Wonderful old fashioned motel!

This little motel was perfect for us! It's well-kept, clean, and comfortable. It had all the amenities (and more!) of a modern hotel room, but with a quaint, mid-century charm that we love! We will definitely stay again.

It’s a very old motel with few luxuries but it was adequate for our needs. The staff was extremely nice & accommodating. The bed was comfortable. The shower looked newly renovated. There was a full size refrigerator & microwave & toaster. The coffee maker wasn’t very good.

Hotels.com handling issue.

The place flooded Unfortunately they didn't share that, the smell of the room was horrible couldn't breathe so we left after speaking to hotels.com which is handling the situation. I don't care to share pictures as I hope the motel will recover but 200.00 a night plus 25 buck cleaning fee is ridiculous. Sorry but they need to rip out the carpet, cabinets and take care of ants before opening.
