I recently stayed at Hammer Springs Retreat with my wife for one night, and it was an outstanding experience. The rooms were clean & spacious, providing ample room for comfort. The service was exceptional, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Easy parking made our arrival hassle-free. The included breakfast was fantastic, offering a variety of options to start our day right. I highly recommend this motel to anyone traveling to Hammer Springs. It's a great establishment with superb service that truly exceeded our expectations.

Restaurant service was odd. The guy who refers to us as "Youguys": He refers to us as "You Guys" in EVERY sentence, sometimes more. Every time he speaks he says: "You guys". I found that irritating, but otherwise excellent service from the young European(?) man. The other (of Indian descent?) was aloof. Both lads did not look smart, they had their shirts hanging out and one was wearing rolled up blue jeans, too casual for my liking. In all the service, when it came to the moment of truth, was too casual. European Waiter comes out with our steak, next minute he sets fire to it. It was too dangerous, and I felt it went too far, we certainly weren't expecting to have our hair set alight, and was lucky we moved before he ("You Guys") ruined our steak.
