Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures that are posted is not the room I got. The room was old. No extra toilet paper and no Kleenex or blow dryer. Didn’t know how to use the TV. No staff to help you with anything not even check in or out. They leave a key in a box by your room. I wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone. Was very upset with this place.
Very small and dead spiders

I would stay again in the future. The area around where it is on the edge of town is beautiful with the rolling hills of the bluff country. Close to the river.

A great stay in a small town motel

This a lovely old small town motel, because of terrible weather, we were the only customers. The room was clean and warm, and the price was right. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Lansing.

Cute but bad night sleep

The little cabin was set up cute, but the bed was very uncomfortable. The rest was fine. The frig did freeze our pop.

Inside the room & restroom were exceptionally clean & bed was comfortable. We received a key code to a box by door that held the key so getting in was very convenient. They did have chairs outside to sit on but there were buckets full of cigarette butts there which made it look kind of grungy. We did appreciate the lack of smoke in the rooms so I’m guessing that helps with that. The other thing that was not nice was that the remote did not work for tv. It said it was not connected to the system & without a front desk to call we were simply out of luck.

Only if you have to

Well we arrived between 6.30pm and 6.45pm and the office was closed. We’d had no comma about getting in and there was no cellphone signal to call them. Luckily the WiFi password was visible through the office window so was able to message through hotels.com. Around 8pm we got a reply and we’re finally able to get into the room. Shortly afterwards it sounded like there was a pow wow going on in the room above for about 30 minutes. Apart from all that it was an okay stay

It was unique, because you didn't go to an office to get a key, they send you a text with a code to get your key out of a box right by your door. We didn't see any staff to talk to, it was convenient, but we would rather get the key from an office with someone to hand it to us, I guess we are old fashioned. Read different reviews, not sure what to expect, it was an older motel, it seemed clean and plenty of towels for us, they had soap and shampoo, there was a fridge and microwave. Only two small complaints, the room freshener was extremely strong, a good smell, but way too much and one of the shades was missing the bottom part, so it didn't cover the whole window. It was a cute room and we would stay there again if we were passing through.

The good - it was clean, relatively quiet at night (it's directly on highway 9), & hot water in the shower. There was a nice effort to make the cabin look rustic. Weathered old wood for the trim (though the carpentryleft a lot to be desired and more than a few trim pieces missing) and nice baskets for the towels. The not so good - Let's start with an office that's apparently not used and evidently always closed. The only way you can "reach" anyone is to have to call this phone number which they do not answer. Oh, and BTW, they they also will never return your phone calls. Seriously, how do they expect to make money at this place when the Service is non-existent? The 100 or so ladybugs inside the cabin falling on you, esp while you're trying to sleep I guess was somewhat cute, but a little annoying. You have to be your own handyman to fix the numerous things here - as the Bathroom mirror was at a 20° angle. You have to relocate the power cord to the TV so it doesn't constantly get pinched in the door jam. There's a very small night stand next to one of the beds and because there's no room in this cabin you can'not close the bathroom door because it strikes the night stand. Let's see, the refrigerator was at a 10° tilt and would not open easily as its door hinge doesn't fit. Again, it was clean. The beds well tucked, overall average comfort. In summary: This place could use some TLC from the owners. Kudos to the cleaning staff.

Room was clean, pillows too soft, shower was hot. Quiet location. Difficult to get a hold of the office. Selected cash at location for checkout, but my card on file was already charged. Towels were soft and fluffy. Bed was semi comfortable. Overall, would stay here again since there is not much available in the area.
