Clean and staff was friendly. Great location. It needs a little TLC. Some fresh paint outside. Bathroom door sticks. Otherwise no real complaints. Would stay again.

Great stay

This was a very comfortable stay. Clean, quiet, and easily accessible as well. The TV didn't have volume when I turned it on but after I told the office the manager came right away, did a restart of the device, and it worked again. I was able to park right next to my room and I liked how the motel looked on the outside, too. It's a short, simple drive into town while being removed from any distractions. The price is right, too, and the manager friendly. I would gladly stay again.

This is a very dirty and old property. It has really been run down and needs to be updated and cleaned. The staff did not speak fluent English so it was difficult to get answers to many questions but they were kind. While adjusting the shower head, it broke in my hands. The staff replaced it the same day. The room smelled strongly of mildew and mold. I will not stay here again.

A perfectly fine if old and a bit dingy. Fine for a place to crash between hikes. Can walk to a decent restaurant, just 5 minutes down the road. On a branch of the Pemi River, kids could play in it. Water low so would be very safe. I spent a half hour fly fishing, caught several small native brook trout. Shower could have been cleaner, bed was clean and comfortable.

This place is disgustingly dirty. The furniture was original a long, long time ago. Coming in the door to the cottage was like a guillotine and there solution was use a cinder block to hold it open which of course would let in mosquitos. Never addressed. The walls, floors and furniture were filthy, worn down and the cushions collapsed. The beds folded into the middle and we're disgusting. He walked the dog through our yard as the cottage was behind his house. Very intrusive, the kitchen window which faces the cottage was always open and it felt like being spied on. Joined us in the water asked if we wanted privacy but didn't leave. He jovially said "You're wealthy" when we arrived, which I found insulting. 2690 is 4 miles in on Stinson Lake Rd highly inconvenient as only one way out. This place should be delisted from any service, no respect for their property or guests. Great for a frat party.

The hotel was very rundown. The carpet was extremely dirty. There was tape on the ceilings and walls. The towels looked ratty and old and were falling apart. When we used the AC, it was blowing warm air and filled the room with burning electricity smell. We made it one night before we had to leave.
