Great little motel. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Building is old, but well maintained and very clean. Area is quiet and felt very safe. Not many grills or amenities, but was just what I was looking for.

Good place to spend the night
Not the place you wanna stay at if you gonna stay a few days. There is no WiFi it’s just a place to sleep if you need to rest for the night. Owner was friendly. Felt safe going to sleep there and the bed was comfortable

Despite the motel's age, our stay was okay. The clean, freshly painted room, dusted surfaces, and a comfortable bed with cleaned linens created a surprising rest. Overall, property was well-maintained. The only unexpected aspect was conducting business outside- through a window – a minor inconvenience, easily overlooked given the overall positive experience.

Didn’t have accessible rooms. Bathroom just had rail near toilet. Tub n shower none. N the bed positioned blocked my wheelchair from entering bathroom. Staff tried but didn’t help much. Not ideal place for disabled travelers.

It was clean and well managed. They even returned my charger that I left. It is not posh, but it was a great value for the money.

Great and affordable stay!
What a great experience! My family and I stayed here for an affordable hotel to stay while vending at a 3 day festival downtown. This was the perfect choice! The gentleman that runs the hotel stayed up for our very late check in and was very courteous and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable, no frills, but just what we needed. Felt safe and the place was quiet at night. Excellent service!! Would definitely stay here again!!

Good for the money
owneri believe puts genuine care into what he does. That said, the area isn't very good which means unsavory characters. I had one guy try to enter my vehicle while I was in it! One complaint I read about was small towels, and that's very true.

Would someone please enlighten me as to why this property gets such excellent reviews on Expedia? It’s old & shabby & the front desk people weren’t particularly friendly - had to conduct business thru a window while standing in the cold wind. Room is adequate but also old & shabby - only thing modern about it is the door lock. Plugs in room are all loose & likely a fire hazard. Haven’t used shower yet, so don’t know about hot water availability, but towels are thin. Not impressed & I’m now worried about the next couple bookings I’ve made based on Expedia reviews!
