of his voice and then we stop arguing. I would request Expedia to inspect the property to know the reality of what they’re giving it’s customer and remove this property from their ads as it is dangerous to stay there.

A dump. Mostly a local resident hotel for the down and out. Office was a dump with just enough room for one person to stand surrounded by boxes and trash. Outrageous to charge that amount!

At least the room did not smell musty.
Some upgrades were done in the room and bathroom. No bedside lamp. The mattress had a vinyl projector which made any shifting in bed very loud. Very thin walls. Luckily the people next door went to bed early. Front office is a mess. Not very welcoming.

The owners of this motel are amazing. Nick and his wife were really friendly and accommodating. Don't judge this motel by the outside, as the inside is really well furnished and kept clean. The fridge had a smell but the owners assured us that they're aiming to replace them. They mentioned their plan on completing all inner renovations before moving to the exterior. Keep in mind that the address shown by Expedia is a little off (you have to drive further down past the chrysler dealership), but just call the front desk if you get lost!

Very accommodating!! Went way above and beyond to help us with an item left behind when we were on a deadline to catch the ferry from South Baymouth. Also, made personal items available for our dinner that we grilled onsite. Outside upgrades are in process, but room interior was very nicely upgraded! We were on a motorcycle trip going through Manitoulin Island and this was a great place to stop and stay!
