Covenant, not luxury.

Our only problem was that the Pillows were flat, but this little place was clean and warm, had hot water and was convenient for our needs.

I stayed here when attending a recent HS choir reunion. Overall I found it clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. I don't mind that the place is very old, but there are things that need to be kept to up like grouting the bathroom and floor tile. Also the walls are very thin, so I could hear the alarm go off of the drunken guy next door for over an hour at 5 am on two mornings.

Pleasant 5 night stay!

When we were not able to stay at a family member's home due to his hospitalization we found The Foster Inn in nearby Monticello. Although it is dated the room was large and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The owners were very pleasant. I enjoy baths and often find that the plug system broken in chain hotels and motels. I was delighted to be able to have baths!

Very clean and well kept up and not a trace of that old smoke smell which seems to plaque nearly all the other facilities which I have stayed in recently. A little off the path, but quaint. First time I have been given a real metal room key , instead of a computer card,,in a long time. And I liked it.-FBP

The couple who own this are very nice. It is not a fancy place. Bed was comfortable and it was a good value. Someone else commented on the tiny bars of soap. I like that as big ones dont get used up and are thrown away and thay is wasteful. I used to clean condos in Colorado.and threw away a lot of soap

My husband was afraid for me to make the reservation because of the price and it not being a chain. I wanted to give it a try. The owners were very friendly, a bit hard to understand, but friendly. The bed is extremely firm and high. And my air conditioner didn’t work, but it was cool enough I was able to get comfortable. It was very clean. Overall my stay was just what I expected it to be! Thank you!

Great value for the money!!

I was driving across the country by myself and thought that I could make it to my destination but ended up being super tired before I could get there so I booked this place to rest up and just finish the drive the next day. This hotel is super cute and the owners were such lovely people! It was such a good value for the price and I felt very safe staying here which can be hard to find as a woman traveling by herself. The bed was comfy, the shower water was hot, the room was very clean, and the air conditioner kept the room nice and cool! The lighting wasn't the best in the room I was in, but I honestly didn't mind at all. If I ever need a place to stay in this area again, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you again to the owners for being so kind and friendly. This was such a memorable stay!

Disappointed

We were hopeful that the room would be fine. However, the room smelled musty when we arrived. The lever to drain the tub would not stay down, you had to hold it to get the water to drain from the tub. The bath towels were small and extremely thin, and they were rough. We did not receive a coffee packet for our second morning. We do not recommend staying here.

Motor lodge with clean rooms

This is a 1960’s type of motor lodge and could use updating, but it was clean and everything worked. The manager was very friendly. I would stay there again.

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.

A quaint older motel near Monticello Railway Museum that has better rates than any other motel nearby. The owners were very polite and helpful.

I had to find a room fast (11:00 PM) due to my original hotel lost power. It was out of the way and was farther than Google maps indicated, but it worked for over night. Owners were great!
