The staff was very friendly and efficient with a quick and easy check-in. I have read many of the reviews. For the people complaining, I am uncertain what guests were expecting for such a reasonable rate right in the middle of the historical area. The accommodations were nice with a comfortable bed, nice shower, working refrigerator, simple breakfast, and nice TV. The pool was relaxing and the area was quiet enough for a good night's rest. We were able to take a nice walk to get into the center of town to enjoy history, food, and shopping. For a family on a budget, this place worked out just fine.

Hard as a rock chair

My stay at the motel was fine except the single chair in the room was child size and was as hard as a rock to sit on. I mentioned this condition to the motel staff and they would see that the chair would get replaced.

The pool had clean water and was refreshing. Our room was acceptable. We realized that our bathroom window(ground floor and big enough for a person to get through) had no working latch and was open slightly. Too late to report for office to be open. However, reported in am. Outside of it, lots of cigarette butts and little snippets of trash on ground. Not a clean environment. Provided some packaged muffins and good coffee in am. Felt safe here and walked to Crepe Cottage for breakfast.

This is a low quality motel, but one should not be surprised given the price and reviews. If you go in with the proper expectations, you shouldn't be too disappointed. The location can't be beat. In the evening we walked across the street to the spot where Lincoln gave his famous address as fireflies danced around us. In the morning we walked a block or so further and stood at the Angle and looked across the fields where Pickett's charge ended the battle (and countless lives). My children enjoyed the pool on a day that broke 100 degrees. They also enjoyed the ease to nearby eateries and ice cream shops. To repeat, though, the room was low quality: run down and minimally cleaned. It smelled of stale cigerettes (despite it's non smoking status). I’ve never complained about a mattress until today as these were like cardboard wrapped in crunchy plastic. The staff were kind and the other guests friendly. I would likely visit again if only here for an evening. I would just spend as little time possible in the room and ignore the ghost stories told by the passing tour guides.

This is value for the money. Older? Yes. A bit rough around the edges? Yes. But location here is great, within walking distance along the main drag. Fancy? Certainly not but the rooms were clean, the water hot when needed, the AC was perfect, the pool was clean as well. The staff, top marks for working with what they have. And that by no means is meant as an insult. Book a room at this old school motel, save some dollars, enjoy your stay.

Vintage Motel Next to National Cemetery where Abe

This Vintage property is constantly upgrading. I choose it because of location and because it is a 1950's vintage motel. They have recently painted and upgraded inside and out. There are a few cosmetic upgrades needed: needs indoor lock, weather stripping on the threshold.

My kiddo enjoyed the pool a ton. I think my only two complaints were the bed being uncomfortable to my liking, and ants. All the recent rain had driven ants into the room. We had a good stay otherwise and would stay again.
