Disliked: Amenities
This is not a bad review. Just trying to be real here. They do the best they can with what they have to work with. If you’ve put off by the idea of staying in a very old “motel” in a small rural community, you should probably look elsewhere. This is my second stay in 18 months. For the price, it works for me.

Don't judge by the outside

I was regretting my decision to book this room when I saw the outside of the motel. It is quite old. I was relieved when the room was nice and comfortable and clean. The walls had been painted, the t.v. was nice and there was a fridge with freezer and a microwave. The shower was warm and with decent pressure. Beds were fine.

OK place to stay

This is an older property but the room was fixed up pretty well, bed was comfortable, things were clean. Nothing fancy here but was an OK budget priced overnight stay.

The area is nice and quite. The only thing I didn't like is I was there four day and they only cleaned the room the first day. Plus I never got clean towels the whole time I was there

A nice quiet stay in a small town. The owner was on site and very friendly and helpful when we had a question about the tv settings. He made coffee and was also pleasant to talk to.

Hotel is old but kept up well. Clean as can be for age. Needs coffee in rooms. But, best of all - beds are very very comfortable and pillows are fluffy and oh so comfortable. Better than most 5 star for a good nights sleep.

Liked: Staff & service
Hotel was ok for the affordable price and limited options in the area. Stayed here while visiting family nearby. The rooms are old and had a strong chemical fragrance smell when we came in. The toiletries they give you aren’t good, and the wifi was down when we got there. Beds were comfortable though, and the staff was friendly.
