A small place off the highway. Had a little kitchen next door and had a hot meal after a long day. Room was cozy. Only negative is trains do run behind the property in the middle of the night and the hwy is in in the front. We knew ahead of time and had ear plugs and slept great. Would definitely stay again

A very nice and remote area. We stayed in the caboose and it was great. You are near the historic rail way so trains do run near but that did not bother us. The food at the tavern was very good and the portions were large.

Secluded cabin, it was cozy. We were there during fall so we used ac during the day but there was no heat source in the room for the chilly morning. The staff there are awesome and the cafe has great Asian food. It’s a little pricey but given the location it was probably fair. I look forward to my next stay!

Great stay overall! The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and everything was well-maintained. The only small downside was that the shower water could have been a bit hotter. Other than that, everything was perfect and I’d happily stay here again

Average roadside motel. It is sitting in front of a rail switching yard. Although we heard no train whistles, there was train traffic all night. We were awoken about four times during the night. I would however stay again. Please replace the pillows.

This is a family owned and operated little motel, a long time in business. For the value, I would recommend it. But I would also highly recommend you leave your porch light on all night. Someone tried to get into my room with their keys that obviously matched their door and not mine. Scared the hell outta me. I watched this dark-hooded figure try to key in and eventually come back with a flashlight, discover they were at the wrong door and then leave. Probably harmless, but I couldn't fall asleep after that. Otherwise, the hotel is right by the highway, Amtrak trains at night, and thin walls between rooms. Probably safe enough, just can be noisy.
