I've stayed here twice on my way out to LaCrosse. It's great to stay in a place with such beautiful surroundings. The owner has a fantastic garden in the back and the greenery around the Inn makes for a peaceful place to unwind before hitting the road again in the morning. Clean rooms, comfy beds, friendly owner!
The owners of motel are awesome people! The rooms are nice. They have a refrigerator and a microwave. The shower has good pressure and nice hot water. It's also a pet friendly motel! Would definitely recommend it to anyone and will definitely be back!
A nice, quiet, friendly, clean place to stay without getting ripped for this. Awesome owners you can chat and laugh with. I had a pleasant room upstairs with a balcony. In the back, there are a beautiful yard, a veggie garden and a little pond with the beach. It reminded me good old times when I used to go to my grandma to the countryside on vacation. A fantastic place to relax!!!
I stayed here recently and it was a very pleasant experience. Nestled in a quaint location, it's a nice property and is well kept. The room was very nice and clean and had everything one needs while staying. Not only is it affordable but the owners were very nice and accommodating. I would recommend the Akorn Inn for a place to stay in the Friendship/Adams and even the Wisconsin Dells area.
Great alternative to staying the the busy Wisconsin Dells. It was pretty basic but clean and safe. We enjoyed our stay as we passed through the Wisconsin Dells.
Overture : polski ss investigatione of pizza..resulted in a fine paid (I paid 10$ ) also as another person wrote as a review this is a complete disconnect from the downtown area and " rat race " the location was perfectly distanced far enough away from the vibrations of a hillbillified society on ' main street ' ..SKIP THE OAK CREST for a completely better experience. The Polish owners have thick accent and the quaint quietude is worth more then any hustle & bustle of ' Adams '
Cute little motel in the woods. The family that runs it were very nice. Room was nice and clean with no odors. Beautiful grounds around the building...even had a very friendly little fluffy orange kitty greet us when we were walking the grounds. Definately would stay again!
I stayed at this motel on 6/2/23-6/4/23 Great experience, clean, affordable, friendly and beautiful surroundings. Owners were very nice. Thank you. Definitely will come back.
