The motel was clean and comfortable and after 10pm was quiet. We had coffee, tea, orange juice, cereal, hardboiled eggs, toast and more for breakfast. There was a wet area near the refrigerator though. Check in and check out were fast and straightforward.

Wow, nice old history type rooms, really neat. Comfy & good supplies. Basic continental breakfast, but had French toast too. Was super clean. Note front desk has limited hours.

Our room was clean and our check in person was very nice and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the motel was quiet. Some furnishings were a bit shabby and the bathroom sink drain had no plug - don’t drop your toothbrush or an earring.

A great value.
I enjoyed my stay at this nice family owned hotel, very spacious room with parking right outside my door, and quiet surroundings.
Only wished the ice machine was working when I was there.

Room was ok for a night rest stop. Check-in staff was friendly and professional. Ladies running the morning breakfast were rude and lazy.

Much better than I expected 👍
I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the room. The facility is obviously older but is in remarkable condition and you can see that the roof was just replaced. The room was very clean and nice. My only issue was the bed that was somewhere between plywood and concrete hard, but managed to get a decent night's sleep.

Sufficient for one quick night stay. It’s a basic older place but met our needs. Breakfast was sufficient.

Good value for money
Stayed for 3 nights. Big room and reasonably comfortable. Bathroom was small and could be a bit cleaner. Friendly staff. The motel is just out of town but we did not mind. Overall good value for money

It would have been softer to sleep on the floor. Beware of the low hanging rack. My husband almost took an eye out. No plug for the tub and the coffee maker was a joke. It was really hot when we first checked in, but the AC did work well once it was turned on. Not bad for a last resort place to sleep, but definitely not comfortable and not worth the money.

The owners father insisted that I pay in full up front even though Expedia had my card details. Breakfast was meant to be included but the office remained locked up the following morning. The following day my credit card was processed for the nights stay along with bank fees. I have called Expedia twice and 2 weeks later no refund. I will NEVER use Expedia again.
