If you need a clean, inexpensive, centrally located room on the main drag to plop down for the night, this is it. If you're looking for a nicely appointed room with decorative touches this Inn is not for you. I was in town for a high school basketball tournament so it worked fine. If you're not happy, the manager will try to find you a room more to your liking. If price is not an issue there are plenty of more expensive rooms in town.

Positives: The room came with a refrigerator and microwave. It's centrally located.

Negatives: The upholstered chair was long past needing to be reupholstered.

Helpful staff allowed me to switch rooms to one where I could get WiFi. The wood walls are quaint, rooms are well heated and very comfortable with microwave/fridge.

Positives: Clean comfortable room, all basic amenities including WiFi.

Negatives: Had to switch rooms to get the WiFi signal.

The Pinewood Inn exceeded our expectations. We just wanted a cheap night's stay during a last minute ski trip to take advantage of the first storm of the winter, but really enjoyed our stay. The decor was great: Pinewood walls and ceilings, comfortable beds, and a pleasantly interesting shape to the room. More like a ski lodge than a motor court. The staff was friendly and very helpful. When we walked into the lobby with an unopened bottle of wine, they handed us a wine opener without us even having to ask!

Positives: The staff was very friendly, the room was really cute, and the price excellent.

Negatives: The pillows were flat, but everything else was great!


Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 05 Aug 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Beds were comfortable, but bathroom was extremely tiny. Overall, room was clean, but somewhat shabby without the chic.

Positives: Easy to find and central to most everything.

Negatives: Extremely tiny bathroom, and Internet service did not work.

This should not be a 2 star, it needs so much work. Looked like they were working on it, but. It was my 23rd wedding anniversary, and romance was not there.

Positives: Bed was comfortable.

Negatives: Run down.

The hotel and room was dirty and falling down. No one ever cleaned up our room the 3 days we were there. The shower broke and didn't get fixed till the next day. The whole experience was like a bad joke.

The room was very clean, except for the heating unit on the wall; that needed a good scrubbing or replacing. Same for the bathroom floor, it was clean, but needs to be replaced.

Positives: You could see that once upon a time, this motel was charming; but it is showing its age.

Negatives: Bathroom floor needs to be replaced and the heating unit on the wall was a bit gross.

They should be shut down for how filthy the rooms were. I could not even stay the second night because the room smelled so bad. My daughter wanted to sleep in the car on the first night.

Positives: Nothing. The hotel management was very rude as well.

Negatives: They were not customer-friendly at all, and the place was a dump.

Not a nice place to stay. We were looking for a cheap room. Room smelled, there were hair all over the pillows, and heater didn't work very well. Try somewhere else.

Positives: Nothing.

This is clearly not a two star hotel. This place makes the Motel 6 look like the Hyatt. The room was dark, small, the shower door was broken, the sink was broken off of the wall, and most disturbing was the heat didn't work and it was about 15 degrees that night outside!

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Heat wasn't working.

Very comfortable and cozy. Very clean. Can't beat the price. The outside doesn't look five star, but the inside makes up for that. The staff is really nice. Its family owned so there isn't a lot of hustle and bustle. I would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Comfortable bed, microwave, fridge, and free internet.

Negatives: There is nothing that I didn't like.

First I would like to state the good things. I liked the pillow toppers. Microwave and frig was a great touch. I like the little alcove that you could set and read. Very nice! Bad things, more plugs in bathroom. Shower and tub as oppose to just shower. Walls to thin. More trash cans in rooms.

Positives: First of all I like the bed toppers, very nice touch, and I liked that my dog could come in the room for a small fee.

Negatives: The walls were to thin. Heard my neighbor at 3am.
