I was delighted with the motel, the rooms were excellent. Having been disappointed by another hotel I the area, tried this motel and was delighted. Rene and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. They kept a lone Scotsman heading in the right direction by recommending places to see and to eat. I recommend this motel to everyone, come...

After being rudely bounced due to staff screw-up at America's Best Value Inn - 2 weeks before college commencement! - I was lucky enough to find accommodations at Rip Van Winkle. The desk lady was attentive and courteous taking my name/number and calling back a few days later as promised if rooms opened up which they did. We had 2... More

I come up at least twice a year to go fishing, and there's no place I'd rather stay. the staff treat us like family, and the grounds are excellent if you're bringing a boat. my friends and I bass fish all over the country and everyone love staying at the Rip.

I stayed here as a get away for a few days. The staff was great and the rooms very clean looks like the property owner is still doing more upgrades. I have stayed here before and i have noticed the changes. The cost of the room is much better then other places near by. What i really liked is that... More

Stayed at the Rip Van Winkle motel only because most other places were booked. The room was run down (large hair in the bed, candy wrapper on the carpet, bathroom dingy). From what I understand, the place gets some questionable characters as well. There were two positives to staying at the Rip Van Winkle Motel: the room had working air... More

Had to wear my shoes at all times. Room was hot all night. Had bugs crawl on me several times during the night. Tub... More

We got another room that was somewhat clean and comfortable but the blankets had holes and were very shabby.The room was very hot even... More

We stayed there because we were visiting our daughter at college, and barely made it through the evening before packing up (in less than ten minutes) and booking out of there FAST! We drove home 4 hrs because we could not stand the thought of staying in that place one more minute. It is gross. I'm guessing people on welfare... More
