Funky fifties , friendly and frugal place to sleep

I was visiting a friend who lives 15 minutes away so this place was perfect for the time Ispent in the room. It was a good value and right off the coastal highway.

Cute little vintage motel for overnight stay. Quiet,clean and cozy. Not much to do in the area but we knew that before we booked which is why we chose it for the night.

I did not like the concrete business right next door to the property. The cement trucks were very noisy and unsightly and took away any ambiance this little hotel offers. The location is convenient and the restaurant down the road (Tropical Trader Shrimp Co.) has the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. The hotel itself was clean, cute and comfy!

Overall this is a cute, clean and convenient motel. Downsides are two things: First it's next to a commercial cement plant that is noisy in the morning. Second there are numerous drywall repair patches that were not even sanded before painting, baseboard and trim that is unfinished, tilework in the bathroom that is really bad and just an overall feeling of poor remodeling that appears the owners believed was "good enough". I would likely stay in Crawfordville next time unless their other rooms are in better condition.
