The property is pet friendly, our room was clean and parking was fine. My interactions with the staff were great.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms need to be more clean and staff can be a tiny bit more friendly.
Devin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property has a nice gazebo for outside seating. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Other than that this facility needs a lot of TLC and is in poor technical shape.

Super quiet. Will stay here again
Sam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was delightful! We called and asked if we could come in a day early since our drive was going quicker than expected. They were more than accommodating and welcomed us! Nice private entrances with a carport! The property is older but that is part of the charm and well kept! Next time we are in the area we will be visiting again! Thank you so much!

Craig, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very accomodating owners, carport, coffeemaker, microwave, mini fridge. No fan in bathroom. Bedding could be updated to really make it comfortable.

Cute Motel

Lovely little spot. Very quiet and a bit hidden. Check in was very quick and the stay was nice. We were just in town for the night, and it was a perfect fit.
Bethany, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean, and the adjacent parking space was convenient. The bathroom could use an update. It is very small. The road noise was a negative.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is kind of old school, and adorable. Neat as a pin, and way quieter than a regular hotel.
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and comfortable. We had the memorable experience that a transformer blew and burst into flames on a telephone pole nearby. The electricity went out and there was no running water. Thankfully the power came back on at 1 am. Interesting experience but we were safe and warm!

Liked the old wood panelling rooms. Comfortable beg. Pool had very short hours and was uninviting.
Robert, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

There was dust everywhere. Mold in the tub and hair on the floors.
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, good. Place is older and new owners who are updating.
Debra, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bed was terrible, AC was unbearably loud, sink faucets wouldn't turn off, coffee tasted like water, very cold sterile room with poor mattresses. Very uncomfortable stay.

4/10 Fair

We had trouble finding the place as the sign out front was so faded it was unreadable. The front desk was not manned but the owner was there quickly. They put us in one room but had to switch us when someone else started moving into our unit. We were able to have covered parking with our unit. The room was very dark with limited lighting. The bathroom was very small but if you wanted to rest your head against the wall while using the toilet, you could the sink had come off the wall but had been repaired. Floor was dirty but the shower had decent pressure and hot temperatures. Overall, I would not stay here again.

Andrea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great experience at Whispering Winds! The staff was super friendly and the check in process was quick. This is a very cute little roadside motel - the rooms are more like tiny bungalows than a hotel room. Everything was clean and well cared for. The whole place is a little dated but honestly, that really added to the charm for us. Our only complaint (and it's a small one) is that the walls are paper thin, so you can here everything going on outside very clearly. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a budget friendly, cute little spot!
