A Moment with History With Mr. Flint
My family of 6 stayed here a few years ago and it was beyond fabulous. It so close to everything and of course Golden Harvest is right across the street. Amazing place my kids loved it. Will be coming back.

2 storey 50's or older motel, quaint, clean, pretty basic. Always had trouble entering (doorknob key didn't work well & there's no key for the deadbolt, though you can use it once inside). Staff said it'd been lubed with WD 40, but graphite or a synthetic is the proper lube. Tile floors in large bathroom/sink/closet area were freezing cold in March, with a tiny independently controlled baseboard heater in the toilet area not making a difference. Floor tile looked new, they could've put inexpensive electric heat wiring under it. The through-wall heater in the main room was useful, but being under the window, caused the drapes mounted outside the window inset to flap noisily and interfere with the heat distribution; a tension rod closer to the window could eliminate that problem. March is the off-season, when the breakfast cafe is closed & rates are said to be lower, but not on weekends they say. After a heavy snowfall, it would be nice to see markers for the driveway and parking lot that blended in with the grass. Be careful if you need to go to the office: the half round 2 stairs are tall and difficult to climb (made worse by the doormat that doesn't completely cover the top stair, so when you step up you're leaning backwards). Been there a few years ago in summer, when the cafe, cute grounds, & the Apple store (fruit, cider, donuts) across the street were available. Then it was worth $85/night.

Solid, but basic sleeping quarters. Family in area, this is our preferred location when visiting. Shower a bit like needles - took forever to get shampoo out of my (short) hair (normal low flow showers, I guess - I'm in there there three longer trying to get soap off, so not sure the benefit. :-) I liked bed, she didn't care for it (sheets rough, pillows flat). No TV program list (but lots of channels, list in Guest Info Guide). Good fridge, microwave, table, chairs, lots of outlets. Dog friendly, easy to walk, lots of grass. Great night sky (in back). We miss the coffee shop used to be here, great coffee and pancakes, love to see it come back!

A good place to avoid! Very nice night staff, and a very friendly cat at the front desk, but that's where the "nice" ended. It took three different room keys to find a room that wasn't already occupied by other guests. They just seem to randomly hand out room keys to anyone. Once I finally got the key to an unoccupied guest room it smelled very, very musty and had spiders in webs in the corners. Went looking for ice. A place this large had only one home-sized ice maker in the office, and it wasn't working. If you want ice, you need to drive to the nearby grocery store for it. I couldn't leave lest they give a key to my room to someone else, and I return to find my stuff missing. If I had to do it again, I'd just as soon sleep in the car at a highway rest area.
