Drive to the door Carthage motel

The room was clean and comfortable, and not too far from Carthage center. It was a drive to the door motel on one level which is very handy. There was a lovely family restaurant within a 10 minute walk from the motel, and a mexican just over the road.

The owner was at the front desk. He was super nice and very friendly. I was on a motorcycle, he allowed me to park it in a covered area and places me in a room that was very close to that area. Rooms were clean and the bed was great. In the morning he made sure to tell me that coffee was ready and offered to let me fill a travel mug if i wanted. Would highly recommend

Overall good value for the price.

The the room was pretty basic but it was clean and had been recently renovated. The bed was comfortably firm and even had lace edged sheets. Like every old motel you could pick up a hint of old smoke smell even though the room is now non-smoking. The lady at the front desk was polite and spoke English well enough.

TV Remote didn’t work. Our host kindly offered ti move us to a different room, but we declined, sunce we had already unpacked. Perhaps there were blankets in a drawer, but the beds only had a sheet and thin bedspread. We were really cold, so we turned up the heat. Unfortunately, it was really loud!
