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

Unique "touchless" checkin. Dated room, but clean and quiet. Everything worked, including coffee machine.

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.

Okay so we do a lot of traveling and I like to use the small mom and pop places to help them survive a little easier. The only thing I can say about this place is even though it was about 70 dollars a night it was still too much. We had a late check in due to early morning work and travel afterwards. I called earlier to get a room number and code so I didn’t have to do it later since there was nobody at the desk ever. Contactless check in is not working as far as I can tell. So we get there after a long day of work and travel and as all we want to do is rest and the room is filthy. Apparently they don’t check the rooms to see if they are clean. I was in the room for about 20 minutes and my allergies wouldn’t let me get comfortable. We called the office and they switched us to a too another room which was almost as dirty, it did smell like a urinal cake but not mold so we stayed for 2of the three nights. Moral of the story is you should NOT stay here if you have any standards at all. Totally outdated, unclean and disgusting. If it wasn’t the 4th of July we would have moved to a different motel it was that bad.

All right, unfortunately it’s in a excellent area, but I feel almost bad saying anything negative because I was trying to support small business, but it needs to be cleaned. Updated for sure.

Reasonably priced and even though they’re offsite, the staff was very responsive. The room was nice and the bed was quite comfortable. Could have used a vacuuming but overall it was a pleasant stay.
