Elk Inn Motel

Nice property. Just needs a bit of updating. Great location. Brings you into the nice little town. Staff friendly

Front desk staff was helpful. Was not worth the money - everything was cheap - towels, beds, coffee. Holes in wall.

Dirty, spiders, and some type of fluids on the doors and walls. Walls were thin, could hear the tv coming from the room next to us. Our toilet randomly flushed by itself at 2 AM in the morning which was very odd. The smoke detector was missing and there was no sprinkler system in the room in case of fire. We had 2 nights booked, but felt extremely uncomfortable and unsafe after that first night so we checked out the next day. We understand it’s a 2 star hotel, but even so this was unacceptable.

Okay, I don’t want to eviscerate this property because according to other reviews the owners might have changed recently. You can tell they have tried to update the place and make it nice for guests. That being said, I’d guess there were too many years of the property being poorly maintained and perhaps a lack of care from tenants over the past 40 years (established in 1983 the signs says). My purpose of doing this review is not because it was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I want to inform travelers so they know what they’re booking. The linens were clean as were the surfaces of the furniture. But, the tub and toilet all had rust and/or mold. The painted walls were dirty. Taking a rag to them would be an easy way to improve the appearance of the room. I saw 2 bugs but one was a harmless that probably just flew in when someone was coming/going, but the other was a spider behind the bed. I am truly surprised there weren’t more since there were gaps by the door where quite a few would be able to get in. Also no sign of bed bugs (I checked), but there was a zippered cover over the mattress, so I can’t speak for the mattress itself. I would venture to guess their pest control is on point due to not having seen hardly any with that gap by the door. I also got up over night and turned on the lights to go to the bathroom and saw nothing scatter. So, to summarize: cheap, clean-ish, friendly staff, area fine, quiet. But this is not even Holiday Inn level, so know that.

THE PROPERTY GREAT FRIENDLY OWNER WAS A GREAT LADY PLACE VERY CLEAN YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A TO BE ANY GREATER

I BOOKED an Handy Cap accessible Room, was charged an $11.00 up charge. The Handrails where not properly attached to the walls, ( loose missing screws), the TOilet was not ADA Compliant, ( Not elevated ) , The Shower Surround was Cracked in several places, the electrical outlet was Not GFI protected. the Bed had No blanket only a Sheet.

I needed this as a last minute stop over night. It definitely worked for what I needed. Nothing “bad” about it, but you get what you pay for. Definitely not been upgraded in quite a few years, but again, for $75 a night, I just needed a clean bed and shower and that’s exactly what I got.

We needed a smoking and most of them are on second floor. Being a senior with back problems I needed downstairs. I called when I made a reservation and the gentleman said he would give me a certain room number that was downstairs and smoking. I was worried it wouldn't happen but sure enough when we got there he did what he said.

The Elk Inn on the outside needed updating. It looked like it was recently purchased and they were working on repairs. The room was freshly painted and clean. Our room had a refrigerator, microwave and flat screen. The bed mattress was firm. Not to my liking, but adequate. The air conitioner worked well keeping the room cool. It was very quiet to relax and sleep.
