Lovely remodeled large well-appointed clean rooms, bike-friendly. Located near a loud intersection and the A/C was fairly loud, but otherwise no complaints. Very simple continental breakfast. Comfy beds! Great value. I'd stay there again.

The motel is right off the highway so is easy to get to, but some road noise, and especially train horns from the nearby crossing, were increbibly loud. The room was clean and everything was in good shape. Very basic breakfast options, but the coffee was fresh and good.

As advertised. Drip coffee was actually drinkable compared to many places that provide coffee. Definitely would stay again. Only upgrade would be for them to have a hot tub!

Relatively clean. Convenient parking and remote no contact check-in. Breakfast was simple grab-and-go items, which suited us just fine. We got in late and left early so can't accurately judge much.

Very "do it yourself" kind of place, which was fine. Breakfast was a little bit weak, but that was not a huge factor for me.

The room was ready for us and the check in process was a piece of cake. I loved the virtual check in. The bathroom door didn't quite close all the way and the shower faucet kept dripping, but other than that the stay was great. I'd come back again.

The room was very clean, the beds and pillows were great and the breakfast area had a great selection and was very clean. Heads up though—the train is VERY close and VERY loud!! If that won’t bother you then it’s a great place to stay. But you will hear it at night.

A very pleasant surprise is my reaction to the Balanced Rock Inn. Property is clean and the staff is very kind. The Inn has a hostel feel to it, which I liked. The rooms are clean and accomodating with a very nice updated bathroom and amenities. The only slight issue is the bedding that is all polyester. I broght my sleeping bag and my own pillows as a regular precaution when I travel and those came in handy. Cotton sheets would be a plus but understand the reasoning behind polyester for durability. I would gladly recomend this place to stay!

Room was in good condition and check in at night was excellent. We didn’t check in at the front desk we were given text message on how to check in. The text message has the name of the motel, room number, door code and the WiFi password. The only complaint I had was the smell of cigarettes it was hard to get a full nights sleep.
