A clean bargain!

The cleanest motel I’ve ever been in! Although this is a very modest propriety that hasn’t been updated, it is well maintained and well attended to. Very affordable and well located. Support small businesses and independent properties!

Loud and no staff

I'm a solo traveler. At some point after I went to sleep a very loud gathering happened seemingly right outside my door. It was LOUD and when I tried to call the desk there was no answer. I felt incredibly unsafe as well as having my sleep interrupted to the point that I do not feel safe driving today

After reading all of the positive reviews we were surprised to find all these issues with the room: -what appeared be blood stains on the bed sheets -shower didn’t work properly (hot water and water pressure) - bathroom was grimy with missing tile and missing door molding -slight odor in the room It’s nice to save money but it’s worth it to pay a little extra and stay in one of the nice properties in town (Packwood House, Arbor House, Sherwood Inn)

This motel was comfortable but bare-bones. The lobby was never open; we had to ring and call for service. Bathroom had no plugs/outlets, toilet handle was cracked. Beds were comfy and clean. Seemed overpriced for what we got.

The room was dated, but it was clean and comfortable. The Staff was a young Indian lady, I don't know if she could even speak English, but she confirmed our reservation and gave me the room key. We wanted to return the key to Check Out, nobody in the locked Office, so left the key in the room.
