A beautiful small inn, very clean and well-kept! Super easy check in, no need for contact with anyone which is always nice at 11pm. They have a very cute little patio, just the right amount of nature around without feeling completely isolated. There's a down town just up the road, bjt we were passing through so I can't really speak on location. Just know we felt very safe and cozy here!

We enjoyed our stay in this simple, clean motel in my wife's hometown. The small fridge was very helpful, although a bit noisy at night. Check in by phone is unusual but worked well.

Great little place for a few nights for family gatherings. Clean and simple, only downside is the internet is horrible and u can't really watch TV because of the internet. Other than that, great it's our spot every summer for family reunions

The room was clean and well stocked. I was in Sutton for 2 days for my Step Mother's visitation and funeral.

I’ve been in the area for two month staying in Hastings and decided to try a small town hotel to save money. This Hotel definitely met my needs as a place to sleep, shower, and stay warm. Half the price of hotels in Hastings with the same qualities, plus being in a small town makes it much quieter. Sutton doesn’t have many accommodations like food or gas stations for late night returns, but Hastings isn’t too far of a jaunt west for that. To me, this place is worth the money if you need a cheaper, quiet, and comfortable place to stay.
