Very good

The manager was friendly and hospitable. Gave us bottled water after we signed in and a few snacks.
Hotel was within reasonable driving distance to down town.
Will stay there again.
‘Vintage’ without trying too hard.
No frills. Simple sleep and lodging.
Loved the eclectic room furnishings and decor.
This place is exactly what it looks like from the outside.
A portal back to simpler times. Enjoy your stay.

Spartan but clean. Very comfortable bed. Best price in town
It looks a little rough on the outside, but the room is really comfortable. The bed is awesome, much better than you expect from a motel. Wifi works great. And the couple who run it are very sweet.

Liked: Staff & service
Friendly staff, felt welcomed on checkin. Room was dominated by a king sized bed which, while comfortable with new, clean bedding, left very little space to move around let alone do yoga. New tiles in bathroom but the floor and lower walls throughout were horribly dirty. Door had a broken security lock. Other hotel guests/residents were noisy. There was a lot of coming and going in the night as well as highway noise and sirens. Property has rather unkempt exterior surroundings and though the sign loudly proclaims Restaurant it is disappointingly closed. Bananas and water were available in the office at checkin to off set this.
The room was small, but very clean. The outside property is a little run down with weeds and not well kept up. We had a dog and had to go behind the motel to find an area for our dog to relieve himself. Also the pictures that our shown our old and need to be updated.
Cleanliness was good, but the toilet was not anchored to the floor very well, water pressure was poor in the shower and hot water was almost non existent.
Our stay here was average. The room shown on the web is nothing like the room we stayed in. The walls could use a coat of paint. Thinks where pretty run down.
