I recently stayed at this charming boutique motel, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The rooms were beautifully remodeled and quite comfortable, but I did notice some quirks, like the heating issues and a slightly awkward bathroom setup. The on-site dining offered delicious options, especially the crepes, and it was a joy to spend time in the outdoor spaces. The value for what I paid was very decent, but those heating concerns definitely put a bit of a damper on my stay.

This boutique motel has been beautifully remodeled and offers a modern yet cozy feel. The kitchenette in our room was perfectly stocked, allowing us to enjoy delicious crepes from the hotel's trendy bar/restaurant. It's also great that the venue promotes local partnerships. However, it's worth mentioning that there's no pool and the parking could be a bit cramped during busy hours.

Hotel Rapids is a lovely drive-up hotel that offers a comfortable stay for travelers, especially those with pets. The rooms are clean, modern, and well-appointed, but the lack of certain amenities like a pool might disappoint some guests. The on-site bar and restaurant with delicious crepes adds to the charm, though the location can be a bit tricky to find. Overall, I found great value for my stay, especially after the long drive.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with clean and nicely decorated rooms, and a great bathroom that featured a kitchenette. The staff were really friendly, but I found breakfast to be a bit disappointing since it was limited to crepes and I only received two vouchers for three guests. Overall, it was a good stop during my road trip, but the breakfast experience could use some improvement.

My stay at this hotel was mixed. I found some aspects enjoyable, like the unique design and the quality of the breakfast. However, I was quite disappointed with the lack of cleanliness and the poor staffing that detracted from my overall experience. The value for money didn’t really feel justified given my experiences with the service and the dining.

I had a mixed experience at this motel during my business trip. The rooms are nicely remodeled and clean, but unfortunately, the noise from neighboring rooms was a big downside. The breakfast setup was a bit chaotic, which took away from the stay. While it had a modern feel, value for the price paid felt lacking due to the disturbances and service issues.

Breakfast was frustrating; we waited a long time, and the limited menu featuring mainly crepes didn’t work well for our group. The vouchers were nice, but the overall experience fell short.

I was pleasantly surprised by this motel! It's been updated beautifully, maintaining a bit of its retro vibe. The craft cocktail bar and unique crepes available for breakfast were standout features. However, the heating situation needs some improvement, as it was a bit cold in the bathroom during my stay. Overall, it's a charming spot with lovely amenities and it offers great value for the price.

I stayed at this retro motel for one night on a business trip and found it had a lot of charm from its recent remodel. The room was clean and had a modern design, making it comfortable for my needs. However, the noise levels were pretty high, and the price felt a bit steep for what I received. Overall, it’s cute and nearly perfect, but the thin walls and smoking policy detracted from the experience.
