Older motel, but adequate. Comfortable beds. Easy parking. Food options are minimal, but the town is small. Most all restaurants close at 7:00.

Not as good as it used to be

This was our 3rd stay at Der Ruhe Blatz Motel and sadly will be our last. The best feature was the bed. It was very comfortable!! The room for the most part was clean but the surface on the desk and nightstand was sticky. Even after I wiped them down with an anti-bacterial wipe they were still sticky to the touch. Breakfast was marginal. Breakfast hours are 7 to 9am. Arrived at 8:30 and several items were out and not refilled. Also the concentrate bag for the orange juice needed replaced and the coffee machine was out of order. The young girl who checked us in on 7/31 night was very, friendly and helpful.

Somewhat disappointed

All the wood surfaces on the furniture were sticky. That may have been because it didn't seem like the air conditioner pulled any moisture out of the air. The bathroom exhaust fan was so loud we couldn't use it.

Best sleep ever.

Most sleep I have ever gotten in a motel room. I am used to a waterbed at home, so I always dread motel stays. This bed was so comfortable if I ever get back there, I am going to request the same room and hope they haven't changed anything!

Super nice little spot. We stayed overnight after a concert. Simple, inexpensive, comfortable beds, very clean. The decor is a bit outdated but we don’t care as long as it’s comfy and clean. Staff was nice and breakfast was good. We would definitely stay again when in the area.
