The Deitzel is a quaint old-fashioned motel, with cute fixtures one no longer finds, like the porcelain gas wall heaters and built-in chest of drawers. However, it is not upscale, so if you require such touches, this is not the place for you. One must appreciate vintage preservation to enjoy this stay. We felt comfortable once we got the AC to stay on. (Turn it off the auto setting). The beds were a little too soft for our liking, but others may enjoy how pillowy they are. Late night check in staff was pleasant and gave good suggestions for places to eat. We enjoyed looking out at deer in the early morning through the gorgeous windows that make up pretty much the entire back wall. Overall, the room served its purpose, with a little retro charm added in.

Was fine-clean, friendly staff at check in, until you come in at 9:20 and while discuss the amazing meal you had the room next door yells “shut the f*** up b*****s” through the door that separates the two room. Definitely do not feel comfortable and will not be returning.

Staff was very friendly and explained that they are short staffed and informed us of the situation. This allowed our expectations to be realistic and everything was great. We just had to go pick up freash towels in the office. This is an old school motel so..knowkknow that.

The room we stayed in was clean and everything worked. The room was falling into disrepair, though. The door to bathroom had a laminate that was badly damaged, the beds creaked quite a lot, and there was a some broken drywall in the bathroom window. The property is affordable, convenient, safe, and quiet and we will likely stay there again but wish the room was in better condition.
