The motel had recently been renovated in the room, reflected very well of that. Modern bathroom, great floors, bed and pillows were very comfortable. This was a spur of the moment stay and we were not disappointed.

We were pleasantly surprised that this older property had clean and recently rennovated rooms. Beds were comfy, towels were thick. Down side was you could hear the neighbors and some road noise. But all and all a good stay for a,quick overnight on our way south.

Joni, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Small motel, I believe about 10 rooms, which appear to have been recently updated. Tiki Bar on the grounds, which sits on the river, and the food is great (ask about the chocolate mousse pie). Checkin and checkout very smooth and easy, and everyone is very friendly. As a guest, we were able to fish off the dock. We have stayed twice now, and a great experience each time.
Robin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A unique and friendly place, good food and my room was perfect
Michele, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I was a bit surprised when we drive up, and thought we were in the wrong place because the sign says Angler Motel and it seems very small. But the room was great. They do have mini fridge/freezer and a one cup coffee maker. Shampoo but no conditioner (ladies bring your own!). Very clean (slightly disinfectant smelling when we first walked in. I'm sensitive so just left the door open a few minutes). All in all wonderful experience. The hotel and restaurant staff were fantastic. I will definitely go again.
