Jr. Makes sure that all his guess are well taken care. And the private bar is a bonus to a person such as myself whom likes a small or no crowd at all. Rooms very clean and it's cozy inside the space that one will be relaxing....

I took a last minute planned ride up north pa and my 1st choice of hotel (which had a pool) was booked. So I just search Google map and the top choice on the list was Rest Stop 6 inn. And BOY I’m glad I stayed there. JR was the best owner, desk clerk, cook, bartender, housekeeper rapped all in one person. Room was great, very clean, well maintained and the room/bathroom was well cared for. Heck the towels and bed linens weren’t the norm color white. It made me feel like being at home than a hotel stay. Truly a diamond in the rough!

JR, the owner/operator, is an amazing man and very helpful. I would rate this place 5 stars if it were in a better locale and had more to offer, such as a full restaurant or being on the water. It is 5 stars for a 'roadside motel'. If you visit, please tell JR that Zach sent ya and I say thanks from wherever I am...

Overall, I had a nice time staying here! Our room was very spacious, quiet, and comfortable. The owner JR was super nice and didn’t mind showing us around our room! If you are looking for a homey and cheap place to stay, I would recommend this place!

If you love hiking and exploring but don't want to sleep in a flooded tent then this is your place! Rooms were clean and comfortable. JR was an Amazing host and when he says he's going to take care of you he really does. He provides tons of info for the area and seemed to genuinely love it. There was a fire ring to unwind and relax by a fire (the best part of camping) but super soft comfy (and dry!) beds with a full bathroom all to yourself!

I can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay. From the minute we got there our time was great. JR greeted us and showed us to our room. It was immaculate and very cozy. I felt very much at home. He asked us before we even got out of our vehicle if we had eaten. The price is great, the owner made me feel like we had been friends previously, and I will definitely plan a trip and stay there again just for a getaway for my own indulgence. Thank you JR.
