Old Style Motel - Good Value

Small older motel but in excellent condition. No staff onsite, everything is handled online or by phone. The phone number is posted on a door near the corner. Everything worked properly and the room was reasonably clean. The only downside is the room was kind of small, the bathroom was tiny and the shower stall felt like a coffin, but for the room rate, it’s a pretty good value.

⭐️⭐️

This is a contact free motel. I never received the email to check in, so I called the phone number listed. I was able to obtain the door code. The roooms are old and dated. The bathroom was very small and creepy. The water constantly ran. The shower was gross and creeepy as well. There’s no privacy-the shades don’t close all the way and the sticker on the windows doesn’t give full privacy.

Filthy and dated!

Thank God the towels and sheets were seemingly clean that's the only nice thing I'll say... This was hands down the worst place I've stayed traveling. This room wasn't worth the money a night. The carpet wasn't even vacuumed and was discussing. The bathroom floor was even worse. The shower walls were completely water damaged and moldy. Wallpaper coming off the walls and what looked like a fourth grade wood project for shelves. The coffee maker was covered in mold! The second day I was there trying to sleep, (working nights) I was woken up to power tools at the front door. When I saw up in bed I noticed voices and the doorknob wiggling. When I opened the door two men were attempting to take the door off! When I asked what was going on they said that the room was supposed to be serviced and they didn't know anyone was in there. When the motel girl showed up and apologized and said again they didn't know anyone was in the room. I had then slammed the door trying to understand what had happened and wondered what records they keep of the guests and what rooms are occupied. The rooms are extremely dated and poor lighting attributed to a miserable stay. If anyone reading this can take a suggestion quite literally any other place will be better to stay than this hole.

Outside the property was very clean, our room which was number 10 was not so clean, there was a bunch of dirt and toenails on the side of the bed stand which look like it hadn't been vacuumed in many moons behind the refrigerator there was food and dust and dirt which was also not vacuumed, there was dead bugs inside the bathroom and dead flies all along the window sill They definitely have to do a way better job on their housekeeping, I personally sprayed bed bug spray with all the sheets off and disinfected the whole room with a can of Lysol

Perfect for a quick nights stay while passing through. Bed was clean and comfy. The carpet was pretty gross, should definitely be replaced but overall a decent cheap motel.

The smell in the room is caustic from their cleaning supplies I guess. I couldn’t even stay in the room for an hour. I started getting sick and headachy. I checked out and found a different hotel at 11 o’clock at night. Remains to be seen whether I will be refunded

LOVE this little motel.

ADORABLE motel. Phone check-in. You get a code for your room door keypad: no key. Wifi, fridge, microwave, coffee service. Extremely safe and quiet area. Places to eat, to get a drink, or to walk at a park are literally ONE block away which is awesome. I slept with my windows open. Darling decor. Great restaurant called The Dewdrop is extremely close by which rocked. It's a tiny but VERY CLEAN motor in where you park right at your room's door. The housekeeping staff was terrific! This was a perfect stopping point for me on my long road trip, and I had a wonderful time. I will be back! PS: Rooms are NOT huge. I traveled alone; if I'd had a friend along, it might have been a skitch cramped.

It was an inexpensive room so expectations weren’t unreasonably high but the bathroom drains were so slow that you couldn’t shower, and carpet was soaked next to the AC unit. Area was nice and walkable.
