If the vibe you want is the Schitt's Creek motel before the Roses bought it + your dad's apartment when he first moved out, this is the place for you. The good parts: available, safe, and easy to get to. And the owner seems nice. The rest, starting with the less significant: extension cords everywhere. No one had stayed in this place in something like four years, as far as I can tell from the lack of reviews here and the document I'll mention later, so I'd have thought that maybe wiring would be updated. I'd also have expected things like contact paper to be restuck down to the little table, the mold to have been at least covered up if not removed, peeling up vinyl flooring to have been restuck down, and new linens (the photos show the same bedding in the last review in December 2018 as the stuff I found in November 2022). Also no blankets or pillows beyond the dorm-room comforter on the bed; each room has its own baseboard heating, but of course one's body temperature doesn't stay the same throughout the night, so this is not great, IMO. Also the rooms aren't accessible (regular sidewalk curb to get in). And the driveway could be lit better for safety turning in at night. But the worst part by far was that, when I googled the owner's name, which I learned when I arrived because he calls you to instruct you on getting into the room for the first time and getting your key, I found one relevant result: minutes of a town meeting in December 2018: in which the owner was trying to convince the town council to allow him to operate the motel despite the fact that the septic field was less than 50 feet from the water source. So I did not feel safe using water for anything other than flushing the toilet. Oh, another relatively trivial thing was the noise. Throughout the night was the sound of a man urinating in a toilet in a room above me except that there was no such room; I guess it was the baseboard heat? I don't know. It was loud and I had a terrible night's sleep. I ended up cutting my visit short so I wouldn't have to stay another night. I think I paid something like $90 or $100 for the night I stayed (I booked for $110, but I got a discount because I'd booked for two nights, so I don't remember what it ended up being per night; I didn't request a refund for the night I didn't stay). I did take video, but I haven't posted it anywhere yet. I'll add a link here if I ever do.
