I stayed 2 nights the first weekend of February 2024. I booked the room through Airbnb, just stumbled across the listing and took a chance. I usually stay at chain hotels, this time I wasn’t looking to pay an arm and a leg and I was looking for small, quiet, affordable and locally owned. Found it!
I stayed in room 16, this room has one full sized bed, a small desk, chair, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, flat screen TV, bedside table, 2 lamps, a cabinet to store items and homey decor. The bathroom is small, clean and has everything you would expect to need in a bathroom, no tub but a walk in shower.
The good… + clean, fresh smelling and cozy. + AC & heat that work great. + quiet, didn’t hear other guests once. + tons of channels on flat screen. + no contact check in, introvert friendly :) + lock box at assigned room to get key. + on the river, eagles everywhere. + Kwik Trip next door for essentials. + close to everything, but secluded. + affordable and locally owned. + prompt communication with owner.
The bad… - not a damn thing! I want to keep this place a secret so I can always snag a room when I need a quiet, peaceful getaway.
(heads up, the Kwik Trip next door isn’t open 24 hours, but drive a couple minutes up the road and you will find another one that is 24/7.)
In closing… I mentioned in the communication with the owner I was in town because my brother had passed away and I needed to come “home” to just be here and have some peace and time. When I arrived in my room, the owner had left a small bouquet of flowers with a lovely note. Just that personal touch was so unexpected and heartfelt and I will never forget that. This experience has inspired me to always look for locally owned, independent motels.

A “rural” style motel. The outside appearance is old but the rooms are quite nice. The rooms are spotless and nicely furnished. Also, they are surprisingly and pleasantly quiet. But they are dark, meaning the lighting is poor and little daylight due to small windows.
