The owner was kind and accommodating when we asked for things we needed. It is an old dated motel literally in the middle of nowhere. We missed that. We thought English River was a town with the Inn located there. However the beautiful view from our room was incredible, that was a big bonus. The King bed was really comfortable. Great night sleep.

Great staff

The staff were great. The room had mosquitos and there were cobwebs on a couple of the lamps. The motel is well priced and we did get good rest. An air conditioner would have been good. The rooms need an upgrade.

The good things first. It was available, it was an easy to get to location and it had a lake on the property. The bed was clean and comfortable. The bad… there was mold on the bathroom window, although the windows were closed the highway noise was loud, there was no coffee, tea or breakfast items. The owners had a bonfire in the evening and loud Hindi music. Good thing was it was quiet by 9:30

While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, the property is in much need of maintenance work. Note that there are no facilities around for food or coffee. There is a small fridge in the room, but no coffee machine, so be prepared.
