The train across the street honks its horn three times as it passes the building. It was a little hard to sleep

Very clean - extremly small - could have used a second chair to avoid all but one from having to stand - very handy for a tiny community like Bancroft - no local dining facility - had to travel to next community to eat or buy groceries

Place was beautiful inside but not much to look at outside. I would use again.I love the dishes and the whole kitchen unit. Beds were very comfortable.

I loved the setup of this room. I would have preferred a king but they were all booked… the only complaints I have are the train right next to the property and the front doors were really hard to open and close. Other than that it was clean quiet (besides the train) and it was a much homier feel ran than hotel feel. I’d definitely stay here again and we had a good trip!

The way they've redone these is pretty cute. They look nice, and felt cleaner than I was expecting. The parking lot was a bit icy in spots, but tis the season I guess. I do wish that instead of a little end table under the TV, they had a little table I could sit at to eat. Check out instructions would have been helpful, I called as I tried to leave and couldn't get ahold of anyone from either phone number to ensure I was doing what needed to be done. My only major complaint is that as they clean these rooms, maybe they should check the TV for things saved to the saved watch list by previous guests. I turned on the TV the see pornos saved to the watch list, which I found disgusting. Not only because I'm not into that, but also because I immediately felt that there was no way the bed was clean enough. Overall, I would stay here again, but bring a blanket and a can of Lysol.

For the most part this place was great! Although the bad parts really stuck out and made it not great. The floors were disgusting turning our feet and socks black in a matter of minutes. The beds weren’t too bad for motel beds. They were on wheels which made them roll around but that wasn’t a problem just odd. The shower head had originally been pointed at the wall and ended up flooding the bathroom. We were able to easily fix it but it was annoying to have to deal with in the first place. The tub also drained extremely slowly. By the end of my 10ish minute shower, the water was above my ankles. Overall I’m happy with this place I would’ve just liked a little bit more attention to cleanliness when it comes to after guests leave.

"Spartan, ridiculously unfurnished."

4.0

The room was clean, I will give it that, but it was not a practical, functional place to stay. This was one of if not the most expensive room offered at this motel. It was advertised as having such amenities as a full kitchenette, bathroom, king size bed. It indeed has those things. What they didn't mention is that they deleted ALL normal basics that even the most simple and inexpensive of budget motels would have. There are no bedside end tables or night stands of any kind. There are no lamps or any form of lighting in the room at all except for a central overhead fluorescent light that is both dim and harsh at the same time. There is no light that can be accessed from the bed. There is no desk or bureau or other counterspace or other place to set anything down except a hard bare floor. There was not a single chair in the room. The ONLY furniture in the room was a bed, and a pair of tiny round stools with a matching little round table that literally looked like they came out of a child's play house. The top of this table was about the size of a pizza. The "remodeled bathrooms" are great....as long as you don't have to use them. The toilet was shoe-horned into a corner between the wall and tub/shower such that anyone but a small child could not sit on it unless they were sitting sideways. There is no counter or any place to set toiletries/toothbrush, shaving stuff etc other than the floor. The lack of basic furniture makes the kitchenette useless. Bathroom almost unusable.
