Obviously older motel, but nicely maintained. Staff super friendly on check in. Budget friendly alternative to more expensive chain hotels. Great for a one night stop on the road.

Small hotel in a small town by a truck stop. Didn’t look like much from outside and older inside but very clean and comfortable beds. They put us in a handicap room so lots of space. Check in easy and friendly staff. Great value for the money, and would stay again.

Very clean and conveniently arranged rooms; easy access to nearby restaurants and shopping. Doors on rooms have paint peeling and flaking, needs attention. Friendly, helpful staff. No instructions in rooms for use of Roku TV. Everything seemed to be on subscription. Budget friendly and good value.

I knew that the place would be minimal amenities but i chose because of cost + cleanliness. And it came through on both.

Clean and Comfortable

This is truly a no-frills motel but it was clean, comfortable, with super friendly staff. The room had a fridge with a separate top freezer, which we really appreciated as we always travel with a cooler of snacks and beverages. It’s conveniently located right off the interstate. Easy parking. We’d stay again should the opportunity arise.

We toured this small town of 1600 people. Lot of history here. It is an old facility but very clean. Ben kinda runs things around here and is a hard working great guy. Miss Rodger’s was very sweet and pleasant.

Go elsewhere, you're worth it

Worst stay of a 10 day road trip. Uncomfortable beds, terrible front desk. Only positive was brand new shower surround in the bathroom.

Clean, quiet and super convenient for budget minded road trippers. This is one of those classic and hard to find roadside motels where you park right outside your door. Charming small town has good local dining options, too. Bed was comfy and bath was in excellent condition. Roku TV wasn't working in my room but not an issue for me.

On the downward trend, bed was from the 90's near as I could tell, very little water flow in the sink, bathroom was very well done, only 2 lights in the room and the fixtures were obsolete.
