We did not have any maid service, said it was still due to covid. The place could use upgrades, but the view was beautiful. It made up for the room, it's wasn't the nicest place I've stayed but it was OK.

Very private. Comfortable beds, but flat pillows. Nice kitchenette, but no coffee. Some fireworks or gunshots at one point was a bit scary, but overall good stay.

I absolutely loved sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee while enjoying the riverview. Staff was friendly and helpful. I really liked that our suite had a wall separating the bedroom from the living room/kitchen, which gave it a more spacious feel. We also enjoyed the fireplace inside the living room which we used every day.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Carr’s. I kinda gambled and made this reservation based on the reviews and I was not disappointed. This is an older motel that has been freshly painted and new flooring installed. We enjoyed listening to the creek from our balcony. This is a no frills motel that is quaint, clean and off the beaten path. In terms of walking distance to town, I would not advise it. There is a very steep hill going into the property that makes walking to town almost impossible. We would easily stay here again.
