This is not a bad review. Just trying to be real here. They do the best they can with what they have to work with. If you’ve put off by the idea of staying in a very old “motel” in a small rural community, you should probably look elsewhere. This is my second stay in 18 months. For the price, it works for me.

This is an older property but the room was fixed up pretty well, bed was comfortable, things were clean. Nothing fancy here but was an OK budget priced overnight stay.

The area is nice and quite. The only thing I didn't like is I was there four day and they only cleaned the room the first day. Plus I never got clean towels the whole time I was there

A nice quiet stay in a small town. The owner was on site and very friendly and helpful when we had a question about the tv settings. He made coffee and was also pleasant to talk to.

Hotel is old but kept up well. Clean as can be for age. Needs coffee in rooms. But, best of all - beds are very very comfortable and pillows are fluffy and oh so comfortable. Better than most 5 star for a good nights sleep.

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Motorcycle friendly. Red Apple diner just across the street.
This place is on my list of cool road motels.
I'll go back.

Only room left on the “good” side of the place with 2 beds was a smoking room. Don’t smoke and never have - room smelled disgusting. Property/rooms are very dated.

Great to have a full-size refrigerator in the room. Property is generally worn out.

Hotel was ok for the affordable price and limited options in the area. Stayed here while visiting family nearby. The rooms are old and had a strong chemical fragrance smell when we came in. The toiletries they give you aren’t good, and the wifi was down when we got there. Beds were comfortable though, and the staff was friendly.
