I can’t give enough praises
This place was great! I wish there were more of these small little places left. Easy access to the parking lot. Awesome rooms, very clean, had a great shower and a memory foam bed. I believe a husband and wife both live on site and run the place. She was super friendly at check-in. I would highly recommend for anybody.

We needed a place to stay for the night after a very long drive. This place was convenient and very clean. I was greeted by friendly staff and I was impressed how comfortable the bed was. Had a good night rest for the long journey ahead. Would stay here again.

The updated motel was very clean and bed was comfortable. Had a check-in snafu that was quickly corrected by the owner. Since still an older facility hard to get wheelchair into room and impossible to get into bathroom but we made it work. No complaints

Clean & comfortable.
Clean & comfortable altho room smelled a little musty until aired out. Probably due to the motel being a lake country resort type unit and closed up during winter. I like this type of motel where one parks the car right outside the room door! So handy. And there were 2 chairs & a small table outside where we relaxed & drank a beer after long day driving

Ok stay
Pelican Rapids a cute little town. The motel was adequate. The first night two men were standing outside my room drinking and talking until very late into the night. In the morning there were 3 empty cases of Coronas. I guess no one is on site at night. I’m a woman traveling alone, so was not feeling like I could say much to them.

Thank you for your review; we did speak with those guests as we are a family oriented establishment. They understood; thankfully we have never had an incident. We hope you stay with us again.
