When i arrived the owner was literally working on the motel so that is why I left the review at 4 stars.... I am not out to lower anyone's ratings and truly feel my experience was isolated and possibly even a mistake considering the owner checked the room to "make sure she cleaned it" when he unlocked it. Potentially "she" just forgot the bathroom. I loved the location and the room would have been perfect except the cleanliness was SEVERELY lacking in the bathroom especially. The originally white baseboards were covered with hair and dirt (definitely overlooked for at least months). The door had huge brown smudges all over it (dramatically so on the backside). There was still a towel from the previous guest slung over the shower rod. The floor towel was clearly used and just rehung for me (debris and a foot imprint on it). The toilet seat was sticky (gross, gross, gross). The minifridge has mold all over the gasket and the pillowcases looked clean but had about eight different lengths and colors of hair all over them.
The sheets were DEFINITELY clean/hair free. The bed was comfortable and the price is very fair. The floor seemed clean. As someone who only stays in independently owned lodging, I never expect amenities or even soap but ALWAYS would like to expect cleanliness and only remember being deprived of it once before in my travels.
I am certain going forward this place will be better. The owner seemed very committed and driven to develop his motel business in addition to his other full time job of ranching. I believe it will be easy to get someone to deep clean the bathroom(s). Please don't let this review deter you from staying here as, like I said, I do believe this is just a matter of pointing out an opportunity for...
Read moreGoodness, I hardly know where to start. Stopped at Halsey to overnight at The Frontier Inn. We actually love well tended vintage motor courts. This was not well tended. Our room smelled really bad upon opening the door. An omen not to enter. The beds were made with the most worn looking linens and lumpy. No surface had been cleaned in some time. The bathroom counter and sink had been given a hasty swipe the toilet was dirty and the shower was indescribably filthy. Hair, lots of it, up the side if the tub and on the edge. Floor was dirty in the bathroom and the carpet was very dirty too. I spent a good part of our evening cleaning just so we could stay. If there had been another place to stay or a town nearby we...
Read moreIf you are looking for a great place to stay while exploring the Sandhills, this is it. I've stayed in dozens of hotels on hunting/fishing trips. The Redwood ranks right up there with the best of them. What sets it apart is its great location and wonderful owner. Troy went out of his way to point me in the direction of birds and was very helpful during my stay. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The water was hot with great pressure. There are plenty of TV channels if you want to watch them. I will definitely be staying here again...
