It's refreshing to be at a place that really appreciates you. They went out of their way for me. Great people! They are making some nice improvements too!
The motel is an older style road side motel. My room was clean with a good mattress. The bathroom had tub/ shower combination. It lacked counter space but the main room had a big mirror which made for an easy area for dressing. The TV worked fine. It had a good, clean mattress and bedding. It also had a mini fridge and microwave. We left before the coffee/ breakfast bar was ready. Overall great room for the price!
Great awsome staff. Very clean freshly appounted room. A little out of town and breakfast was meager but the management was very very aswome friendly and helpfull.
When she checky husband and I in she was nice and the rooms was clean and neat. It's was so quiet and the bed was comfortable we will come back again
This little hotel was just perfect for 2 nights and the kitchen in the basement commons area made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend this to any of you looking for a night
Great stay, everything was good, friendly staff, great price.
Absolutely loved this place. Pet and Trucker friendly. Newly remodeled non-smoking rooms.. decorated with a personal style not your typical Motel furniture! We stayed in a room that supported America! Very friendly staff very accommodating.
Very nice motel. Price was good and the room was clean. Will stay there again.
Was in town on business for a few days, so I stayed here a couple of nights. The Pines Motel is obviously an older establishment, but it has had some rennovations. It is also clean and the prices are fair. Staff is also friendly. I stayed in a different room each night and both rooms had different decor, which was cool. Beds and pillows are pretty comfortable. No problems sleeping. There is a free continental breakfast but doesn't start until 7 AM when the office opens, wish it started at 6 AM like most places since my work starts at 7.
To start off the outside can be offputting. Definitely older decor and style and could use a touch up here and there. However, the staff were amazingly helpful and extremely nice and pleasant. The rooms were really nice, clean, and pest free. Beds were comfortable, rooms were reasonably priced, and had a wonderful stay. If you are in the area I highly recommend to stay here.
