The staff were awesome. The room was cute and clean. Beds were comfortable, but the pillows were too big for my liking. I slept well anyways. The shower had great water pressure and it stayed hot. The name on the sign does not match their name, so it was confusing when we arrived. All in all, I'd definitely stay here again.

Great old style single floor motel. The staff are so friendly and welcoming with a laid back yet customer service focused approach. The room is on the pricey side compared with other places but the location and food onsite make it worth it. The bar and restaurant staff are brilliant. Thanks.

I was a bit surprised when we drive up, and thought we were in the wrong place because the sign says Angler Motel and it seems very small. But the room was great. They do have mini fridge/freezer and a one cup coffee maker. Shampoo but no conditioner (ladies bring your own!). Very clean (slightly disinfectant smelling when we first walked in. I'm sensitive so just left the door open a few minutes). All in all wonderful experience. The hotel and restaurant staff were fantastic. I will definitely go again.

"Ok for a quick stay"

6.0

Friendly staff, ok rooms, location

While our rooms were mostly clean, the floors needed mopping. Our feet turned black walking around the rooms. Stained sheets (hopefully clean but stained) should be switched out considering the price.

Perfect little spot to stay for Rainbow Springs adventures. The rooms are basic, but the beds are comfy, the pillows squishy, and the A/C is ice cold. The restaurant has amazing steamed shrimp. The staff were really nice too. The only comment I did have is that the weekday maid smokes the entire time she's cleaning, so there is a lingering scent of cigarettes. But the weekend housekeeper is delightfully friendly.
