Beautiful space, my only issue was i saw a bug in the washroom at 5 AM ..a roach to be exact, it was a single one. Otherwise, i enjoyed this space, it was very clean and location was excellent. The beds and rooms were very comfortable too.

Not kid friendly. No water in the pool, playground equipment broken. Beds were sagging in the middle. It looked clean walking in the door, but microwave was dirty and had stuff in it from a previous person. You get what you pay for.

Love that it had a fenced area for the dog and it was a very nice area to be in, one thing they should work on is cleaning the floors, i went to wipe something up on the floor and the whole napkin was brown from all the dirt muck, floors should be cleaned after every guest vists & they were not cleaned for a while

The swimming pool was closed. It was 40 degrees outside and we were a group of 6 on our Harley’s. The only reason we booked this motel was an open swimming pool was advertised!

Rooms had an extremely strong artificial perfume smell, we could tell there had been some recent updates but not the cleanest. Two blizzards left from previous guests in the freezer and food staining in the kitchen. Pillows were uncomfortable. Overall overpriced for value. Staff was friendly and area felt safe.

Skimpy at the Skimmerhorn
This place was recently renovated, but still needs a bit of help. When I checked in I was quoted $10 more than my reservation was set at. I had to show him my reservation and go through a long process of showing him the true price I booked the room at. My host did adjust the price, but he told me that the computers put all rates up due to summer pricing. If I hadn't reviewed my reservation, I would have unknowingly paid more money. I also paid an additional $10 more for a family suite thinking we would get two separate rooms for each bed like the photos showed online, but it was just a regular room with a kitchenette. If I would have known this, I would have just have booked a basic room. Rooms had newer furniture, but the beds were hard and the floors felt dirty when I took my shoes off at the entry. There was only tiny bar soap given in the bathroom and no shampoo/conditioner that you get in most motels. The bathroom door has dangerous nails on the floor jam and I caught my foot on them twice. I found a small spider in my bed and a bedbug in my mother's bed. No vending machine, no pool, no ice unless you inquire about it and then you get just a small amount in a tiny Ziploc bag and then told that you should have had a bag to receive it. The room has a small slope to get in and out to the parking lot which is definitely a tripping zone if a person is not paying attention. We also saw people smoking on the balconies and was surprised by this. I wouldn't stay here again.
