Older hotel, generally clean and well kept, but bed pillow cases dingy, new bedding would be a big improvement
Jerry, 1-night trip

Good Place, Hot Coffee and Friendly Staff

The coffee was hot and the person at the desk friendly. The place was clean and economical. We'd stay there again if we came that way.
Ann, 1-night trip

Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This motel was nice and clean.. Check-in and check out were seamless. It is false advertising for the breakfast and the Egyptian cotton bedding lol..but I wasn't expecting much. The "breakfast" is Little Debbie snack ckes but the coffee is delicious. I would definitely stay here again.
Deirdre T, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room definitely overpriced. Old towels with stains, unclean shower curtain, hairs in bedding. Stairs unsafe.

Avoid this Dump!

I would avoid this property and pay the extra $50 to stay in All Seasons. Very poorly maintained property, the “breakfast “ consisted of coffee and some cheap sweets. A real dump, not worth $131/night
Breakfast. Really?
Cracked plaster
Paper holder falling off the wall

2/10 Poor

Very dirty place. Photos on a booking website were probably 10 years old! Don’t recommend to anyone.
Miroslava, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Two story motel with no elevator- difficulty accessing second floor room. Website advertised breakfast- no breakfast service available. No food options. Staff could not recommend any dinner options. Room is very small. No coffee pot in room.
Debra, 1-night trip

I decided not to stay at north country inn
Lucas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in was fast, room clean, price good!
jan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff at check-in was wonderful, but this property should not be listed on Orbitz. It was a very rundown motel that felt more like it rented rooms by the month. It had the bare minimum but honestly did not feel either safe or comfortable. I don't think anyone booking online would feel satisfied with this location.
Margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

They should clean the walls and replace shower curtain
Jesse, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place was reminiscent of the movie "Psycho". We did not feel at all safe nor were the rooms clean. Carpets were stained, bed linens were thrown haphazardly on the beds, sink and tub looked like they hadn't been cleaned from the last occupant (soap residue on the sink and counter). One in our party slept in her travel clothes and no one unpacked anything. No coffee, no attendant in the office in the morning... we left ASAP.
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great value for the money and the room was very nice.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional
