Welcome to Walter's Lodge & Suites

They have been really great here the whole time that we have stayed, which has been about a month now since our place burned down anyhow. Rooms are clean, atmosphere is friendly, evenings are quite peaceful, & there is a nice yard like setting including a small pond with fish in it.

I love this place!!!!! When me and my family stay. We stay for a week at a time. Their rates are very reasonable! I had some issues with my room and she drove to storage to get a new microwave for me. Always have been really friendly and helpful. Always answers. Works hard. Sarah is always out and about making improvements on the place!

A friend recommended I stay here as I like to avoid the hassle of finding a comfortable safe place to stay in such a small town and I loved it! The room smelt super good and I felt so welcomed on arrival. They are such kind people and give a great place to stay for such a good value! I will recommend this place to all my friends coming to this small town not only for its safety but for its central location right in the middle of the town to enjoy all the local attractions and events!

Very clean and cozy! Has a homey feel you don’t get from large chain hotels and you can tell how deeply they clean and maintain the whole place itself. I felt so safe sleeping soundly there with the laundry so close by and open 24/7 it was a huge plus!

Great place especially for the price! A huge step up from motels costing the same or more. Sarah the woman running the inn and the attached 24hr laundry is super helpful and kind. Always our choice when in this area.

Great place to stay. Very clean. New owners as of the beginning of 2020 and it shows. They really fixed this place up. Clean sheets and towels and I slept like a baby. The room did not smell and everything worked in the room. Nice hot shower in the morning and I booked a room in 2 weeks when I have to pass back this way.
