What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 587 guest reviews
Slackwater Inn earns consistent praise for its cleanliness, cozy atmosphere, and convenient location, with several guests highlighting the comfortable beds and thoughtful renovations of this updated motor lodge. The most recurring criticism is pricing — multiple reviewers feel rates run high for the room size, a dynamic partly attributed to local demand — and some guests noted road noise and the absence of on-site staff. Overall, sentiment is strongly positive, with several guests explicitly stating they would return.
