Since you can't book online, I called the motel directly. Their "front" rooms were all booked and all they had left were the back rooms. Based on the price (around $80/night), I had no reason to assume these rooms would be less favorable than the front. I was wrong.

The back rooms are extremely old, very dingy and tiny. The ceilings are no higher than 7 ft and there was a faint moldy smell. Since we were visiting on family business and hotel options in Cheshire and the surrounding towns are limited, we sucked it up for 2 nights. The second night, however, we had a room ful of drunk guys next to us and it sounded like they were literally bouncing off the walls. One call to the front desk brought the cops to their room and then eviction. The hotel handled everything quickly and professionally.

I'm guessing the front rooms are nicer -- I had been told that the place was recently renovated, so that must be where the renovations were. Don't take a room in the rear if it's offered.

The room was clean and roomy. The bed was comfortable and it's a very well maintained property. It is also very well lite and as a single traveler felt safe on the property.

I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and comfortable with an interesting decor. The place is well maintained and the owners friendly and accomodating. I'd happily stay there again.
