Considering the small town location, the Bluebird was a satisfactory experience. Clean and comfortable, yet spartanly appointed, our room had a large desk, a small refridgerator, and a coffee maker. They seem to be renovating many of their rooms which gave the appearance they were closed, leading to some confusion checking in.

I chose this motel over another one nearby because it has a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. It exceeded my expectations! The lady at the front desk was kind, funny, and helpful. The room was very clean and spacious. The shower was hot and had plenty of water pressure, which is not always the case at hotels and motels. The bed was very comfortable. I will be coming back to the area on business and will definitely stay here again.
