This review is going to be a looooong reading.
We chose this motel based on the google ratings (big mistake) and its location.
I wrote an email a month before our arrival to ask information about the winter holidays` hours in the area, never got any respond.
When we arrived, everything looked as we expected from outside. The motel is in a walking distance to the main road, stores, restaurants, playgrounds. There was a beautiful deer in the parking lot walking casually. Nice first impression.
The lobby looked like a furniture storage where we stepped in, the clock on the wall stopped, and the flyers were absolutely out of dates. There was a restaurant on the local suggestions which closed two years ago. FYI: Another is empty and for sale on the main road.
The check-in went well with a not really communicative/friendly lady, but hey, everyone can have a bad day. Not to mention we arrived an hour earlier, so we were really grateful.
We got a room somewhere (no instructions, no map, kind of treasure hunt) and we saw dirt on the wall (it took 5 secs to clean it), food under the table, scratches on the wall, huge gaps between the hardwood panels, two not working remote controllers to the tv, hanging curtain rail. The bedding was clean and new. What we did not notice in time: the bed had a missing leg. We talked to the reception, the lady came up and we got a refund for the first night and changed the room next morning. The other room was better, but the carpet was extremely filthy.
The breakfast is the standard, nothing special. The same lady made the breakfasts, and the service table was everything but welcoming. There were some opened juice boxes, crystalized honey without serving tool, no label on the thermoses, and the garbage container was open and full for days.
We learned that there was an owner change one/two years ago and we can tell that the new owner has not put heart into this inn. This inn definitely had better days in caring hands, but the 4.6 rating is not realistic at all. Also under staffing is a huge issue in the region, but I have a feeling that no one would say no for a reasonable salary with a little extra over the minimum.
