Disliked: Cleanliness
Upon arriving, I was greeted with a room that was infested with house flies. There were easily 30-40 of them. So disturbing. I was afraid to open the closet for fear of what might be in there! There is no front desk person and it was a digital self check. So, it was not clear what I should do. I proceeded to kill as many as I could and called it a night. Photo is of one group of my kills! I found a number to call the next morning and a nice fellow that lives on site answered. He said he was going to relay the issue to the owner. I never heard from anybody again. The lack of an interest or consideration from the management to simply acknowledge the issue with a courtesy call or email prompted me to write this review. It’s a cute little motel with some simple design updates to the room. Could do with an extra chair and a small credenza to set your stuff. Other than the gross flies, it’s your typical little motel made to look modern. Overpriced for what is and definitely so for my stay.

Jacob, the reception manager at The Birches went above and beyond to help me resolve an issue with a double booking issue I had with Expedia and secure my refund. Expedia still has an old account of mine from twenty years ago listing a yahoo email I no longer use. You cannot get a human being to help in real time at Expedia. I have tried for years to get Expedia to use only my new account and associated email to no avail. I had only one booking showing on my Expedia app until check in time when ai called Jacob directly at The Birches. THANK YOU JACOB !

My stay was "okay". Its fine for a night, but its not a cool old motel refresh like i thought. Very cheaply done, and things were pretty worn. But it wasnt filthy or felt unsafe. Just not great. You can do better in the area.

The property manager was a delightful gentleman. He gave me a lot of local insider knowledge because he grew up in the area. I can’t find anything wrong with my stay. It was absolutely great and I hope to go again.

Hidden gem. I have stayed in worse in higher class hotels. It was quiet, clean, cool, and super comfortable beds. My small complaint was the provided bathroom items (soap, shampoo, and conditioner), were empty (just conditioner). Great parking, safe rooms, and super quiet. Do not judge this motel by the outside (which is also very cute), it was an awesome stay. Easy check in and check out. Just far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough to take a quick ride to everything. Awesome stay can’t say enough!
