Nice simple no frills hotel.

Nice simple no frills hotel. Slow response to checking in, towel replacements and check in. If you need a clean non-expensive alternative to most hotels near the Ark Encounter, this fits. Hotel is for a place to sleep, shower only. No restaurants right by the hotel. Lots of restaurants within a 10 minute drive. Call Hotel a couple of hours before check in to receive a text message with door code and WiFi password. No office at the hotel location.

It was ok. Floor was wet and didn't have anything to wipe up. Room was clean but needed things updated or finished. Very old microwave and no coffee pot. AC was cold so that was good.

Ok, so I have stayed here before and I would say that it’s gone downhill a bit. When I opened the room, it smelled like old fish. Property was a bit run down and worn, but for the price, I’d give it a C+. The shower and bathtub were on point!

I wish I could give this place zero stars. There was a strange woman wandering around the parking lot who appeared to be on drugs. The code sent to me wouldn’t open the door. Finally got the right code and got in. The room had not been touched. There were towels on the floor. There was trash in the room. The icing on the cake was there was blood on the sheets. When I called the motel they wanted me to go check another room to “see if it was cleaned”. He also told me it wasn’t his fault what people did in the room and was very rude. Didn’t even refund my money for the night. I wouldn’t stay here for a thousand dollars. Stay elsewhere!!!

No staff to request the removal of garbage. Walls with plaster need to be panted. Lots of flys. Floor needs cleaning. Location is very good. Beds were comfortable. Very quiet. Very run down. No coffee on premises. Need coffee maker in room. Need instructions for use of shower.

The owner was very friendly. There have been some recent upgrades, such as the AC unit, which was very nice. For the price, I feel like its a fair room. It was not the cleanest room I've stayed, but not the dirtiest either. As other reviews have stated, there was a lot of moisture in the room, more than outside even. I assume that was the reason for the strong mildew smell. All together, it was okay.

Couldn’t believe it got a 10 on your reading. No coffee or machine. No ice machine. Room lights burned out. Ask for a light bulb twice but was never delivered. Was advised to go to their restaurant. A half mile away if we wanted coffee or ice. Wasn’t sure they would bring me or replace lights twice, but never happened. clean but still a work in progress. Over priced.

Creepy place

My husband made a 2-night reservation at The North Star Inn. First appearance gave me creepy vibes. The bedspread had lots of stains, but the sheets were clean. There was also a mouse hole in the baseboard. There was a strange bar above the bed. Weird. The manager was not on site; he was working at a restaurant down the road. He had a phone number to call. He gave us the lock box number. He said he would give us a 15% discount since there was no breakfast offered at the site. Since it was late, I told my husband we'd stay for one night, which we did. The road noise was really bad, too.

Clean

If clean, and not fancy, is what you're looking for, you will be fine here. Older property could use some renovation, but room was clean and had everything we needed for late arrival and early departure.

The motel room was clean and had a well kept bathroom and kitchenette, as well as small working freezer and fridge. Also dog friendly was a big plus. Only complaints would be we forgot shampoo and their were no small courtesy shampoo or soap that are usually in motels, and there were no usb plugs, but other than that was a good value.

Do not judge the motel by its cover. The room was delightful. Be sure to go to the truckstop across the bridge to check-in with Sam. We were confused at first. The owners are friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
