Nice Place to Stay
The motel was a bit older but was being revamped and made comfortable!
Price was reasonable; discounted meals at the sister Restaurant and management was eager to make us comfortable.

Clean
If clean, and not fancy, is what you're looking for, you will be fine here. Older property could use some renovation, but room was clean and had everything we needed for late arrival and early departure.

Our trip to Kentucky
Do not judge the motel by its cover. The room was delightful. Be sure to go to the truckstop across the bridge to check-in with Sam. We were confused at first. The owners are friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Refrigerator made a racket like the motor was going bad. Something was chirping in another room sounding like a smoke detector needing a battery. Won’t stay again.

A trip to days gone by.
It is under new management and they are working hard to improve the condition. It is an old two story motel and the price we paid reflected the condition. Overall its a 5 out if 10 but we were satisfied given rhe price. Truckstop,owned by them as well nearby gave a discount and should not be missed. It was a blast from the past as was the motel.

Different and clean
Different place to stay in between Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Room was clean and smelled good. Comfortable bed. Small place, owners have great customer service skills. We received a discount when eating at restaurant they own. Great food!

Great Stay
Got to the property at 6pm. Office was locked with a sign to call a local number. Instructions were left via text how to enter our room.
Very nicely renod. Comfortable and simple, everything worked as it should.
At 11:45 pm, someone was beating on different doors of the motel. 101-104. Possibly looking for a rental office.
Will definetly return. Very nice owners.

They also own and run the diner one of the best dinners we’ve had on our trip And they treat you like family. Emoji let’s see.😊♥️😊

Creepy place
My husband made a 2-night reservation at The North Star Inn. First appearance gave me creepy vibes. The bedspread had lots of stains, but the sheets were clean. There was also a mouse hole in the baseboard. There was a strange bar above the bed. Weird. The manager was not on site; he was working at a restaurant down the road. He had a phone number to call. He gave us the lock box number. He said he would give us a 15% discount since there was no breakfast offered at the site. Since it was late, I told my husband we'd stay for one night, which we did. The road noise was really bad, too.
